CORE VALUES

In the organisation of MARA we strive for excellence, both when organising the MARA project phases and when creating solutions for MARA partner organisations. We consider excellence an essential value when fulfilling the objectives of MARA.

 

Internationality and interdisciplinarity are cornerstones of the success of MARA. Through our project, we intend to build bridges between a variety of nationalities and academic disciplines. MARA participants have backgrounds in Operations Research, Economics, Business, Psychology, Political Science and other relevant social and natural sciences. They originate from Germany, the UK, the US, Argentina and other European countries. We value this diversity and view it as a prerequisite to the development of creative solutions with lasting value.

 

To create beautiful theory is one thing. To apply it usefully in practice is another. We strongly believe in the idea of practically useful theories and therefore promote an active exchange between academic research and organisational practice - the idea of outreach. We are dedicated to the application of state-of-the-art methodologies to create sustainable value for our partner organisations.
