Mr. Kees van Rooijen, Director of the Institute for Housing and Urban Development Studies (IHS) I was invited to give the presentation in which he has focused on the importance of foreign direct investments (FDI) and the correlations between the FDI and the level of human development. Hereby we presents you the Director's story on the meaningful event.

On a windy weekend at the end of May, the six board members of IHS Alumni International assembled for a dedicated weekend of brainstorming, prioritizing plans and sharing views and opinions on the development of the network for Urban Professionals. Please join us on a report of this dense meeting and share your ideas with the board of IHS AI.
