Event Crowd Management
Events are popular. It seems that more and bigger events are organised in the Netherlands every year. Large-scale events place a great demand on organisation, management and licensing, and in particular on security and safety. Because big crowds lead to safety concerns.
Our minor Event Crowd Management offers you insights into the many aspects of event management dealing with group safety, visitor numbers and stakeholder cooperation. By thorough analyses before the event and the application of specific measures, we anticipate on predictable and possible risks.
Please note: for Dutch speaking students
This programme is only offered in Dutch.
