How do people interact with each other on social media and other online platforms? How do they end up in conflict? And most importantly: how can we prevent these discussions from escalating? PhD candidate Maud Oostindie is researching these questions. On top of that, she is the new ‘Face of Science’ of...

Recreatief lachgasgebruik is tot minstens 60 minuten na inhalatie meetbaar in ademlucht en bloed, en het is technisch haalbaar om hiervoor een meetinstrument te ontwikkelen. Dit blijkt uit gezamenlijk onderzoek door wetenschappers van Universiteit Maastricht, TNO en het LUMC naar de detecteerbaarheid...

De UM is in gesprek met de demonstranten die betrokken zijn bij de bezetting van het FASoS-gebouw vandaag. Inzet is en blijft ‘de-escalatie’, waarbij de veiligheid van alle betrokkenen voorop staat. Tegelijk willen we ervoor zorgen dat onze primaire taak, onderwijs en onderzoek, overal weer zo snel...

When nitrous oxide (laughing gas) is used recreationally, its presence remains detectable in the breath and bloodstream for at least 60 minutes after inhalation, and the development of an instrument to measure it is technically feasible. These were among the findings of a study at Maastricht University...

UM is still in dialogue with the protesting students that are involved in today's occupation of the FASoS building. The aim is and remains 'de-escalation', and the safety of everyone involved comes first. At the same time, we want to ensure that we can fulfil our primary task, education and research...

The theme of the 5th UM Symposium on Global Citizenship Education is transformative engagement, one of the pillars of the UM GCEd initiative and a key competence of UM graduates who will become tomorrow's leaders and changemakers.

It is, I think, fair to say that Brexit is not going well. Some even think that it is a ‘complete and unmitigated mess’. No doubt at least in part for this reason, there has been a flurry of commentary arguing that such momentous a decision should not have been taken by way of referendum (for a...

Service robots are transforming the service industry. From greeting customers to serving food and even offering advice, robots are changing the way businesses interact with their clientele. But how can companies adapt their marketing strategies to this new reality? The Maastricht Center for Robots (MCR...

The entanglement between science and the oil industry is also of the pillars of Mody’s research on how to deal with sustainability in times of scarcity, for which he recently received a Vici grant from the Dutch Research Council (NWO).
