Supply Chain Management partnership

The Hounours consultancy project runs from February to July in parallel with elective courses and the thesis project. During this project, the selected students will work in teams (3-4) on a real-life supply chain challenge and develop research-informed, practical solutions. By formulating a challenge, your organization can benefit from fresh perspectives from a team of Honours students. Only the most motivated and high achieving students are selected for the Honours project. To participate as a company, we ask a contribution of 1.000 Euros to cover some of the additional expenses of this extracurricular activity.

As part of the program, students write an individual thesis between February and June. Many students choose to do so in the form of a ‘problem-solving’ internship with companies, public authorities, or other organizations. These internships offer great opportunities for hosting organizations to address important and complex management problems, and to identify and help develop young talent. To help match students and companies, we invite companies to send us their research project proposals. We will check if the research problem is suitable for a thesis project and post them on our intranet for all SCM students to see and apply. For more specific information regarding what makes a project suitable, please click here. Moreover, with sufficient company interest, we will organize a thesis internship fair on campus.

As part of the kick-activity and throughout the year, we organize company visits and guest lectures in relevant supply chain management areas. For the company visits, we especially value locations where students can see physical supply chain processes in action, e.g., warehouse, terminal, factory.
