8th edition

“The EMCup has a great ambiance and provides an interesting mix of schools and industries”

Yiannis Batsis Starwood Hotels and Resorts

More than just a competition!

We are proud to introduce the EMCup. During the past 8 years, this prestigious competition amongst the best Hotel Management

Schools in Europe has evolved into a well-established event.

Participating students not only represent their school while working

on academic assignments, the main focus is on making a difference

with their vision and ideas. The EMCup challenges them to think out

of the box about a real life topic and is the perfect possibility to meet,

share visions and build relationships with industry professionals.

Ask well respected hotel management school alumni how they have

been able to accomplish their success, and the majority will include

‘network’ in their answer. Therefore, an important focus of the

competition is creating networking moments, not only for students,

but also for deans, coaches and hospitality professionals. That is why

the true value of the EMCup lies not in the competition itself, but

around it.

Each year, a large variety of companies join the EMCup business

jury to experience the motivation and innovation of the participating

students first hand. And each year, their enthusiasm grows!

Because by sharing ideas, and by feeding them with ideas and input

of others, valuable business ideas are born.

Is your school up for the challenge and willing to share and exchange

with European colleagues? Then we encourage you to grab this

opportunity with both hands.

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress;

working together is success.” - Henry Ford

We look forward to welcoming you in February 2016!

Hospitable regards,

The diversity of the exercises, cultures

and schools gives a great insight in how

the current youth is motivated. It’s a great

networking opportunity and experience.

The benefit for the competence development of

participating students is unique. It will motivate them to

cooperate in the global context of our industry.

The EMCup not only offers an interesting

competition and connections that help

students with their future careers, it also

provides teachers and deans the means to

keep up with the hospitality industry.

The essential success factor of the EMCup is not purely focusing

on victory, but the networks you build, the integrity of your team

and the people you meet along the way.

The EMCup has pushed

out the barriers for both

students, coaches and jury

members – professionally

and personally.

enthusiasm, passion and professionalism

of our future hospitality managers.

Kenneth Cronin – Ecolab4

The EMCup is aimed at ‘I-do-dare students’, those who stand out

from the crowd and show courage, entrepreneurship and a great

level of commitment. It offers students the chance to make a

difference with their vision and ideas, and challenges them to think

out of the box about a real life topic. Not only the quality, knowledge

and creativity of the students claim to be the reason of the success

of the EMCup, networking is also a great contribution.

The competition consists of two phases; the pre-competition phase

and the competition itself in Maastricht, The Netherlands. During

the pre-competition phase, the students prepare themselves

thoroughly by collecting information and writing an academic paper

on the theme.

The competition days themselves focus on presentation skills,

quick thinking, content and creativity. A business jury, composed of

industry professionals representing various aspects of hospitality,

judges the teams and provides them with feedback. Networking

between the business jury members and participating students is

facilitated and the deans have valuable time to interact and share

opinions.

The goal of the EMCup is to create and build long-lasting relationships,

provide hands on experience, open up the horizon for education,

build a bridge between schools and companies and connect young

professionals to the industry.

We believe to have the right formula for success and are proud of our

long list of participating schools and business jury representatives.

What is the EMCup?

The EMCup is the annual competition amongst the best European Hotel Management Schools. The competition, an initiative of HotelloTOP (the networking organisation for alumni of International Hospitality Management Schools), and co-creator Mise en Place, has grown tremendously since the competitions’ foundation in 2009. Year after year, a growing number of schools chooses to participate.

Stenden University of Applied Sciences

If you want to be creative and innovative, if you want to challenge yourself and share your knowledge, if you want to be a part of something big and meet people who share the same passion as you do, then join the EMCup! It will be an experience of a lifetime.

Having the opportunity to join EMCup 2015 was one of the best

experiences that we could make so far in our young careers in the hospitality industry. We are proud to share with everyone the impressions that

we had in the unique environment of Maastricht. Together with all the other enthusiastic participants we had the chance to share our knowledge,

experiences, work together as a group and network with people from the industry. During the whole competition phase, the preparation and the

competition days itself, one thing was always highly important for us, that we stay ourselves, have fun and make the best out of it. The combination

of straightforward, calm, open minded and focused mind-sets helped us to make it that far at the EMCup 2015. The EMCup is a great opportunity

to not only show what you have learned, however also to use that knowledge to create something new. For us the competition was not focused

on winning, more about meeting people, networking, show our passion and love for hospitality. We want to thank everyone again for making this

year’s EMCup such a special event, the teams for taking part and the organisation for creating an inspiring competition.

2nd place 2015

Glion Institute of Higher Education

The EMCup was a fantastic experience in many ways. We had the chance to put the knowledge we gathered during our years of academic study and, for some, our internships to the test, in a competitive setting. But in the end it was not really about competition, we all made unforgettable memories and experiences, as well as friends, all of which will help us develop our careers and ourselves personally.

Getting to know all of the amazing people, organisers, judges and participants alike, was truly a unique opportunity in such a friendly and familiar

setting. In conjunction with the FXE conference, we had a fantastic networking platform, as well as discovering the latest trends and innovations

in our industry. The FXE’s speakers were also a fantastic treat. I would recommend the EMCup to future participants and their schools, to really

measure and appreciate what they are learning and teaching respectively, and the chance to see how their “competition” is doing. Networking and

binding is another reason, but finally fun is certainly the most important reason. This competition is truly a challenge worth taking. To all future

participants, we can only say: prepare for an intense couple of days!

3rd place 2015FH Wien der WKW Institut für Tourismus Management

The EMCup is definitely something we won’t forget in our lives! Imagine you are travelling to a city in another country to take part in a competition and what awaits you is totally different from what you expected. Students from all over Europe with the same interests - the hotel and tourism industry.

The weekend in Maastricht was so awesome, we nearly forgot about the competition itself. We made so many friends that we are still in contact

with and for us, this is what made the weekend so special - the people. We were all on the same level although the competition was still going

on. Talking, laughing and having fun with the other contestants was the best part of the agenda!

However, we wouldn’t have made 3rd place without our coach. Thanks Andrew for motivating us and being part of this wonderful experience.

We can’t recall any other event where we got to know so many interesting professionals from the hospitality industry. The EMCup provided the

possibility for networking and socializing, establishing contacts that will actually boost our careers.

Moderators: Q-Staff

What a great experience to see talented students perform greatly at the European Mise en Place Cup!

It was an honor to moderate the event and to be in close contact with the participating students. We believe that the new generation

has to decide on the future and the EMCup is the perfect platform to do so! These future entrepreneurs, being aware of new trends and

technologies, are the ones who can best predict their and our future.

During the competition, all students gave their best and made it possible for us to be part of their development. Through an interactive

workshop the students were challenged to evaluate their own behavior. We gave them insights into how to further develop certain skills,

strengthening their ability to work in a team. It was great to see how they implemented this behavioral model right away.

Above all, we will remember the amazing energy within the teams; fun and silliness combined with the eagerness to win were the road

to success. We had a great time!

Theme 2016: Surfing the Silver Wave

“The Agenda for the Future”, consisting of the 7 pillars; Water, Power, Food, Pollution, Changing Markets, Health & Care and Education, has been a topic during the EMCup for a few years now. We all know that the world population is expected to grow to 9 billion in 2050, but do we also know the demographics of this population and the influence this has on our industry?

The ageing of the population is one of the most important trends

determining the living and working conditions of the future. Within 35

years, there will be more people alive older than 60 than there will be

people younger than 15. During most of the 21st century, the people

over 60 will be the fastest-growing consumer group in the world.

This “Agequake” influences the business models of various industries

such as health & care, retail, technology and hospitality. Luckily, it also

brings plenty of opportunities!

Research by Barclays shows that the over 65s added £37 billion to the

UK economy through spending on the Hospitality & Leisure sector

in 2014. They contributed over a third (36%) more than the average

consumer and 27% more than the 35 to 54 year olds, who are the

second biggest spending generation. Despite this, the report reveals

that the UK Hospitality & Leisure Sector has missed out on at least

£16 billion in additional revenues by underestimating the spending

power of this generation in the last year.

It’s time to understand the needs of the ageing population, so our

industry can cater to this important age group! It is an extraordinary

business opportunity, for those who dare to look ahead and make

timely adjustments. And that is exactly what the 2015 EMCup will

challenge you to think about!

Hosting City: Maastricht

We invite you to Maastricht! A truly European city, known around the world for its hospitable character. Not only was the important “Treaty of Maastricht” signed here in 1992, the city itself is located at an international crossroads and cities such as Brussels, Liège, Aachen, Cologne and Düsseldorf are within an hour’s journey.

A city with Spanish and Roman ruins, offering sophisticated food and

drinks, French and Belgian twists in the architecture – are we still in

The Netherlands? Located on the border between The Netherlands

and Belgium, Maastricht is one of the oldest cities in The Netherlands,

which is reflected in the beautiful old architecture, from medieval town

ramparts, to cobblestone paving of alleys and streets, seventeenth

century facades and a Roman bridge. Located in the southernmost tip

of The Netherlands, this city has a reputation of being a little foreign

even in its own country.

Ceramics, paper and glass have dominated the city’s economy for

decades. Nowadays the most important industries in Maastricht are

the financial and business servic-

es industry (19.4%), trade/hotel

and catering industry (19.4%)

and the education/health care

sector (31.4%). The city has also

developed strongly because of

the presence of a University and

a College of Higher Education.

Maastricht

Although Maastricht is not a very big city (125.000 inhabitants),

it is usually buzzing with people day and night, many of which are

students. There are hundreds of shops, bars, cafés and restaurants

– Maastricht has the highest café density of The Netherlands: 1 café

per 350 inhabitants versus 1 per 900 on average. One thing about

Maastricht is indisputable: it is a city with a vigorously European out-

look that promotes itself as a nexus of lifestyle, hospitality, knowledge

and culture!

Maastricht boasts over 130 international institutes. Although their

activities are quite varied, they have one thing in common: thanks to

their extensive and vibrant networks, Maastricht is in intimate daily

contact with the entire world. The perfect city for the EMCup!

“The Maastricht Treaty” - February 7th 1992 - The NetherlandsMaastricht gained international fame as the host of the European Summit of 1992, where the “Treaty of Maastricht” was adopted as the formal foundation of the European Union. Being one of the original members and founders of the European Community, the Dutch government arranged a ceremony inside the Provincial Government Buildings on the Meuse, for representatives from the twelve member states of the European Community.Iit has become known, as the birthplace of the European Union, European citizenship, and the single European currency.
