Old friends, new intentions: MsM scales up collaboration with ISS, The Hague
Maastricht School of Management (MsM) and the International Institute for Social Studies, The Hague, recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to intensify their collaboration. Specifically, the institutions will collaborate in the area of research and in offering postgraduate programs together, in particular a PhD-degree. In practical terms, this partnership means that potential doctoral students have access to a much wider scope of expertise and topics from the pooling of resources, experts and networks; for instance doctoral students at MsM can, after their first year, proceed into the PhD program of ISS, earning a degree of Erasmus University Rotterdam, of which ISS is a part. And doctoral students at ISS can tackle topics such as the role of business, management and entrepreneurship in development, amongst others. The two institutions are also starting a joint research program on women entrepreneurship in developing and emerging countries.
Both MsM and ISS were established in 1952 as international higher education institutions. ISS is a graduate institute of policy-oriented critical social science, and MsM a graduate school of management with a particular focus on global management science wherein the context of globalization, global public goods and the role of the private sector in sustainable development is paramount.
