Anniversary website: 40 years of Maastricht University
Maastricht University will celebrate its fortieth anniversary in 2016. The anniversary activities will focus explicitly on the connection between the university and the city. Throughout the anniversary year, dozens of activities will be organised by and for students and staff. Residents of Maastricht and the rest of Limburg are warmly invited to attend the festivities. An entire week of celebrations will be organised from 5 to 11 September, with the Opening Academic Year and a three-day PAS festival.
The special anniversary website contains an overview of the events (new events to be added).
