Introduction

The department of Business Economics and Strategic Management was founded in 1970 by Prof. dr. Henri Vander Eycken. As pioneer of the Foundation Industry University, Henri Vander Eycken identified an important challenge in building bridges between academic institutions and businesses.

Our department still builds upon Henri Vander Eycken’s principles and we focus our educational and research activities on knowledge transfer and partnerships with businesses, governments, households and other stakeholders in today’s society.

With this vision, we develop our competencies into four clusters and areas of application:

• Strategic management
  
• Knowledge transfer and entrepreneurship
  
• Marketing and consumer behaviour
  
• Sustainable mobility and transport infrastructure
