Campus management
MBE research has a long-standing focus on providing real estate managers with management information to support decision making. For more than fifteen years MBE has done research on the management of campuses, for universities and universities of applied sciences in the Netherlands. More recently this has been done in the European context and on specific aspects, such as sustainability and innovation. In this area, the research currently focuses on gaining a more thorough understanding of campus management at European universities of technology.
