Windmills!

The Dutch countryside is just so beautiful!






As you can see, a 20km bike ride can be tiring!

RSM Symposium

My personal take is that there's a lot more focus on sustainability in Europe, in general, and in The Netherlands in particular. You live here for a while and the differences are quite apparent - the biking culture (bicycles, not motorbikes!), focus on alternative energy, less use of plastic etc. 

Given this context, I think it is but natural that RSM should have a keen interest in sustainable business practices.

The third annual RSM Symposium was held yeterday and it was an excellent event. It was quite reassuring to hear from the corporate world that sustainability is indeed a focus for businesses today. The session with Prof. Michael Braungart, the proponent of "Cradle to Cradle design", was also very informative.

I'm now more that halfway through my exchange semester and it is amazing how eventful the last couple of months have been. There has been so much packed in the short time I've been here, I'm excited about what the remaining couple of months have to offer!
