Maastricht protest against budget cuts education and research
In times like these, where budget cuts threaten education and research, we are proud of our community. Despite the cancellation of the nationwide protest in Utrecht, students and staff took to the streets of Maastricht to let their voice be heard in a peaceful protest.
We will continue to fight for a future where knowledge and innovation take centre stage. Cabinet: invest in education and research. Stop the cuts to our universities and scientific community!

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.
