Alumni Networking Tables
For professionals who would like to share their experiences and be inspired by fellow Alumni, we organize two rounds of 'Networking Tables' under the supervision of a supervisor.
How does it work?
There are two rounds of Networking Tables and after each round you change rooms and tables. You will be classified based on your interest, which you can indicate when registering online. The purpose of the Networking Tables is to share knowledge and personal experiences. The topics form the basis and together with your fellow Alumni you will discuss: Career Development, Lifelong Development, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship. A supervisor will lead and monitor the discussion. Classification is based on preference. We try to take this into account as much as possible. Be surprised and inspired by the experiences of fellow alumni!
Alternative parking places
Prins Bisschopsingel (3 minutes walk)
If you want to park on the Prins Bisschopssingel, cross the first intersection with traffic lights at the end of the bridge and then immediately take the small service road that runs parallel to the “Prins Bisschopsingel”.
Sint Hubertuslaan (3 minutes walk)
An alternative is parking on the “Sint Hubertuslaan”. This is possible under similar conditions as at the “Prins Bisschopssingel”. If you choose this, at the end of the “Kennedybrug” turn right at the intersection with traffic lights and take a (paid) parking space on the left side of the road (park side).
Parking Maastricht Stadspark 1 (8 minutes walk)
A third option is to park your car at “Maastricht Stadspark 1”. To get here, you need to take an earlier exit on the “Kennedy Bridge” just after crossing the Maas. At the end of the exit, go straight and find the car park on your left.
By train
To visit the Alumni Day by train, you need to travel to Maastricht Central Station. From there it is about a 20 minutes walk to Tapijn. You can also take the bus from the central station to “Tongersestraat” and then arrive at Tapijn after a short walk of about 6 minutes. Check in advance www.9292.nl or www.arriva.nl for the most up-to-date travel information.
PAS Festival
The free Pleasure, Art & Science Festival (PAS) is being organized on 9 & 10 September 2022 on different locations. The joint drink after the networking tables will be at the PAS Festival, location Bouillonstraat 3, large garden. At the time of arrival, the Sally Dance Company Maastricht will present two choreographies of talented makers from the Dance Lab. This will be followed by the musical clowns of Okidok and the soulful blues of Robbert Duijf. For more information about the program in the large garden click here.
