"A multiple case study examining physiotherapists’ views on the ambulatory provision of geriatric rehabilitation"
Lidy's elevator pitch
This thesis examined physiotherapists’ views on the ambulatory (outpatient delivery or at home) provision of geriatric rehabilitation (GR). GR entails integrated multidisciplinary care, aimed at recovery of functioning and participation in frail older persons. Yet, societal developments endanger its sustainability. Both in science and practice, ambulatory GR is increasingly discussed as a potential solution. Nonetheless, utilization is still scarce. This thesis showed that among others, the current regulatory context of GR (for example reimbursement) hinders the ambulatory delivery of GR. Regardless, the participating care professionals were all in favor of the expansion of ambulatory GR and indicated multiple facilitating requirements.

Eva was awarded the prize because of her outstanding study results and the fact that she graduated cum laude.
Eva's experience at Maastricht University
"I chose to study in Maastricht for its international, small-scale and personal learning environment. And this is exactly how I experienced being an ITM and Honours program student. ITM bachelor has proven to be a great space for meeting people from different countries, learning about the healthcare there and, of course, starting to learn how to solve patient cases. The three years took us from physiology, to pathology, to first patient consultations in the hospital. During the Honours program, my group and I worked on patient decision aids for prostate cancer. All these experiences made me even more excited to continue my journey as a student and researcher in the masters and beyond."

"Barriers to Access and Quality in Maternal and Reproductive Healthcare Faced by Female Migrants to Europe: A Narrative Literature Review"
Jil's elevator pitch
Migrants face multiple challenges and health issues. Pregnant migrant women, however, stand out as particularly vulnerable as they suffer adverse maternal and reproductive health outcomes. Differences in reproductive health between migrant and native women are observed even in high-income European countries. An increased risk of morbidity, mortality and stillbirth among migrant women are merely some of the findings highlighting the problem. This literature review summarises the evidence on the reasons and solutions to these outcomes by studying the accessibility, utilization and quality of maternal and reproductive healthcare provided to female migrants in twelve European high-income countries.

"Defining the Immunogenicity of Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Dopaminergic Neurons"
Sasha's elevator pitch
Stem-cell based therapies might prove to be long-term solutions to Parkinson’s Disease. This thesis investigated the immunogenicity of human-derived embryonic stem cell (hESC) grafts in a mouse model, as well as the difference in immunogenicity between MHC-knock out ESCs and wildtype ESCs. The current study depicted that the immunogenicity of in vivo matured A9 dopaminergic neurons is constant over three months post-transplantation, that the MHC-KO of hESCs was successful and that they could be matured into ventral midbrain-specific neural progenitor cells. The current research was performed in the lab of Prof. Roger Barker at the University of Cambridge.

"Investigating Relative Distance, Azimuth and Separation Effects in Realistic Reverberant Multi-Talker Situations"
Jona's elevator pitch
The Cocktail-Party Effect describes a phenomenon that we focus on listening to a conversation partner, while other people are simultaneously talking. Several types of acoustic cues may help us to filter out the relevant stream of speech. We investigated the joint effects of binaural cues, distance-related cues, and room acoustics (i.e., reverberation) on this phenomenon and made significant findings. The results suggest that distance-related cues are only helpful when binaural cues are mostly absent. Moreover, different attentional strategies appear to be adopted depending on the talker positions. However, these strategies seem to be differently robust to increasing level of reverberation.
