A portrait of Ralf Peeters, professor of Mathematics. Without him, the Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, which offers one of UM’s most successful study programmes, would have been swallowed up by another faculty long ago. Not that he’d ever say as much himself. Read on for portrait of a bridge builder, a puzzler, an art lover and, above all, a scientist.

Have you ever noticed the statue of the sad bear in Stadspark?
The statue and a neighbouring bear pit (with the statue of a girl and dying giraffe) are the artworks of Michel Huisman.
The bear pit was home to 3 generations of bears. All held captive for entertainment. The last one, Jo the Bear, left us in 1993...
In a dream Jo appeared to Michel Huisman, the man who would remember him with this monument. The bear suggested that he should also remember the others, including his friend the giraffe, who, in his opinion, could have had a better death.
A lonely bronze bear on a bench has human hands, they are a cast of the hands of Huisman. The statue can be seen as an ode to the brown bears that lived in the pit and an elegy for extinct animals.
We just wrapped our 6th Science Communications Workshop, Reach & Turn in Panama City, 🇵🇦 . We had an amazing time with colleagues from across Latin America and we continued to discuss how can we ensure that Science plays a key role in achieving the Global Goals for Sustainable Development! #SDG17 #reachandturn
In an effort to build a broader regional network for exchanging ideas and fostering joint projects, they reached out to fellow PhD students in Aachen and Liège and proposed to start a conference series.
Consequently, the byteMal conference series is organized as a cooperative effort by four institutes in the Euregio:
Bioinformatics Department – BiGCaT,Maastricht University
Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology – MaCSBio, Maastricht University
Joint Research Center for Computational Biomedicine – JRC-COMBINE, RWTH Aachen University
Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Unit – BioSys, Université de Liège.
Today, GSCMC students and professors visited Xerox and SPG Prints to deliver the company cases in the headquarter of the companies, in Venray and Boxmeer, respectively. During these projects, they implemented new theories learned throughout the semester. The company cases assisted students to improvize their knowledge, work with the real-life cases and gain experience for their prospective career.
Maastricht Science Programme added 28 new photos.
As you might remember we worked on the preparation of biobased hydrogels during our lab skills for the course "Carbohydrates". We finally accomplished the task and obtained interesting properties. 👍
For further investigation of the morphology, we performed SEM (scanning electron microscopy) measurements. Some pictures we would like to share with you. Enjoy! 😃
Looking forward to a successful collaboration and interesting projects coming from the 'Technasia' :-) !
Maastricht University partners with technical secondary schools in Limburg to strengthen connections
