Collaborate with Nijmegen? Let’s Meet in the Middle!
Would you like to meet a colleague from Radboud University to see if you can work together or exchange expertise? Unfortunately, the planned 'Meet in the middle' meet-up in Venlo on 14 March 2024 will not take place. But we are considering a follow-up.
Maastricht University and Radboud University are on their way to explore and expand their collaboration.
Perhaps you have already made connections yourself and are in the middle of a collaboration project. Or you might be interested in a first meeting with a colleague from Radboud University. How nice would it be to meet each other in an open and inspiring workplace surrounded by a pleasant environment?
Meet in the Middle, at Brightlands Venlo
Luckily, such a place exists, right between Nijmegen and Maastricht: Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo. Here, we will meet on Thursday afternoon 14 March 2024 during the kick-off of our joint event: Meet in the Middle.
Connect with colleagues from Nijmegen at this unique campus and experience how the cross-pollination between our universities opens roads to undiscovered destinations.

On Friday afternoon, 18 October, Minister Eppo Bruins (Education, Culture, and Science) paid a working visit to Maastricht. There, he was briefed by Limburg's educational institutions on current educational topics from the Education Manifesto. The minister also engaged in conversations with teachers and students. Through practical examples, Bruins gained a clear understanding of how education in Limburg is joining forces and taking advantage of the opportunities presented by its border location. In addition, the Province of Limburg and the educational institutions expressed their concerns about government plans that do not sufficiently take these regional opportunities into account.

On 15 October, education minister Bruins informed the Netherlands House of Representatives of his plans to reduce the number of international students in the Netherlands through the Internationalisation in Balance Act (‘Wet Internationalisering in Balans’). Maastricht University has serious concerns about this. The minister seems to completely ignore the need for appropriate policies that the education and business communities as well as the government of Limburg have constantly pointed out in recent times. Appropriate rules with an eye for regional differences are in fact a dire necessity to prevent educational barrenness in Limburg, and to train enough professionals for the tense labour market in the region and the Netherlands.
