Why we started
Supply chain decides how well companies compete, but in lectures it can stay abstract. ESCA was set up so students could see how it works inside companies and work on the problems those companies have.

About us
A Supply Chain Association At Erasmus University.
ESCA was founded at Erasmus University Rotterdam to connect students with the companies that run global supply chains. We do that through events, workshops and consulting projects with our partners.

Why ESCA exists
Supply chain, in practice.
What we focus on
We're not a general business club. Everything we do is about supply chain, operations, procurement and logistics.
How we're organised
Anyone can join as a passive member. Students can apply for consulting projects with partner companies (master's students only this round), and committees of students run the association.
How it works
Run by students, backed by the university.
Students run ESCA, the university backs it, and the companies we work with give it purpose.
Erasmus University
Part of Erasmus University.
Being based at Erasmus University Rotterdam gives us access to faculty and research, which keeps our projects and workshops grounded.
Student-Led
Students run everything.
ESCA is run entirely by its committees. Members find partner companies, organise events and manage consulting projects, and learn a lot about leading along the way.
Company partners
Close to the industry.
We work between students, faculty and companies, so what students learn gets tested on questions companies care about.
Why work with us
University-backed, student-run.
ESCA combines student leadership, contact with companies, and the academic standing of Erasmus University Rotterdam.
First of its kind
The only student association at Erasmus University focused entirely on supply chain, operations and logistics.
