Research

Since its establishment, the Maastricht Graduate School of Governance’s research agenda has been growing progressively and is now hosting more than 50 PhD projects. The research fellows involved in these projects are financed by a Marie Curie programme of the European Union and other external sources. The supervision of the junior researchers is guaranteed by a network of scholars at Maastricht University and at the participating partner-universities abroad. The senior research staff at the School works in distinctive niches within the Governance and Policy Analysis research programme. The research fellows and the senior research staff are also involved a large number of short- and medium- term research projects in rich and poor countries. A full description of the past- and current and future research projects will be available within the specific research themes soon.
