UnliMited-Staff Group on UMployee!
The 3rd of December marks the International Day for People with Disabilities. Did you now that persons with disabilities make up 16% of the global population? (source: WHO)
On this day the UnliMited Network at UM is delighted to launch the UnliMited-Staff group on UMployee.
This new UMployee page is open to all UM staff and PhD candidates with a disability, chronic illness or neurodivergence (whether disclosed, not disclosed, diagnosed, self-identified) interested in information on joining our community. Please note that you will never have to share any personal information unless you want to yourself.
The page is also for those colleagues that are interested to learn more about topics related to disability, and those who would like to take an active role in promoting disability inclusion at UM.
Find out who is in our Core Team, read personal stories of staff and PhD researchers at UM and interesting legal information and organisations that advocate for the rights of people with disabilities, chronic illnesses or neurodivergence.
You are welcome in our group!

Due to the Corona crisis, also many cross-border workers are forced to work in their home country. They have been asked not to cross the border to come to their office situated in the neighbouring country. At the moment, this is only possible because the Dutch, Belgian and German governments have agreed on special exemptions from certain rules until the rest of this year. Otherwise, these frontier workers would face major changes with respect to their social security contribution, taxes and health care. But what, if governments and employers from now on will permanently stimulate that employees work more days from home? ITEM has found out that this would have tremendous consequences for cross-border work if legislation does not change accordingly. This is one out of four case of this year’s research into border effects.
