"I strongly believe that we as academic communities must take on that responsibility and lead the way. The famous question asked by Stefan Collini in his book: “What are universities for?“ has for me a simple answer: we must serve the common good."

According to tradition, Martin Paul was also portrayed. Together with the UM Art and Heritage Commission, he chose artist Luc Dondeyne. The special painting is entitled: 'A Tribute'.

Images: UM and Tapijn, a metamorphosis
At the beginning of March 2020 Tapijn was ready after years of renovation. Doors were wide open to receive students and staff. Unfortunately, corona threw a spanner in the works and the buildings remained empty for a long time. Since the beginning of this academic year, the first UM students and staff have moved into the square buildings of the former Tapijn barracks. The School of Business and Economics, UMIO and the University Library will make use of this building. In addition, study places and lecture rooms are available for each faculty.
Connecting old and new
The renovated three characteristic pavilion buildings are located around the former roll-call square. Architect LIAG has connected these at ground level - under the park - by means of a new plinth. By 'sliding' the connecting building section under the park, the site is provided with a maximum surface area of new public parkland. In this way, the typical historical pavilions remain recognisable as separate buildings and are nevertheless interconnected.

Highlighted: Food is family
What is on the table matters less to her than who she is at the table with. Ronit Shiri-Sverdlov, Professor of Inflammation and Metabolic Health, prefers to eat at home with her family. This was the case in Tel Aviv and is no different in Maastricht. She cooks when she feels like it, often from what happens to be in the house. Just easy, except during holidays and the Jewish holidays. Then everything is pulled out of the closet and carefully prepared. "The Jewish traditions mean a lot to me. The thought of my family in Israel eating at the same time and in the same way at Passover, for example, is so special to me.
