International Workshop
The 8th International Workshop on Strategic Technology Management was held on the UT campus October 11-15. The `summer workshop,' usually held earlier in the year, is a collaborative effort between the University of Twente, the University of Manchester and the University of Leuneburg in Germany. Sponsored by the Department of Technology and Organization (BBT), the goal of the workshop is to offer real world experience in a diverse international setting with genuine progress shown by the end of the five days. According to workshop organizer Hanneke Bodewes, the event also provides an opportunity to strengthen the ties between the three universities. Each university sends not only students, but also employees and professors who act as advisors during the week. Linking the institutions creates an environment for new research ideas and opportunities for publication and future proposals.
