European Business Tour 2017 - Dublin
The European tour committee is responsible for organizing Dispuut Verkeer European Business Tour. This trip will take place the second week of February during the so-called “Spring” break. The committee is in charge of choosing a destination within the European borders, getting sponsoring, planning T&P and TIL related companies visits and booking hostels, transport and meals. During the Tour, the committee is responsible for the right performance of the trip. Finally, the last but not less important committee task, is to ensure that nobody goes directly to sleep after having dinner without enjoying a drink in a Pub/night bar (remember that: “without night (life) there is no day”).
This trip is an excellent opportunity to get to know another European city, and to have a direct contact with interesting European companies in the field of our studies. The destination of the European Tour 2017 is Dublin!
For companies: We are interested in visiting your company during our five day Business Tour in February 2017. Would your company like to host us for a morningor afternoon? This will give your company the opportunity to present itself, give a tour, let us work on a case or brainstorm with you on a specific problem. Contact the committee via businesstour@dispuutverkeer.nl
For participants: Please check regularly the website and Facebook page to be updated. The subscription is already closed.

European Business Tour 2016 - Hamburg
In the first week of February a group of 23 students went on the European Business Tour. After last year’s success in Istanbul, the participants this year went over to one of the main harbour cities in Europe: Hamburg! Everyone enjoyed the tour and the visits to universities, companies and some nightlife spots. The full story can be read in the April 2016 edition of the Fly Over magazine. But since we know you are curious, here is a short summary:
Visit to universities
The TUHH university and the privately financed Kühne Logistics University were both visited. We got some renewing views on their education and the research they are conducting. During the visit we got to try the new container terminal simulator and interact with the German students.
Airbus
At the tremendous Airbus plant, lots of planes are built and assembled. We were welcomed warm heartedly by one of the Board members who told us everything about the company. Thereafter, we visited some of the plant buildings where we could see the progression from scratch to the final painting of the planes! It was awesome!
Hamburg Harbour
We had a great tour by boat through the harbour which was really impressive as there was lots of activity going on: Cranes, quays and TEU everywhere! Two days after the boat tour we had a great presentation by the Hamburg Port Authority. One of the managers gave us a great presentation providing insights in the context of the harbour of Hamburg, its competitive position and their current plans to improve the hinterland connections.
DHL Express
After a great tour, we returned by plane at Schiphol Airport. To add something extra to the Tour we visited the DHL Express hub. After a nice company presentation we got a tour through the hub where we could see the live operations on the handling of Express packages. We saw the loading and unloading of the planes in just a few minutes. From there, via lots of conveyor belts all the goods get to their destination in a very short time.
Last but not least: the great nightlife!
Too many stories about the Hamburg’ nightlife but to give a short summary: we had great times at the Thai karaoke bar, got more than one drink at the 99ct bar (obviously) and had a very exclusive experience at the Hamburg Sky Bar.
