Introduction

In times of change or crisis, the ability to adapt is a critical skill for leaders and those who aspire to lead. In this regard, we salute the exemplary resilience and creativity that our staff and students have displayed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Thanks to their efforts, our live-streamed Graduation Ceremony reached more people than ever before, and our new cohort of Master in Management students successfully started their program at our campus in Maastricht in full respect of health safety measures.

Our swift and efficient switch to online education has enabled our executive programs and doctoral ceremonies to take place as scheduled, to the relief and satisfaction of our community of students. We have also been able to continue carrying out our research and capacity-building projects in a range of countries in Africa. We are proud to share some of the preliminary results with you in this newsletter. 

As the situation evolves, we are ready and equipped to adjust our education and research programs to deliver the best possible results. The application deadlines for our next Master in Management and MBA intakes are coming up soon and the deadlines for our executive courses are next! For those of you who wish to receive more information about our programs or get a taste of our education in practice, make sure to speak to our representatives at upcoming virtual education fairs or to register for our online Masterclass next week!
