… areas of expertise. On Friday, 4 October, Vos hosted an interactive workshop to share this expertise titled ‘Sustainable food, how does it get on our plate?’ at BISCI’s home turf, the Villa Flora in Venlo. While the focus of the Dutch Food Week is mainly on what we eat, Vos's workshop addressed how we get food to where it is consumed. By making use of well-known companies such as MacDonald’s and Mars, Vos provided the workshop’s participants with hands-on examples of challenges linked to shaping efficient food supply chains. The main focus of his story was related to sustainability rather than efficiency: ‘Do you have any idea how many kilograms of food the average person wastes per year?’ Vos asked his audience. ‘About 34.3; however, this equates to only an estimated 25% to … home turf, the Villa Flora in Venlo. … During the Dutch Food Week, Bart Vos hosted the interactive workshop ‘Sustainable food, how does it get on our plate?’ at BISCI’s home turf, the Villa Flora in Venlo.

… planet. 2030 also marks an important year for our world’s climate: research has shown that in order to avoid catastrophe, it is critical that significant efforts be made to keep the global temperatures from rising by more than 1.5-2 °C. With 9 years remaining to deliver on the SDGs and to get climate change under control, the world has made some progress, but there is still a long way to go. Not only are we currently reeling from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, but millions of people are also … and targets to protect climate and biodiversity are significantly off track. Taking action for sustainable development As a faculty committed to having a positive impact on the world, the School of Business and Econimics (SBE) believes that one of its main responsibilities is to rise to the occasion, contributing its resources and expertise toward solving critical challenges faced by our global community. To help achieve its mission, SBE recently launched three Spearhead initiatives focused on … institutions in terms of three distinct but interrelated challenges: resilience, sustainability and responsibility. Whereas resilience is understood as ‘having the ability to absorb and recover from shocks,’ sustainability specifically refers to remaining within sound environmental boundaries by moving to a circular and climate-neutral economy. Responsibility extends enterprise beyond prioritising only the short-run interests of direct share and stakeholders. These core concepts are relevant as …
… First with DALL·E 2, an AI system that can create realistic images and art based on a given text, and more recently with ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a language model designed to generate human-like text responses to prompts. We asked SBE researchers Jermain Kaminski, Emir Efendić, and Marc Becker to share their thoughts on how AI systems, like those of OpenAI, are impacting the labour market. Emir Efendić AI's impact on the Labour Market To Emir Efendić, Assistant Professor at SBE, it seems too early … systems can produce content, but it is unclear to what extent they can manage existing content or generate new content. The way we work will certainly change, but whether work itself will change? I’m less inclined to say. As with all new things, it remains to be seen," he adds. Jermain Kaminski, Assistant Professor at SBE, seems to agree with Emir's sentiment on new content: "New and original thoughts will still require human touch for some time to come. In fact, I would expect ‘written by a human’ to become a differentiating …
… Dat blijkt uit een onderzoek onder 2000 Belgen. Een grote meerderheid van de deelnemers (78%) gaf ook aan dat wetenschappers zouden moeten beslissen wie het eerst gevaccineerd wordt.

… during the Covid-19 pandemic compared to older and more experienced cohorts in terms of labour market opportunities, but clearly caught up with the previous two cohorts during the year 2021. The negative impact due to the Covid-19 pandemic is thus mainly a short-term effect and does not seem to be visible in the medium term. Government measures to protect employment opportunities as well as the prevailing severe tightness in the Dutch labour market have helped to offset the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on recent graduates of mbo. These are the main findings of a new study by Maastricht University's Research Centre for Education and the Labour Market (ROA). Good fit between education and labour market protects against job loss The study shows that a good match between the education followed … in a sector hit harder by the Covid-19 measures, as well as those with a non-western migration background, were more likely to lose their jobs than their fellow graduates. This applies to all mbo graduates, who graduated between 2017 and 2019, but mainly to the most recent mbo graduates, who graduated in 2019, a few months before the pandemic outbreak. Relative to older cohorts, it appears that mbo graduates from school year 2018-2019 were more likely to have temporary contracts and lower hourly …
… mbo graduates, so the labor market prospects for mbo4 graduates in particular are relatively good. Higher prices, existing tightness and (geo)political changes will continue to cause uncertainty in the labor market in the coming years. These are the main findings of a new report "The labor market by education and occupation until 2028" by the Research Center for Education and the Labor Market ( ROA ) of Maastricht University. Supply of mbo4 graduates lags behind demand In the period from 2023 to 2028, more than 1.5 million graduates are expected to enter the labor market. Almost 60% of these graduates will come from higher education, and mainly from HBO. In the coming years, this will slowly lead to increasing bottlenecks in the supply of personnel for MBO4 graduates because most of the retiring labor force will be MBO-educated. So says the new ROA report. Consequently, labor market projections for mbo4 graduates through 2028 are more favorable than for bachelor's graduates. In contrast, projections for master's graduates remain favorable. Research leader Jessie Bakens explains that "there is certainly 'skills-upgrading' where employed retirees are replaced by someone with a higher level of education, but theoretically trained bachelors are not always suited to the …
