End of the academic year

A few days ago the academic year has ended, and we are looking back on an exciting and successful time. We have started many new projects, continued to bring forward existing ones, extended our relationships with many of our corporate partners and built up new corporate relations too. There is reason to be proud of what we have achieved, and we are grateful for the many valuable contacts we have, both in academia and in business - People who continue to ask us the relevant questions, give us important input and feedback, and are working with us in true partnerships.

But we have also made a leap in the process of completing our team, and we have defined and refined our identity as a group of researchers from two of the leading European academic institutions at the intersection of management and social science, by setting up four Centres of Expertise where our research is anchored, and also by putting together this website, which has gone live in March 2009 and has been growing ever since, with information about our lab, with the latest news concerning our four workstreams, and now also with a blog where we are planning to interact with you, our visitors, online.

Please feel free to comment on our blog posts - it's simple and doesn't take a lot of time, and the more of a fruitful dialogue we can create, the better it will be. Just click on the "View Post" link at the bottom of a blog post, then on "Add new comment", and you get the text boxes to fill in your comment.

We wish you all a lovely summer and nice vacations, wherever you may spend them.
