The eCommerce Research Cafe (ecrc) is a student club at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences for students interested in online business. The club organizes events like guest lectures and company visits to allow students to conduct research and potentially write their thesis. Students and lecturers from the International Business School are involved. Upcoming plans for the ecrc include a seminar in November, developing an intranet team site, getting other Dutch programs involved, launching a new website, continuing to build company networks, and increasing social media and blogging activities. Students are encouraged to get involved by organizing events, making company connections, website work, and social media activities.
