Mission: Transition - Innovation beyond growth

18 December 2025

How to innovate when growth is not your goal? That question was central to this year's final Mission: Transition event at Studio 8 in Rotterdam. Felix van Hoften (Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and Amsterdam University) and Rob van der Rijt (Breda University of Applied Sciences) discussed this topic with seventy students, lecturers and researchers.

There has been an overall slight decrease in new student enrolment and a slight increase in full-time bachelor's programmes.

The number of new students enrolled at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences has decreased by 1.2 per cent compared to last year. This is evident from the provisional enrolment figures. This decline is consistent with the national enrolment figures for higher education published today by the Netherlands Association of Universities of Applied Sciences.
