Bob Jennekens studied commercial law and STI policy at Maastricht University but worked on his master’s thesis under the supervision of professors from two universities and came to HSE to defend it. He seized the opportunity to benefit from collaboration agreement about student exchange between HSE ISSEK Master’s programme in Governance of Science, Technology and Innovation and Master’s programme in European Studies on Society, Science and Technology (ESST) at Maastricht University. Bob has talked to HSE News about his research, reasons for coming to HSE to defend his thesis, and about his experience here.
