Over the last five years, Maastricht University’s Faculty of Law together with Mundo has implemented a project to strengthen education and research in international law at the Faculty of Law at Universitas Padjadjaran (UNPAD) in Bandung, Indonesia.

Maastricht University has been awarded a grant of €950.000 by Nuffic for an Orange Knowledge Programme project in Mozambique.
