The Research Project
Research Project Maastricht (RPM), an initiative supported by Maastricht University, aims to successfully conduct company specific research with the aim to meet the unique demands of your company, on a non-profit basis. RPM is carried out annually and is best suited to companies with international ambitions and a global orientation.
RPM consists of a multi-disciplinary team with thirteen carefully selected top students in the final phase of their study. The team members are carefully selected from a large pool of applicants, and possess the technical knowledge, as well as the cultural and linguistic skills required to successfully work in an international business environment. The team members’ competences range from tax, legal and business studies.
Each year since 1989, RPM has performed research in emerging economies including China, Mexico, Brazil, Indonesia and Vietnam. This year the focus is on India, and from January to April 2012, the RPM team is eager to explore and evaluate opportunities for your business on site in India’s emerging economy.
