Onderzoekers van de Universiteit Maastricht doen momenteel een oproep aan mensen om deel te nemen aan een enquête om inzicht te krijgen in de redenen voor hooggekwalificeerde internationale migranten om te wonen en/of te werken in Limburg (NL) of de Euregio Maas-Rijn.
Het ministerie van onderwijs, cultuur en wetenschap heeft het project ‘Leading to Success: SMART Choices and SMART Tools (aangevraagd door pojectleider Dr. Mindel van de Laar) geselecteerd voor financiering in een competitief selectieproces om open en online onderwijs aan te moedigen.

Three students on our Master’s programme in Public Policy and Human Development took part in a conference in Malta, held on 17-20 April 2019 by the Douzelage European town twinning association within the Europe For Citizens programme.
ITEM researchers kicked off the preparatory work for ITEM’s prospective PhD research project with the title “Understanding the decision of international migrants to stay in or leave the Euroregion” starting in 2017.
The importance of cross-border cooperation manifests itself more than ever during the coronapandemic. Multi-level governance is the foundation for taking the next steps; looking for each other and perpetuating relationships at all levels, in administration, politics and practice. This became clear during the ITEM annual conference on 19 November, which focused on the lessons learned, opportunities and challenges of cross-border cooperation. Watch the video recap.
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.
