Maastricht Young Academy
Following the KNAW example, twelve young scientists, selected from six faculties, took the initiative to start a Maastricht division of the Young Academy.
This Maastricht Young Academy (MYA) will be a dynamic and innovative platform where talented scientists from all kind of disciplines will develop visions on science, science policy, and science communication.
The MYA will function as an independent platform within Maastricht University and can function as an advisory group for the Executive Board and other relevant forums. Next to providing advice they will also organise inspiring activities for various target groups within the UM, Limburg and the Euregion. How this platform will start and execute their activities will be developed by its members upcoming months.
