Maastricht University & India
Since August 2007, India has been Maastricht University’s prime focus country for long term international collaboration and partnerships. The Maastricht University India Strategy has a strong focus on ‘brain circulation’ and is devoted to start up education and research programmes with higher education, medical hospitals and business partners in India. As a result Maastricht University created excellent opportunities for students, academics and professional staff to further their training, knowledge and careers both in India and Maastricht. In its progress of strategy building Maastricht University has been supported by the UM India Advisory Board.
