Return to Rotterdam
In 2024, ROCA returned to its European home. Sixteen universities from 11 countries participated, enjoying a remarkable week of engagement, discovery, and connection.
The Opening Ceremony was held on Sunday 17 November and concluded with a Gala Banquet on Friday 22 November. Matches took place in the newly-expanded home of the Rotterdam Business School at its Kralingse Zoom campus. The host school took home gold medals with a comprehensive and compelling presentation on Bolidt, a Rotterdam-based, global leader in synthetic industrial flooring, marine decking, sports flooring and surface courses in non-residential and road construction.
