MSC GBS Board member 2017/2018 - Study Trip Coordinator

• Sep 2017 - Sep 2018

With the STAR MSC Board for the master program MSc Global Business & Sustainability 2017-2018 we were appointed to organize social, academic and professional events for the students of our master. The purpose of these events was not only for our fellow students to be able to meet each other outside the classrooms but also to help them develop their academic and professional lives. My role was primarily focused on organizing the biggest event of the year; the study trip. During this year I was responsible for setting up the organizing committee and, subsequently, leading this committee throughout the process. This process included a broad variety of activities, responsibilities and actions (planning, prospecting, decision-making, budgeting, etc). The biggest challenge for me was to continuously evaluate whether the plans that we were making would fit within our budget of approximately €13.000,- euros. Together with the committee, we ensured the smooth organization of a study trip to Morocco for 30 students in the MSc Global Business & Sustainability program (2017-2018). The trip included a mix of social, academic and professional activities organised by the committee and took place in Marrakech, Casablanca and under the bright stars of the Sahara desert. Afterwards, we were very happy to receive positive feedback from all of our participants. Show less

European Study Research Budapest

• Mar 2016 - May 2016

As part of a team of 30 students and two professors we worked on a research project within the theme 'Profits vs. Prosperity: Adapting to a new economy'. Within this theme I have worked in a subgroup to investigate how the entrance to the European Union had changed the business climate in Hungary and what the effect was on firm performance. Important aspects of the business climate that we looked at were the labour mobility, level of corruption and the perceived level of competition. For this investigation Budapest was visited for one week and several companies were interviewed. Show less
