… additional threat to our society. Almost all plastic produced today is made from fossil fuels which increases the amount of greenhouse gases added to the atmosphere, furthering global warming and ultimately climate change.4 Considering the urgency of this environmental issue, one could assume that plastic pollution is at the forefront of climate change discussions and international rulemaking. We argue, however, that plastic pollution has thus far been insufficiently addressed in international law. … issues are discussed.7 Considering the urgency of plastic pollution, it comes as a surprise that it was not included in the final documents of any prior conference nor the most recent one, COP26.8 This is problematic because global plastic pollution can no longer be ignored and its inclusion in international decision-making is critical.

… explicit descriptions of how you address dimensions of gender and diversity in your project. For example, Horizon Europe grant proposal templates now contain a specific one-page section titled “Gender dimension.” It used to be sufficient for applicants to mention gender balance in team composition and sample populations, as well as sex balance in animal models and cell lines. It was also enough for applicants to say that they will follow their institution’s gender equality or diversity plan. … proposals extend beyond team composition. They require thinking carefully about the nature of your research, your methods, and the organisation and implementation of the project, including governance, dissemination, and outreach. The purpose of this document This document contains some prompts/questions to enable you to think comprehensively about the gender/diversity dimensions of your project. Please note a couple of things: • The prompts are meant to spark further thinking, especially during project …

… China Scholarship Council – University Maastricht PhD Programme Application form 2024 Basic information ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Topic: Migration and Inequality This PhD project will examine the links between migration (the movement of a person from one place to another for the purpose of residing in that new place) and inequality. Specifically, this project will investigate the consequences of both international migration and internal migration on structural transformation and how these processes result in different aspects of inequality – including vertical and horizontal inequality - over time. The PhD can take a mainly quantitative approach using household survey, individual survey or census data but can also mix methods, bringing in qualitative data. China would be an excellent case study for this project but other countries can also be studied. 1. …

… Reporting GMO incidents Version 1.0 page 1/6  info-hsbm@maastrichtuniversity.nl Procedure 9 08/2024 Procedure for conduct in the event of and for reporting GMO incidents, accidents, or emergencies Introduction This procedure for GMO incidents, accidents, and emergencies outlines the actions that must be taken by employees, the Departmental Expert for Biosafety (ABV), the employee responsible (VM), the research leader (OL), and Biosafety Officer (BSO) in the event of an incident, accident, or emergency involving genetically modified organisms (GMO). This procedure also applies to events in contained rooms where no GMO is involved. This is because there is always a risk of release of a GMO. The definitions for an incident, accident, and emergency are specified below. Definitions Incident An … an elevated risk of the release of GMOs within the GMO workspace. The event carries a risk of employee contamination but without negative consequences for health. For example: A GMO spillage on the workbench or on the floor that is larger than what can be cleaned with a tissue. Accident An unexpected, unscheduled, and undesirable event that leads to employee or third-party injury, wound, or contamination with potentially pathogenic microorganisms, which could have a negative consequence for the …

… CALL for CONTRIBUTIONS for Regenerate! a two-day workshop on the eco-systemic turn in material research and heritage practices Thursday 20 and Friday 21 March 2025 Maastricht, the Netherlands In this special edition of the annual MACCH symposium we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Maastricht Centre for Arts and Culture, Conservation and Heritage and the launch of the renewed Future Materials Lab at the Jan van Eyck Academie.

… Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology (MaCSBio, and CARIM School for Cardiovascular Diseases, Maastricht University, Maastricht, The Netherlands). Introduction: Blood contains a range of white blood cell types, each with a unique molecular profile. This composition can be derived from epigenetic measurements from blood. The mixture of these cell types are indicative of immune responses in various parts of the body and could therefore pinpoint underlying disease mechanisms as well as have prognostic value for a … the Maastricht Centre for Systems Biology (MaCSBio), one of our aims is therefore to establish personalized risk predictions for CVD in the obese. The eventual goal is preventive medicine: identification of individuals that are at a higher risk, who can receive treatment before developing severe complications. Cell type composition may be key in these predictions. Hypothesis and Objectives: Hypothesis: Cell type composition differs between cardiometabolic disease subtypes and can be used for early …
