Nyenrode Business University
Nyenrode is the only private university in the Netherlands. The university offers masters programs in business and accountancy, international MBA programs and executive education for ambitious businesses and government. Being highly selective, with a focus on candidates' motivation and social skills, Nyenrode Business University has created an environment in which students and faculty are all dedicated to bridging the gap between academic rigor and daily business practice. The roots of Nyenrode date back to 1946, when captains of industry from leading Dutch corporations such as KLM, Shell, Unilever, Philips and Akzo, supported up by the late queen's consort Prince Bernhard, took the initiative of starting an educational institute for young, talented, internationally oriented students, looking to become entrepreneurial managers.
The goal was to offer them an intensive business education experience that had no equal. The for business, by business ethos guaranteed that practical relevance would flow through the veins of the institute. The founding fathers chose Nyenrode Castle, alongside the River Vecht, which was built centuries ago to take advantage of the important trade routes on and along the river. Business thinking is therefore not only in every vein, but also in every stone on the estate. The Nyenrode Research and Innovation Institute is searching for new Faculty (especially professors) to strengthen our university. The mission of the Nyenrode Research and Innovation Institute (NRI) is to stimulate, facilitate and sustain international research that is both academically rigorous and managerially relevant by supporting researchers and projects in the best possible manner.
