Inaugural lecture Prof. dr. Simon Beausaert

Appointed professor ‘Learning and Development in Organisations’ in the School of Business and Economics

Lifelong learning only really gets a chance when the organization supports learning and when higher education prepares future employees for lifelong development.

In his inaugural lecture, Simon Beausaert addresses these three questions.
