We are The only association for Economics and Business students in Luxembourg, connecting future, former and current students by organising networking and career-developing events with our renowned partners.

Who is ANESEC and what do we do?

The National Association of Students in Business and Economics (ANESEC) was founded in the early 80’s. In 1994, the ANESEC was officially registered and adopted a non-profit association status. Furthermore, ANESEC is co-founder of the Fondation des Universitaires en Sciences Economiques (FUSE) and serves as an advisory member to the Association des Cercles Luxembourgeois (ACEL). Today the association is the only national organization representing the interests of Luxembourg’s business and economics students from all over Europe. The association is managed by a board of approximately 10 representatives exercising their mandate as volunteers and for the good of its member students.

ANESEC has four main priorities:

1. We guide and assist high school students in their decision-making process for higher education studies in our field of interest. Hence, we attend events of  several high schools in Luxembourg throughout the year in order to share our experiences with the students. For instance, having completed several university applications ourselves, we try to help them understand the requirements needed to attend certain universities across different countries. We also encourage students to contact us at any time of the year for any further assistance they might need. Hence, at the beginning of the academic year, our ‘Primaner Box’, including several gadgets and contact information sheets, is distributed among Luxembourg’s  graduating highschool students with the main goal of emphasizing our presence as well as our willingness to support and assist.

2. We act as an intermediate party between students and professionals, enabling the former to gather first insights into the labour market. As such, we organize several yearly events during which students get the opportunity to network with our partners, and thus create valuable connections with renowned national employers. Furthermore, these  events often come along with great opportunities such as, individual speed interviews,, professional headshots for LinkedIn profiles and resumes, technical workshops, roundtable discussions and many more. Consequently, these events support students in landing valuable internships and/or their first entry level position.

3. As an association, we are engaged in educating students about the current national and international trending topics within the domains of economics and business. Hence, with the help of our partners and local experienced professionals from the field, we organize lectures and roundtable discussions with the main goal of giving students unique and essential insights into todays’ topics of interest. This year's Career Opportunity Day for instance, enabled students to listen to and connect with leaders within the field of Cryptocurrencies, Blockchain and Financial Technology.

4. We organize several informal events to bring economics and business students closer together and thus create a valuable network. This enables students to share their experience over some food and drinks while exchanging perspectives and connecting with former students as well as ANESEC alumni.
