The EDLAB Student Advisory Board (ESAB) helps to establish EDLAB’s mission to enrich students’ learning experiences and contribute to educational innovation at Maastricht University.
We are enthusiastic master's and bachelor's students from different faculties, bringing in our experiences from different programmes and backgrounds. Our primary objective? Ensuring that student perspectives on relevant educational matters are voiced and implemented.
We work towards this goal in various ways, for example, by organising Student-Meets on topics relevant to students. Additionally, we are advising in university-wide projects to improve students’ learning experiences, including the UM Student Guidance programme.
Currently, we are working on gathering input about AI in our education and how different faculties deal with it. We are always keen to interact with staff who seek our opinion!
In case of any queries or suggestions, please feel free to reach out to us anonymously or contact one of our members personally.
Meet the ESAB cohort 2024-2025!
