At the campus Randwyck, sources of ionising radiation such as X-ray devices and radioactive substances, are used in the fields of medical care, research and education.
The use of these sources requires a governmental license, according to the Nuclear Energy Law.
The radiation protection unit manages this license, on behalf of the boards of the institutions that collaborate in radiation protection: Maastricht University Medical Center+ (MUMC+), Maastricht University (UM), Maastro Clinic, Maastro Proton Therapy BV and Brightlands Incubators Maastricht BV.

When you walked into a room, you would know Ibrahima Kaba was there. He had a magnetic energy about him. He was passionate about everything he took an interest in, and would debate and dance with you for hours - it was hard to keep up with him! He had ambitious dreams to help his country and it is unfair that he can’t ever accomplish them (because we know he could have). It is a great loss to the world of economics and to those who will never again be able to share his company, but it is a privilege to have created so many memories with him.

Some candidates need to pass a GRE-test. The GRE is a standardised test. The exam aims to measure verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, analytical writing, and critical thinking skills.
In case the GRE-requirement applies to you, no exemptions will be made to this requirement.
 

You have to register for this test yourself through https://www.ets.org/gre.html.   Keep the deadline in mind when planning your test date, since it can take three weeks before you receive the result of the test.

The score report must be uploaded in the MyApplication portal before the application deadline. 

GRE-certificates handed in after the application deadline, will not be considered.

Already drafted your first blog post? Have your Twitter account up and running? Recorded a nice video pitch of your research? It’s a great start, but the job is not yet done. Social media is always on the move. To stay relevant, you need to continuously update your pages, hone your message, engage in dialogue and connect with new people.

Do you have specific questions about how to boost the impact of your research? Or just don’t know where to start? We are happy to provide you with individualised support to help you maximise the impact of your research.

 To schedule a meeting with the research communication advisor at the Faculty of Law, Frie Hoekstra, please send an email to f.hoekstra@maastrichtuniversity.nl

Many ways to boost your research impact

When you meet with the research communication advisor, you will discuss the wide range of options you have for promoting your research (see examples below). Together, you will decide which options will be effective at helping you to achieve the greatest impact.

If appropriate, messages about your research or event (possibly including images and/or video) can be communicated via the following channels:

Internal UM channels

External channels

  • Observant
  • Magazines, newspapers: EW, FD, NRC wetenschap, Volkskrant wetenschap, Chapeau, de Limburger
  • Network partners: internal communication channels of relevant network partners of the Faculty of Law
  • Joint communication with stakeholders: internal communication channels available to co-authors (for publications); co-organisers, sponsors and presenters (for events); societal organisations (for relevant research results)
  • Professional organisations: local, national or international professional organisations (for events and relevant research results)

Communication ‘materials'

In addition to deciding on the most appropriate channels for promoting your research, the communications advisor will discuss your need for support in crafting messages and producing visuals such as photos and videos. This could include help with the development of the following:

  • Videos
  • Photos
  • Animations
  • Stories of science 
  • Blog or microblog posts
  • Social media posts
  • Testimonials
  • Flyers
  • Brochures
  • Posters 

Example: Communication of a book launch event

As an example, see below some of the communication materials created for a book launch for researcher Dilek Kurban. For this event, the following steps were taken:

  • a short teaser video was created and shared on social media as well as on faculty channels
  • a list of relevant network partners was created and mobilised to help share news of the event via Twitter and LinkedIn   
  • a blog post was written and shared with the network via Twitter and other blog channels like Verfassungsblog
