Open Access

Maastricht University embraces the concepts of open access and open science to further strengthen the connections with our environment regionally, nationally and internationally.

Open Access also contributes to our international societal engagement. Open access publications can be used in education without any restrictions. Sharing research results under open-access arrangements is all about creating value for society at large.
