… EDLAB Education Research Grant 2024-2025 — Project proposal Please send your project proposal to a.pan@maastrichtuniversity.nl, no later than Thursday 28 March 2024, 12:00 CET. Overview The aim of this grant is to stimulate both academic and support staff to conduct short-term education research linked to developing understanding of and innovating the problem-based learning & teaching environment at Maastricht University. Grant proposals are submitted by teams of minimum 2 - maximum 6 members, who represent at least 2 different UM faculties/service centres. Proposals can cover a broad range of topics relating to the following aspects of UM education: • Educational design • Educational delivery • Assessment • Teaching/learning experience Examples of sub-topics research questions may be related to: • CCCS in PBL … in educational literature (please include references in Section 5 below) • A clearly defined and well-designed methodological approach • Clear deliverables and/or direct scientific output(s): for example, scientific publications, presentations, workshops for teachers and researchers, input for future research proposals, or a policy brief • Is there a vision for how the project can be sustainable beyond the current funding, and how the project can grow? • How does the main applicant intend to …

… MCEL master thesis project 2022-2023 The Conference on the Future of Europe This year’s MCEL master thesis project ‘The Conference on the Future of Europe’ brings together highly motivated students and expert staff members of the Maastricht Centre for European Law (MCEL). The Conference on the Future of Europe was set up by … the EU Treaties, since ‘several of the Conference proposals require amendments to the Treaties’. The different proposals made by the Conference indeed raise questions of constitutional, institutional, substantive and administrative EU law: In how far can a given proposal put forward by the Conference, be realized under the current Treaty framework? How can the political aspirations of the EU citizens (as expressed in specific proposals adopted by the Conference) be legally best realized? If a Treaty amendment is necessary or useful to realize the political aspirations of the citizens, how should this amendment ideally look like? …

… the most important, but also most challenging, elements in empirical economic research. One difficulty arises from the fact that many policies are endogenous, as they are typically implemented in response to macroeconomic conditions. Accounting for this endogeneity requires a joint dynamic modelling approach of the economy and the policy which disentangles endogenous responses to economic conditions from exogenous changes that can be used to evaluate policy effects [1]. A second complication in modeling the dynamic causal effect of a policy intervention, is to properly account for anticipation effects (ref 2). Economic agents form expectations of future policy changes and act accordingly: new information about a (possible) future policy change - such as a tax reform - may already have consequences on economic agents’ behaviour before the policy is implemented [2-3]. This makes it difficult to get the timing of policy changes right, especially as expectations - or the information shaping expectations - are very difficult to measure using traditional economic data. Text, such as official announcements by the …

… – the structure through which neurons propagate electrical signals – and the myelin coverage of axons – the structure that ensures the speedy, reliable, and energetically efficient propagation of those signals. Experimental evidence suggests that this newly identified form of plasticity is important in learning, for instance for the coordination of fine motor tasks, and can be induced or modulated by external interventions such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. Hypothesis and Objectives: This project will investigate in computational biology simulations, the biophysics underlying this new form of plasticity. Setting and Methods: We will investigate the role of potassium channels located underneath the myelin coverage at juxtaparanodes. …

… additional threat to our society. Almost all plastic produced today is made from fossil fuels which increases the amount of greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere, furthering global warming and ultimately climate change.4 Considering the urgency of this environmental issue, one could assume that plastic pollution is at the forefront of climate change discussions and international rulemaking. We argue, however, that plastic pollution has thus far been insufficiently addressed in international law. … issues are discussed.7 Considering the urgency of plastic pollution, it comes as a surprise that it was not included in the final documents of any prior conference nor the most recent one, COP26.8 This is problematic because global plastic pollution can no longer be ignored and its inclusion in international decision-making is critical. Other international agreements recognize plastic waste as an issue, mainly in connection to marine pollution. Various documents concerning the protection of the … World Population Review (2022) 25.
