This edition has the final destination Singapore and Vietnam and will leave around the 9th of May 2022. In total 32 students will participate in the trip.
During the trip, the participants have to perform research. The theme of this year is crisis management. The research will be done on three different levels, namely macro, meso and micro. During the macro research the difference between Singapore, Vietnam en the Netherlands will be researched, mainly focusing on the difference in working circumstances. For the meso and micro research, the participants can indicate in which one of the seven sectors they want to perform it.
