MSM Dean Wim Naudé

Off to a great start! In October we welcomed many new enthusiastic students from all across the world into our programs and joint programs; our Corvers Chair in Innovation Procurement gave an Inaugural Lecture; and our Healthcare Management Executive MBA started as planned in Maastricht, following its hugely successful launch in China last year. In our joint M.Sc. programs with RWTH Aachen University we welcomed a record number of students. And we accompanied Dutch Minister Schippers and a delegation of more than 30 businesses to Japan, where we are in the process of expanding our partnerships and our initiatives in Sports Big Data (with an eye on the 2020 Olympics).  Read about these, and more, in this newsletter.
