Research at Maastricht University
We address today’s key challenges, such as sustainability, migration, and technological innovation, and swiftly turn our research into real-world solutions.
Four research themes
STEM research
Research Information Portal
Traditionally, not all activities and achievements of employees are recognised and rewarded equally. For academics specifically, research performance, in particular quantitative measurements such as research output, citation analyses and acquired grants, has predominantly determined their career path for many years. This has led to the undervaluing of other key domains that belong to the core tasks of academic institutions and to increased work pressure and competitiveness among academics.
Maastricht University research institutes
Our research extends beyond the university: we collaborate in multidisciplinary teams and partner with international institutes and companies. Each day, our work focuses on finding ways to improve society.
Recognitions
