TILBURG UNIVERSITY
At Tilburg University, students are introduced to the latest scientific insights. Internationally reputed faculty
members facilitate them in reaching their full potential by closely attending to their individual development.
Students are better prepared for high levels of responsibility in all areas of society. In 2010, readers of the
prestigious Elsevier magazine voted Tilburg the best specialist university in the Netherlands for the fourth
consecutive year. Today, 12.500 students from 85 different countries around the world coalesce at Tilburg
University to prepare for their future careers. Tilburg University does not only shape the brightest minds, but
fulfills furthermore, an important role in research that contributes to a better understanding of current topics in
the society.
ASSET
As of the summer of 2008, TiSEM has its own Faculty Association: Asset. With nearly 6.000 members it is the
second largest faculty association in the Netherlands. Asset consists of seven study associations. Each Asset
association organizes activities for specific groups of students with a particular field of study and interests. The
goal of Asset is to provide services and activities for its members to enhance their stay at Tilburg University and
broaden their horizons.
STUDY ASSOCIATION POLIS
POLIS is the study association for and by students of Organization Sciences at Tilburg University. Within this study,
relationships between and within organizations are central. POLIS was founded at the 3rd of May 1991 and has
grown over the couple years to an organization with over 500 members. By organizing both relaxing and study
related activities POLIS tries to involve her members with POLIS and the university.
INTERFACULTY SYMPOSIUM 2014 | STAND OUT OR DROP OUT
The Interfaculty Symposium brings together students from different faculties seeking to explore a topic which is
relevant for all students. This year the theme is “Stand out or Drop out”, which titles our discussion about youth
entrance into the tightening labor market. More specifically we invite several keynote speakers to link their own
or their company’s experiences and practices to the following topic:
In the current Dutch economy there is a large surplus on the labor market, which has resulted in an extremely large
pool of applicants that companies can select their employees from. In order to narrow down their options more
and more companies turn to innovative selection processes. With this symposium we hope to discuss what makes
applicants stand out for these companies, why these unique recruitment techniques are necessary and what
benefits they add to the recruitment of employees.
We seek to combine inspiring talks with interactive discussions so that the best students get the opportunity to
debate about a topic which is closely aligned with their position as a student who will be entering the labor market
in the near future.

REASONS FOR COLLABORATION
Exposure
The Interfaculty Symposium can reach over 6.000 students through Faculty Association Asset and Study
Association POLIS. Collaboration therefore means a large exposure for your company enabling you to create
awareness and recognition within a large group of students. Moreover, through our promotional activities your
company name will be highly visible on the Tilburg University Campus, offering you a great opportunity to expand
you profile at the university and to reach even more students from other faculties.
Development
Through partnering with us your company would directly enable students to broaden their horizon by visiting the
symposium. They will be able to gain relevant insight into the discussion at hand by being exposed to several
perspectives on the subject. By rounding their education through symposia such as ours, students will become
more valuable to society at large and possibly to your company in the future.
