… short-term firm benefits of shareholders rather than on long-term sustainable value creation for diverse stakeholders. Corporate governance for sustainable and competitive companies has therefore become a strategic issue for the European Commission. This includes better risk management and the provision of reliable corporate information that facilitates decision-making and influences firm behaviour. This requires responsible accounting and governance, and ultimately responsible finance as a catalyst for responsible business. We are just beginning to understand how these necessary transformations affect firm performance, organizational design, organizational culture, and corporate leadership and a range of questions remains for us to further explore. For instance, how can we train and prepare leaders and employees for situations and problems which by its very nature are ill-defined, dynamic, and complex or present wicked ethical dilemmas? Further questions are related to defining what are norms and values that …

We are proud to be consistently placed in the top 10 of the Times Higher Education Young University Rankings, while maintaining excellent positions in several subject rankings.

Without doubt, the founders of Maastricht University made a dar- ing choice when they started our institution by following a simple principle: do not be a copycat, but try to be different from your older and more established … to current-day chal- lenges that need to be addressed by a knowledge institution. In addition, the ambition was to become a truly international uni- versity, not only due to our location in the heart of Europe, but also building on the significance of the Maastricht Treaty (officially known as the Treaty on European Union) as a cornerstone for European unity and integration.

The use of the international classroom as an interactive space for students and professors to engage in intercultural dialogue helps us to make this con- nection and …

The UNU Critical Policy Lab was born out of the urgency to provide a response to this need, and out of the belief that this process should begin in the university setting - a construction site of ideas, but above all, of social change. Moreover, it also became an opportunity for students to experiment with the possibilities to … Did you achieve your objective and how?

The majority of studies published are cross-sectional, studying the developmental history of the child with ADHD retrospectively, instead of a longitudinal research design. This study aims to test shared and unique involvement of PPFs for ADHD by use of an existing, longitudinal data set, i.e., the KOALA study (see www.koala-study.nl/koala-birth-cohort-study). In the KOALA study, we have followed (and continue to follow) … information on multiple PPFs (biological, cognitive, behavioral (incl. eating habits)) at several time points, both prenatal and perinatal. In 1,000 of them, we contacted their general practitioner and asked about diagnosis of ADHD and medication for this condition when the children were 8-10 years. As many as 8% of the children were reported to have a diagnosis of ADHD, and 7% uses methylphenidate, figures comparable to the Dutch general population. Based on these data, we can now study the relation between PPFs and ADHD and make strong inferences. For instance, we observed a strong association with pre-pregnancy BMI of the mother and that the prevalence is much lower in participants with alternative lifestyles. This …
