Two graduate students from the Faculty of Statistics (Simonetta Longhi and Roberto Patuelli) did their Ph.D. in Economics at VU University (completing their dissertation in September 2005 and 2007, respectively), under the joint supervision of Prof. Njikamp and myself. Subsequently, Pietro Bucci, who graduated in Economics at the University of Bologna (by defending a Thesis which I supervised), successfully received - in 2008 - his Master's degree STREEM in 'Spatial, Transport and Environmental Economics', at VU Amsterdam. These first collaborations founded the basis for a continuous cooperation, still operational, between VU and UNIBO.
