History
SCOPE Maastricht was created in 2011 as a merger from study associations EFM Academy and FAME Cooperation. Back then, FAME Cooperation used to be the umbrella organization for study association at the School of Business and Economics, operating a bookstore inside the faculty building. Other study association under FAME included: 3MA (now: SCOPE | 3MA), FS FOCUS (now: SCOPE | FOCUS), IES Network (now: SCOPE | Economics) and Vectum (now: SCOPE | Vectum). EFM Academy was formed as a vereniging under Dutch law in 2002 in a merger of EFM Alfa and EFM Imperator, two study associations that focused on Dutch and international students of the faculty respectively. EFM Academy focused on all first and second-year bachelor students in the B.Sc. programs International Business and Economics. Effectively, most students became member of EFM Academy in the beginning of their studies and stayed in the association for two or three semesters, before their membership was transferred to a study association specialized on their major or study track.
