During the 2001 EAIE conference in Porto, Thijs van Vugt of Tilburg University initiated the founding meeting of a new SIG Marketing & Recruitment (M&R). After two successful conferences in Vienna and Torino M&R was given Professional Section status at the General Meeting in Torino.

The Professional Section M&R aims to create a framework for professional and sustainable success in the new and rapidly growing sector of international marketing and recruitment at European Universities, with a focus on degree-seeking students. This success is characterised by offering quality education and services, from prospective student to alumnus.

• To serve as a forum for discussion and networking
• To become a knowledge base for both international marketers and senior management at HEIs
• To share hands on experience and best practice in the field of international marketing and recruitment, aimed at the various needs of HEIs
• To establish links with similar associations in other parts of the world
• To offer and develop annual Conference Sessions aimed at the needs of its members
• To organise sessions and workshops on international marketing and recruitment at the Annual EAIE Conference.

M&R membership is available to all EAIE members who:

• Have or want to develop international Marketing & Recruitment responsibilities within HEI's
• Have overall managerial responsibilities within HEI.
