The Maastricht Young Academy initiated a local chapter of Growing Up in Science in October 2020 at Maastricht University. Since then, several successful GUS sessions have been held, where the speakers have shared their unofficial stories, and have imparted some wise words of advice and encouragement to the audience members. 

Eighth Growing Up in Science event 

The MYA is organising the 8th GUS event on the 3rd of June 2021, from 4-5pm. In this session, dr. Gonny Willems, managing director of Maastricht Working on Europe, will share her unofficial story.
