… MILE department at SBE. It was great to have had him as a colleague for only a few more months before his retirement when I returned to Maastricht last year. In strange COVID-times he was part of feeling at home. I wish him all the best in this new stage in his life and how we will still see a lot of him in spite of his well-earned retirement." - Mark Sanders, Professor, MILE "Erik has been a very knowledgable colleague, always ready to answer questions about research and teaching, and yes, about …

… it.' Relocation of infrastructure Do educational institutions themselves also benefit from offering online education? Is it, for example, cheaper than offering regular education? Blumberg thinks that nothing sensible can be said about that at this stage. 'Replacing regular education with online education is actually a shift in infrastructure and therefore costs', he says. 'After all, you replace classrooms with server rooms, online platforms and other online facilities. And make no mistake, in …

… generally. Early supplier involvement: what does the literature have to say? For many purchasing and supply chain managers this is a given: thou shalt involve thy suppliers early in innovation and new product development. Involving suppliers in early stages of the process is perceived as effective to share ideas and learn from each other. Think about the development of a new electric car, the first of its kind for a given manufacturer. Given that the car now has to carry the weight of the …

… it is naturally within us to develop and disseminate knowledge. One of the paths for this knowledge transfer is BISCI. We work intensively with companies and we also have roles with some governmental bodies, however, I do not believe at this stage we are exactly a “triple-helix” but the model fits us like a glove with respect to the close cooperation between the three areas.’ Shreyas: How do you enjoy Maastricht or Limburg in general? Bart: ‘As someone from Brabant, Limburg is a nice …

… trip on the final hurdle due to some chance events – perhaps they will win their opener against France and assume they can do the same in the Final. And due to this, they will underestimate the home advantage. England might have a relatively easy pool stage, and as a result, manage to overachieve based on their current form (Losing to an underpowered and problem-ridden Wales is not a good look in the Summer Series). If you want to hear more about any parts of my journey feel free to get in touch! …

… analysed. We found that offering participants a platform for discussion beyond a conventional debrief that connects to an actual experience is a more compelling motivator for engaging with research than generalised outcomes presented at a later stage. Some example questions you can ask yourself: What are relevant situations/cases in which to position your research? Are you using language that is relatable for your participants? How can you make your research insightful as you collect …

… Models are way too complicated; they cannot make accurate predictions, and any inference to them is objectively inaccurate and wrong, as usually even mentioned and warned about in the scientific paper. They are usually papers in a work-in-progress stage, and authors are under pressure to write media briefs – which are not longer than a few pages. In that policy brief, they are required to write a non-expert summary. Media, however, will take a wrong prediction of these models taken from the …

… this in the field of supply chain management, due to the various roles, but I suppose I have largely always been in that area.' Grant: Interesting, so subconsciously becoming a supply chain management expert! And why the specific switch at this stage from business back to academia for a PhD? Victor: 'Indeed, why switch to academia. My career has always been in business, and by 2012, I was in my early 40s, I had enough money, had my family and a nice house etc. The only thing I did not have … how do you go about beginning a PhD? Victor: 'Well, of course the usual struggle of securing your funding, which is essentially your salary for the duration of the research and some other costs. It took me a year and half from the idea inception stage to getting the funding secured for it. Ultimately, I found a nice balance of part time employment at Zuyd Hogeschool for two days a week in the educational role I held prior and three days a week on my PhD. During my initial research I found out …
