The Cesim Management Game is played in cooperation with many international partners and offers participating students a valuable professional experience on international cooperation. Last year over 200 students with 31 nationalities, living on 4 continents, covering 8 time zones participated. In mixed teams students have to manage an international company. Although this offers a challenge already in itself, the real experience is the intercultural cooperation through the way it is set up. This year there is even a nice prize to win: the winning team is automatically qualified for the grand final of the Cesim Elite program. Zuyd is open to co-operate with more partners.
