Being your own boss (or somebody else's)

https://www.wittenborg-online.com/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=14957

When you graduate from Wittenborg and want to enter the Dutch workforce, there are a couple of options. You can start looking for a job, or you can also start your own business. The Netherlands is very friendly to entrepreneurs and start-ups; it is relatively easy to register a new business. However, it does require some skills, knowledge of Dutch business law and a little bit of luck to find success. To begin with, you need to know which rules and regulations apply when you want to start your business in the Netherlands. It is worth noting that the rules, particularly regarding business subsidies and taxation, are different according to the municipality and can change every year based on government planning.

This January, all students and some recent graduates in the Netherlands will receive an email containing an online questionnaire regarding their experience while studying here. The National Student Survey (Nationale Studenten Enquête, NSE) is a regularly conducted survey that contains questions about the quality of the programme you are currently enrolled in, as well as your institute of higher education. This year, the survey will take place between 17 January and 13 March.

2023 starts pretty much as 2022 closed, and although a new year is filled with hope and expectations of a prosperous year, several continuing political and economic situations around the world will still be of concern to our staff and students. We sincerely hope that the year will see peace prevail. Looking forward to a new year of themes and project weeks and discussion debate, hard study and social events - at Wittenborg we will happily concentrate on all the many projects and developments that make our business school the wonderful place it is!

Starting the year with a bang

https://www.wittenborg.eu/practical-advice-how-celebrate-new-year-netherlands.htm

Every country has its own way of celebrating the New Year. A new year means a fresh new start with new opportunities, and the Dutch have their own way of celebrating. Although most traditions are similar to other countries and cultures, the way the people of the Netherlands experience New Year's Eve is a bit different from what you might be used to. If you decide to celebrate the New Year with your friends the Dutch way, this is handy guide will help you.

New Year's Eve in the Netherlands doesn't really start until around 6 p.m., because from then on you are allowed to set off fireworks. Fireworks play a big part in Dutch New Year celebrations. The moment the clock strikes 12, hundreds of rockets will light up the sky as far as the eye can see. These are the larger rockets, but people also use other forms of fireworks on a much smaller scale. It is not unusual to hear firecrackers popping in the streets. In the north, east and south of the country people do rifle shooting instead of setting off fireworks, shooting the lid of a milk can, which gives a very loud bang. This happens mostly in rural areas and less so in cities.

Wittenborg's Project Week on Good Health & Well-Being, held from 19 to 21 December, received an overwhelming positive response from students and staff with regards to the activities conducted and the topics covered. The event, in support of the United Nations' SDG#3 of the same name, involved more than 250 master's and bachelor's students as well as faculty and staff. Throughout the three days, students, invited guest speakers, faculty and staff members immersed themselves in lectures, workshops, a panel discussion, live presentations and research.

The culmination of the project week was the Poster Presentation competition. Students, in groups of 4 or 5, were required to research a community/region's access to quality health care services and evaluate possible solutions to the health and well-being challenges faced. They were then asked to evaluate multiple possible solutions to resolve health and well-being challenges faced by the community/region, taking into consideration cultural and economic realities.
