HOPE - Organizational structure
HOPE is a program at the three universities (Rotterdam, Delft and Leiden) with its own management team and board of directors. Working from the Erasmus University Rotterdam, Hendrik Halbe is the executive director of the program.
Each university also established its own internal HOPE organization referred to as Centers of Entrepreneurship. Their remit includes coordinating and executive tasks.
HOPE - Objective

HOPE’s objectives are based on an analysis of the existing educational programs and comparing them with the ambitions and potential of the three partner Universities:
- renewal and expansion: presenting challenging content, work forms and learning environments
- promotion of an entrepreneurial culture at the universities. This will encourage students and staff to think in terms of how to put their individual and collective knowledge to sound economic advantage
