In memoriam Prof. Dr. Piet Ribbers

We are saddened to share the passing of our former colleague, Piet Ribbers.

Piet was affiliated with the former Faculty of Economics—now Tilburg School of Economics and Management (TiSEM)—from 1986 to 2014, serving as Professor of Administrative Information Systems. During his distinguished career, he also held the roles of Dean and, for many years, Head of the department. In addition, he was one of the founding fathers of the IMMIT program.

Piet will be remembered as a dedicated scholar, an inspiring teacher, and a respected leader who made a lasting impact on our community. Our thoughts are with his wife, children, and grandchildren. We wish them strength and comfort during this difficult time.

IMMIT Cohort 18 begins their third semester in Tilburg

After completing their first year of studies in Aix-en-Provence in France and Turku in Finland, the students of IMMIT Cohort 18 have now arrived in Tilburg to start the third phase of their IMMIT journey.

To mark the beginning of their studies in the Netherlands, Dutch faculty and program coordinators warmly welcomed the students during a kick-off event. The afternoon was filled with team-building activities and outdoor challenges designed to strengthen collaboration and camaraderie within the group after many spent their summers in different places across Europe and the globe. The day concluded with a shared BBQ in the outdoor adventure park, offering opportunities for students and staff to reconnect after the summer break.

The event was a great success and set a positive tone for the semester ahead. The IMMIT team wishes Cohort 18 an inspiring and rewarding time in Tilburg as they continue their international learning journey into their second year!

The graduation ceremony for the 17th cohort of the IMMIT took place in Aix-en-Provence in early September 2025. Hosted by IAE Aix-Marseille Graduate School of Management, the event marked the successful completion of an inspiring international journey shared by students from a variety of different national backgrounds.
