Interdisciplinary grant
To address the complex challenges of today and tomorrow, we need perspectives and findings from different disciplines working together. Meaningful scientific and methodological innovation requires breaking down disciplinary boundaries and adopting a holistic view of the numerous societal problems we face. The Maastricht Young Academy (MYA) aims to stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration by offering an annual interdisciplinary research grant.
