OUR STORY

Economic On The Move/ EOTM is a nonprofit organization committed to experiential learning that extends economic education beyond the classroom, textbooks, classrooms, and exams. Our instructors have taken students on company tours to show them how economic concepts and theories get put into practice. These tours not only make learning economics enjoyable and exciting, they introduce students to cutting-edge innovations, best business practices and great career opportunities.

EOTM has a strong commitment to making academic economics more inclusive and diverse. Our tours challenge stereotypes, encourage critical thinking and offer students one of the best ways to gain expertise in communicating with people of varied backgrounds.

EOTM Fellowships mentor students in publishing their scholarly research papers, attending conferences and pursuing post-graduate education. EOTM Fellows have gained admission to top graduate programs in economics and business around the world. EOTM welcomes Fellow applications from students with exceptional qualifications, particularly those with demonstrable commitments to a more inclusive society and world.
