Combining research and business
Interroll cooperates with Fontys University of Applied Sciences
Academic education and business in exchange: Jens Karolyi, Senior Vice President Corporate Marketing and Culture and member of the Group Management at Interroll, and Bram ten Kate, Campus Director of the Dutch Fontys Venlo University of Applied Sciences, have signed a cooperation agreement. The aim of the cooperation is to give students of logistics, IT, engineering and business administration an understanding of the world of intralogistics and to enable them to apply their knowledge in practice at Interroll.
In addition to visits to the company, Interroll will provide students in higher semesters with internships and the opportunity to write their theses. Interroll experts will also give guest lectures at the university. In return, Interroll will be given the opportunity to publish job advertisements in the university media, take part in career fairs and establish and maintain contacts with graduates of Fontys Venlo. "We are looking forward to the cooperation with the renowned Fontys University of Applied Sciences and the exchange with talented people who are enthusiastic about logistics and automation," explains Jens Karolyi, who heads the Interroll Academy in Baal, which is responsible for the cooperation activities.
With around 44,000 students, the state-run Fontys University of Applied Sciences is one of the leading universities in the Netherlands. Around 4,200 of these students study at the International Business School and the School of Technology and Logistics at Fontys Venlo.
