February was a short, but exciting month at MSM. Time flies when you have fun, it is said. During this past month our MBA and MSc students in Maastricht had fun enjoying a short mid-winter break around the local carnival celebrations, and MSM and its partner institutions enjoyed a great MSM Partners Conference dealing with everything that makes a b-school such an exciting place to be. It again reminded all of us at MSM that the collaborative, networked approach to b-school education is hardwired in our ‘genes’. That this will continue to be the cement that makes MSM strong was also underscored in February by another special partnership, that of MSM and the Maastricht University, with the confirmation by our governing bodies that the integration is on track; and indeed to be deepened and to become a full integration. Times will continue to be exciting at MSM – please read further for more information on this and other news and events taking place at MSM. Read further >
