Our mission at Loops Consulting is to provide tools that help our clients to think through the extended consequences of different strategies or policies.

We offer consulting and training in system dynamics, within the contexts of education, business, and public policy. The team at Loops consists of seven young professionals with diverse backgrounds, allowing us to tailor the project team to the needs of our clients.

In april of mei klinkt jaarlijks het startschot voor de grootste estafetteloop van de wereld: de Batavierenrace. De 54e editie van de Batavierenrace zal van start gaan op vrijdagavond 8 mei 2026. De route loopt van Nijmegen, via Duitsland, de rustige Achterhoek en de Oude Markt in hartje Enschede naar de campus van de Universiteit Twente. De totale loopafstand bedraagt ruim 175 kilometer en is onderverdeeld in 25 etappes (16 heren- en 9 damesetappes). Er nemen ieder jaar ongeveer 8.500 atleten aan deel, allen studenten; aan dit enorme deelnemersaantal dankt de Batavierenrace sinds jaar en dag haar vermelding in het Guinness Book of Records. Kortom, een jaarlijks terugkerend spektakel met een uniek karakter: een mengeling van topsport en zwoegend recreëren! De Batavierenrace is de laatste jaren, zeker in de studentenwereld, maar ook daarbuiten, een begrip geworden. De Batavierenrace is dan ook een uniek en ludiek evenement, dat het verdient om in de kijker te staan. In voorgaande jaren werden reportages over de Batavierenrace bijvoorbeeld uitgezonden door regionale en nationale radio- en televisieomroepen en jaarlijks staat de race onder andere in De Gelderlander en vele andere gedrukte media.
