Attacks Brussels
The Executive Board of Maastricht University is deeply shocked by the attacks in Brussels. Hard on the heels of the tragic events in Paris, the heart of the European community has now become the target of horrific terror. On behalf of the entire academic community, our thoughts are with the victims and their families and friends.
All activities at the UM Brussels campus are cancelled until further notice. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a negative travel advice for Brussels. For further information, see www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/reisadviezen/inhoud/belgie .
The Executive Board,
Prof. Martin Paul
Prof. Luc Soete
Dr Nick Bos
