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 associations at the School of Business and Economics, operating a bookstore inside the faculty building. Other study associations under FAME included: 3MA (later: SCOPE | 3MA), FS FOCUS (later: SCOPE | FOCUS), IES Network (later: SCOPE | Economics) and Vectum (changed to SCOPE | Vectum in 2011, and back to Vectum again in 2020).
