”The profile of the programme is unique in the way that it concentrates on cultural encounters, a concept that is crucial to understand and handle when working with human resource management and organizational processes in consultancy services, NGO’s and public administration agencies. I therefore welcome this new master programme and the effort to educate the kind of multidisciplinary and engaged experts that we need in order to cope with organizational and societal change and to ensure organizational, local and regional development”
