Chairman

Hey everyone! I’m Melis and I’m currently pursuing my Masters in Data Science and Business Analytics at the University of Amsterdam. I am honoured to be leading the organization of this prestigious international competition. Together with my lovely colleagues we are very excited to plan and bring this event to life. I am looking forward to meeting all the participants in April 2025 and spending a few days with you here in Amsterdam, filled with fun activities and of course, econometrics! See you there.

Hi, I am Katrina and I am in my last year of the Econometrics bachelor. I have decided to join the Econometric Game committee to meet more active and interested econometrics and data science students from all around the world. I’m partnering with Jim to oversee this year’s acquisition and promotion for the Econometric Game. Our goal is to make this year’s Econometric Game a truly unforgettable and interesting event for you.

Facilities

Hello! I’m Rafael and I’m in my final year of the Bachelor’s in Econometrics. I’ve always found it fascinating to see how large events, like the Econometric Game, were built from the ground up. So when the opportunity came along to help organise such an event myself, I took it without hesitation! My responsibility is to arrange all the facilities for this year’s edition of the Econometric Game, as well as keeping our social media up to date. And with my wonderful colleagues, I’m more than confident that this event is going to be a great one! Good luck to everyone and see you there!

Hi everyone! My name is Julia and I am in my final year of Bachelor’s in Econometrics and Data Science at the UvA.
