Our sponsors are vital part of ECSS. Their funding makes all our events possible. Additionally, we work with them to host a variety of academic events throughout the year; everything from talks about their tech to interview days and hackathons.
You can learn more about our sponsors on this website. Keep an eye on our Instagram and Events page for the latest academic events.
During term time, we invite our sponsors to hold talks and workshops on campus exclusively for members of ECSS. This is a great opportunity for you to keep up to speed with the latest innovations, network with leading companies, and even secure your graduate job! Our sponsors also regularly bring in pieces of kit for live hardware demonstrations, such as Leonardo with their military grade thermal imaging camera.
Besides talks, we host hackathons and interview days. Hackathons are valuable events where teams of engineers collaborate on hardware/software projects, with the common purpose of completing an assigned challenge. They are great opportunities to use new kit, enhance your skills, and make new friends. The interview days are great opportunities to meet with companies, gain experience with interviews, and of course land a job/internship! ECS graduates are highly sought after.
If your company is interested in sponsoring our society, please reach out to us via email to society@ecs.soton.ac.uk, and our team will be in touch with the details.
We offer different sponsorship packages that include events, JumpStart involvement, sharing job offers with our members, and distributing the company newsletter. We will also include your branding in all our official social media accounts and website.
If you are interested in seeing the raw skills of our members, you can sponsor our annual hackathon, happening every March - you will meet face to face with our members, students in the ECS department (but not only), talk with them, and be part of the judging panel that will award the winners. Your involvement will include an official recognition as a sponsor of the society, you will receive access to members' CVs, and we will share our logo on our social media channels and website.
