WhatCEEAis.

A student association at Bocconi is a structured, student-run organization that builds community and creates programming on campus: events, partnerships, and a visible presence in the student ecosystem. CEEA focuses that energy around Central & Eastern Europe.

Recruitment cycles

Associations typically recruit at the start of semesters and during on-campus association fairs. Consistency and clear roles matter more than huge headcount.

Execution culture

The strongest associations operate like a small studio: defined owners, repeatable formats, and a high bar for comms, logistics, and partner experience.

Collaboration is normal

Joint events with other associations are common and high-leverage: they extend reach, share best practices, and create more interesting formats.

Brand is a differentiator

In a campus full of posters, your visual system is part of your credibility. A consistent aesthetic signals seriousness, even for events.

Partners

We collaborate with companies, alumni, and other Bocconi associations. If you want a curated audience and a clean execution, we should talk.

Workshop

A focused session (60-90 min) with real value: case, hiring, or region-specific insights.

Flagship sponsorship

Brand placement + speaking moment + recruiting angle, aligned with a signature event.

Community support

Enable small formats: dinners, cultural calendar moments, and student travel experiences.
