Europe as a Business Network, Ecosystem and Industry
Unfortunately, this course is cancelled this summer due to COVID-19 regulations. We expect to offer this course again next year.
We will look at the EU as a business network and ecosystem using case studies and a two-day simulation. In the second week students will work on trends and business in the fashion and design industry. This takes place in Italy and students are immersed in the Italian culture and economy to work on a case study. In the third week students are back in Utrecht, where they will finalize their understanding of the trends and issues regarding international business.
