From the region, for the region
Our ambition is to be the driving force behind economic and societal development in the region. We achieve this through our education, research and close collaboration with partners such as Maastricht UMC+ and Brightlands.
Together with our partners
We are active in networks, platforms and associations that enhance our international impact and provide students with access to various programmes and research opportunities.
