After the successful ICCL workshop held in London last February, all ICCL team members from both locations this time met at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, for two days. The researchers presented their current and planned projects, discussed upcoming project contributions to the EU FP7 programme, finalized the ICCL business plan and exchanged exciting ideas that may shape up as future projects.
Friendships and common plans were intensified during an extensive social programme in the evenings which, among others, incorporated a boat tour through Rotterdam's impressive harbor, a visit to the Euromast and an organ concert with dance in the Laurenskerk.

Harry Barkema, Executive Director of the ICCL, was very pleased both about the progress the group has been making in the last six months regarding an increased number of real-life projects with companies as well as the intensifying ties between the members of both locations. Research streams are becoming more and more connected and inter-related, he noted, and the increasing cooperation between the two locations and the four centres of expertise will also increase the ability to conduct even larger projects - within the EU, but also beyond.
