Maastricht Young Academy

MYA members work on various projects throughout the year. We select these projects together, based on our interests and the priorities in our community. In addition, we occasionally host ad hoc events or activities. We also contribute to many task forces and working groups to shape policy inside UM and nationally. Some examples of how we work: 

• Everyone faces challenges. Therefore, we host the Growing Up in Science series to talk about our failures and successes. 
• We stimulate debate on pressing topics within our community by organising events such as topical film screenings at Lumière Cinema. 
• We sponsor intercultural training, because we value diversity yet know it can be challenging.  
• We ensure the implications for early-career academics are considered in policies including Recognition & Rewards (R&R) and the assignment of Starters and Incentives Grants. 
• We collaborate with the Young Academies of the other Dutch universities to share experiences and learn from good practices.
