Through his Professorship/Chair in Management Education for Sustainability (a cooperation between Breda University of Applied Sciences and Antwerp Management School), together with his co-professor/chair Lars Moratis, he aims to develop new knowledge and ideas about the state of, strategies for and visions about management education for sustainability and apply and share these insights within the educational and the business sector.
