Partnership Model

Current Education Market
The online delivery of a large variety of learning resources, such as talks, webinars, courses, and even conferences, has made it possible for ever more providers to enter the worldwide education and training space. This, of course, is a positive development for working professionals and continuous learners everywhere, as they have more learning opportunities available to them. The effect, however, on providers of professional and executive education, is that the market is getting more competitive. This leads to collaboration between and mergers of learning providers on the one hand and to further differentiation and specialization on the other.

Curiosity and Learning
Curiosity Center's customers are corporations in knowledge industries, such as pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, energy/clean tech, engineering. Our mission is to reignite in their employees (researchers, practitioners and other working professionals), the very fire of curiosity they once held for their fields. This curiosity and the resulting and necessary, continuous learning activities are a few of the precursors to innovations – the prized and seemingly elusive grand achievements – on which our corporate customers so depend and which drive their businesses.

Bridge to Learning Providers
Beyond our immediate mission, Curiosity Center acts as a bridge between these corporations and the providers of learning opportunities.
Concretely, we assist corporations, or more precisely their employees to find suitable learning opportunities and learning paths fitted to their roles and functions. We encourage and facilitate the learning process through social learning, engagement and retention mechanisms.
