Introduction
The exciting news is here! We were delighted to share last May that MSM and Maastricht University have successfully completed their long anticipated integration process. After the summer, MSM will join forces with Maastricht University’s School of Business and Economics and move to its new location in the beautiful environment of the Tapijnkazerne in Maastricht.
In recent weeks, we hosted two much valued events by our international community of students, alumni and business partners, the MSM Annual Corporate Week and the MBA Summer School. Participants highly appreciated these opportunities to meet face to face again and exchange insights and experiences.
Our students demonstrated their societal engagement and commitment to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by participating in not one, but two SDG Challenge competitions. The MSM team even won the Audience Award in the National SDG Challenge and their enthusiastic testimonials make a rewarding read!
At international level, we were pleased to see MSM’s successful and long-standing collaboration with Nanjing University featured in a China Daily article celebrating the 120th anniversary of our Chinese partner university. This newsletter also brings you updates on two on-going projects in Africa, focusing respectively on capacity building in the horticulture sector in Uganda and on women’s equality and empowerment in higher education in Ethiopia.
For those of you interested in our Online and Executive MBA programs and Execution Education programs, make sure to check out our students’ blogs and interviews recounting their individual experiences.
The MSM team wishes you all an excellent and relaxing summer holiday!
