The Maastricht School of Management (MsM) is a leading international business school, dedicated to management education, research and corporate and institutional development.
Since it was founded in the 1950s, MsM has been at the intersection of industrialisation, economic transition and management education, in support of sustainable economic development. The school operates independently as a foundation, governed by an international Executive Board comprised of representatives from industry, government and the academic world.
MsM is a key player in the global business education area as one of the few business schools that systematically merges education, consulting and research activities, utilising its expertise for the development of managerial capabilities at institutional and corporate level.
With its wide range of activities and geographical spread, MsM is one of the world’s major specialised business schools. Approximately fifty international training programmes and consulting assignments are conducted annually, with operations spanning more than thirty countries.

The International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) is an internationally renowned postgraduate school of social science teaching and research in the field of development studies established in the Netherlands. Founded in 1952, ISS is one of Europe’s leading centres in this field. It generates, accumulates and transfers knowledge and know-how on human aspects of economic and social change, with a focus on development and transition.
The Institute works with and for a multicultural community in a dynamic environment, stimulating open dialogue and the exchange of experience of development issues among participants and staff.

The Netherlands Institute for International Relations Clingendael (Clingendael) may be called unique in that it is both a diplomatic academy and a research centre.
The Clingendael Institute was established in 1983 by a merger of various Dutch institutes, which were active in the field of international relations. Its main objective is to promote the understanding of international affairs.
As a diplomatic academy, it offers specialised training programmes to diplomats and other civil servants from Europe and from developing countries and countries in transition. By seeking to bridge the gap between theory and practice, the Institute hopes to develop the types of scholarly knowledge that can be employed by policy advisors.
