University Fund Limburg
Support Maastricht University
Science is an indispensable building block for a better future for us and future generations. The University Fund Limburg supports Maastricht University in its efforts to stimulate and promote scientific research and education and serves as a 'bridge' between the university and society.
The Fund is committed to fostering a strong relationship and mutually beneficial connections between the university and its surroundings, including its alumni, the business community, and relevant social organizations.
The University Fund Limburg was established in 1965 with the founding of the Limburg Scientific Education Foundation (SWOL). This foundation started with an initial capital of only 250 guilders. Thanks to SWOL's efforts, the new medical faculty was brought to Maastricht, and in 1974, the first students began their medical studies. This marked the beginning of the development of what is now Maastricht University.
