I am applying for the personal mobility grant to fund my CEMS exchange in Germany. In my application I express my reasons to go for CEMS and exchange in Cologne, that are tightly related to my long - lasting interest in waste management practices and incr easing number of JV between German/Norwegian and Eastern European countries with the focus on the difficuilties they face when developing the market penetration strategy. I am presenting an overview of my master thesis that I need to complete in order to graduate both from CEMS and NHH.
