We know what we stand for
At Maastricht University, we pride ourselves on being an open and inclusive academic community dedicated to creating a social, safe and sustainable learning and working environment. Our education and research programmes address regional, national, European, and global issues.
Social safety
UM's Sexual Safety Programme strives to create a safe environment for everyone, free from sexual violence. Our university president, Rianne Letschert, co-leads this initiative for the entire university sector in collaboration with the rector of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
A safe environment is essential for your growth
Recognition & Rewards
UM wants to ensure every employee has a fulfilling career in which their capabilities are used, seen and recognised by others.
In 2019, Dutch public academic institutions and funders of research (UNL, NFU, KNAW, NWO and ZonMw) launched a nationwide initiative to redefine the recognition and reward of university staff.
Our university's president Rianne Letschert is co-leading the programme for the entire university sector together with the rector of the Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam.
