Introduction
In this last newsletter of 2022, we close off the year with sharing some good news. A team of MSM's Master in Management (MiM) and full-time MBA students again successfully participated in the national SDG-challenge by being awarded with the Audience Award and coming in fourth overall, out of 15. The MiM and full-time MBA students also go full speed ahead with their programme and completed their last modules before the holiday season. In this newsletter, you can read more about the student experiences in the Research Methods and Accounting for Managers modules.
The last few weeks we also welcomed many international participants at the Maastricht University - MSM Tapijn campus for our Short Executive Programmes. Below you can read how participants of the Change Management, Strategic Leadership and Project Management programme benefitted from the lessons learned during the programme. Don't forget to have a look at the programmes coming up in the beginning of 2023 and the video about the Women Entrepreneurship Policy programme, starting in July 2023.
In this newsletter, we also highlight some of the capacity development projects that are carried out by MSM's Expert Centre on Emerging Economies. MSM proudly contributed to economic growth and sustainable development through projects on Gender Equality and Women Empowerment in Ethiopia, Sustainable Peace and Economic Development in Colombia and Agricultural Vocational Education in Indonesia.
For now, I would like to wish you a happy and healthy 2023! We look forward to another successful year and will keep you updated about MSM’s achievements as part of Maastricht University School of Business and Economics.
