This role is for a student assistant to support the organization of the EAAE 2025 Congress, a significant networking event in European agricultural and food economics. The position is part-time for two months (July and August), with a focus on the period of August 18-29, likely the core dates of the congress.
Key responsibilities primarily revolve around the practical, on-site execution of the congress:
* Welcoming participants and managing the registration/info point.
* Assisting attendees with directions and information on-site.
* Supporting the maintenance of cleanliness in catering areas.
* Aiding with the supporting program activities.
* Helping with the setup and dismantling of conference infrastructure.
The essential qualities and skills required are:
* Reliability and teamwork ability.
* Strong communication skills and a friendly demeanor.
* Very good knowledge of English.
* Enjoyment of organizing.
* Commitment and organizational skills.
From the perspective of the hiring manager and the success of the conference, the value of this role lies in:
* Ensuring a smooth and positive experience for congress participants: The student assistants are often the first point of contact and play a crucial role in making attendees feel welcomed and supported, which is vital for a networking event. Their help with registration, information, and on-site orientation directly contributes to this.
* Facilitating the operational aspects of the congress: Assistance with catering area cleanliness, supporting programs, and infrastructure setup/dismantling are essential for the practical functioning of a large event.
* Contributing to the overall success of the event: By handling these crucial support tasks effectively, the student assistants free up the core organizing team to focus on higher-level strategic and academic aspects of the congress. This active participation and commitment are highlighted as important.
Now, let's connect this to the business understanding aspects you mentioned as being important for the hiring manager:
While this specific student assistant role is heavily focused on logistical and support tasks rather than strategic business analysis, the hiring manager's emphasis on business acumen indicates a desire for employees who can see the bigger picture. For this role, demonstrating an understanding of business principles, even at a basic level, would mean:
* Understanding the "Big Picture": Recognizing that the congress is a significant event for the Institute, attracting participants from across Europe to discuss important issues in agricultural and food economics. Understanding that its success contributes to the Institute's reputation and networking capabilities.
* Understanding the "Business Model" of the Conference (as a proxy): While not a traditional for-profit business, the conference likely has financial aspects (registration fees, sponsorships, grants) and aims to provide value to its "customers" (attendees, presenters, sponsors). Understanding that their role in ensuring a positive attendee experience contributes to the perceived value and future success of the event.
* Understanding the "Value Chain" (in a service context): Recognizing their place in the chain of activities required to deliver a successful conference. Their tasks, though seemingly small, are essential links in the overall process from planning to execution to post-event follow-up.
* Curiosity and Broad Perspective: Applying this curiosity to understanding the purpose of the congress, the topics being discussed (agricultural and food economics), and the diverse background of the international participants. This broader perspective can help them better anticipate participant needs and contribute more effectively.
In essence, while the day-to-day tasks are operational, a candidate who can demonstrate reliability, strong communication, and a proactive attitude, combined with an underlying curiosity and understanding of the event's purpose and importance, would likely be a strong fit. The ability to see how their support role contributes to the larger goals of the congress and the Institute is valuable, even if they aren't directly involved in calculating EBITDA or market share. The desire for "curiosity to the core, broad perspective" in your context aligns well with the opportunity this role offers to gain "Insights into the course of a scientific conference," "Working in an international environment," and "Insights into agricultural and food economics topics."

Okay, based on the job vacancy text, which states the employment is for two months (July and August) with an average of 8 hours per week, and specifies that the main period of employment will be August 18-29, we can estimate a probable percentage distribution of tasks.
It's important to note that the "8 hours per week" is likely an average over the two months, with a significantly higher concentration of hours during the main period (August 18-29) when the hands-on congress support is needed. The tasks listed are primarily focused on the on-site execution of the event.
Here's a possible approximate percentage distribution of the total work hours over the two months:
Overall Distribution (July and August):
* Preparatory/Lighter Tasks (July to approximately August 17): Given that the "main period" starts on August 18th, the tasks in July and the first half of August are likely less intensive. These might involve initial briefings, familiarization with the venue or schedule, or minor administrative support if needed.
* Estimated Percentage: 35-40% of total hours.
* On-site Congress Support (Approximately August 18 to August 29): This is explicitly stated as the "main period" and aligns with the core dates of the congress (August 26-29) and the necessary setup and dismantling time. The majority of the listed tasks fall into this period.
* Estimated Percentage: 60-65% of total hours.
Distribution within the On-site Congress Support Period (Approximately August 18 to August 29):
Within this more intensive two-week period, the tasks could be roughly distributed as follows:
* Welcoming Participants and Supervising Registration/Info Point: This is typically heaviest at the beginning of the congress.
* Estimated Percentage: 25-30% (of the hours worked in this period).
* Support with Setting Up Conference Infrastructure: This would be concentrated in the days immediately before the congress starts.
* Estimated Percentage: 15-20% (of the hours worked in this period).
* Supporting Participants with Orientation and Information: This would be ongoing throughout the congress.
* Estimated Percentage: 15-20% (of the hours worked in this period).
* Support in Ensuring Cleanliness and Order in the Catering Area: This task would be spread throughout the congress days, likely with more intensity during breaks and meal times.
* Estimated Percentage: 10-15% (of the hours worked in this period).
* Support with the Supporting Program: This depends on the schedule of the supporting program events, likely spread throughout the congress.
* Estimated Percentage: 10-15% (of the hours worked in this period).
* Support with Dismantling: This would occur on the last day and possibly the day after the congress.
* This would be part of the "Setup and Dismantling" category.
In summary, for the two months:
You can expect a lighter workload averaging around 4 hours per week in July and the first half of August, potentially involving preparatory tasks. The workload will significantly increase to an average of around 20 hours per week during the main period of August 18th to 29th, focusing heavily on direct support for the congress operations, with a likely emphasis on registration, participant assistance, and logistical setup/dismantling.
This is an estimation, and the actual distribution may vary depending on the specific needs of the organizing team as the congress dates approach.
