Study: Master Strategic Management

Motivation: My application for the Asset International Conference Committee was driven by a couple of reasons. Knowing that in the second semester I only had to write my bachelor thesis and just had two courses left in my master's program, I came to the conclusion that it would be a nice opportunity to develop other skills as well. Chairing the committee also gives me a year of experience in aspects which will involve my professional carreer after graduating the Strategic Management program. Lastly, you get to meet many interesting and also famous people, which has been a great experience.
