How will we feed the world in 2050 in a sustainable and healthy way? Which techniques will we use for this? Maastricht University will start looking for answers on October 8th in a new, environmentally friendly greenhouse on the Brightlands Campus Greenport Venlo.
As of September 1st, the Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence has officially become a collaboration between 18 Dutch knowledge institutions, including Maastricht University.
This summer, the first students finished their master’s programme in Imaging Engineering. They appreciate the opportunity to be involved in this world-wide unique programme that combines science and technology in imaging. Their secret to success is chocolate.
"We are the pioneers in a brand-new field of engineering sciences, not just in Maastricht but globally as well", says Francesco Ferrari about the group of thirteen students, himself included, who in July received the first bachelor's degree in Circular Engineering.
Maastricht University received grants for three of the ten research projects starting in the National Growth Fund program Circular Plastics NL.
"I am proud that our new Circular Plastics group published its first completely in-house research," Kim Ragaert says. She founded the research group three years ago, when she moved to Maastricht. Her work has laid the foundations for many innovations in the field of plastic recycling, and she is...
Programming quantum computers, like the quantum computer itself, is still in its early stages. Quantum computing researchers tend to be physicists, mathematicians, or computer scientists who have a special interest in the mathematical framework of quantum mechanics.
Atoms and smaller elementary particles behave in unusual, sometimes unpredictable ways. It sounds strange, but it is this unpredictability that gives a quantum computer its power. Executing precise calculations with previously unheard-of possibilities in a way that physicists still do not completely...
Gerco Onderwater investigates the flavour of the universe while guarding the flavour of the Maastricht Science Programme. On 31 May, during his inaugural lecture, he provided a pre-taste of his work in Maastricht.
The perfect recycling of plastics from household waste is one step closer, thanks to research into quality monitoring at all stages of the recycling process. The University of Maastricht, the National Test Centre Circular Plastics, and their collaborators have received a government subsidy of over...
