Mr Santos thanked everyone involved who had made the project possible, “for their commitment and perseverance in training better prepared, global professionals” and insisted that “both sides must continue in their vocation of lifelong learning”. Morris assured attendees that “15 years ago, we found in La Salle a university that shared and complemented us in all aspects: development, great professionals, an institution with a culture of transparency and a desire for constant improvement”. To commemorate the collaboration, La Salle-URL presented him with a plaque in recognition of his decisive work in the creation and consolidation of the relationship between the two organisations.
The first collaboration agreement between La Salle-URL and ESAN was signed in 2003, when more than 20 students completed a two-week study placement on the La Salle Campus. Since then, the two institutions began to offer joint postgraduate studies, including an international placement on campus. 2006 saw the start of the joint Master’s in Technology Management, the Master’s in Project Management in 2008, and in 2009 the Master’s in Supply Chain Management and Technology . Collaboration has also extended to MBA programmes.
