My answer: First of all, UM is of great importance to the region and the city of Maastricht, for example as one of the largest employers. And that we have, with our partners, the province of Limburg, the communities and partners form industries built the Brightlands campusses, who are seen as a best practice example by many international colleagues how to develop triple helix strategies. It is this close … its foundation in 1976 and is still growing every day As I have said earlier, a good interaction and a joint agenda with our regional government has been essential for this success. Because of this profile, the Dutch government should think how it can facilitate interactions between regions and universities even more. Germany, for example, takes a radical approach in this context. It is the Länder, the states, which play a central role in the allocation of funding for a university in Germany. …

… Implementation plan IND standard as a minimum for new non-EEA PhD Scholarships per 01-01-2025 Background: Maastricht University (UM) considers it undesirable that some (groups of) non-EEA PhD candidates with a scholarship (hereafter scholarship PhD candidates) are in a situation that their monthly allowance is below the value of the IND standard. The IND standard is used to determine whether one’s income is sufficient to receive a residence … every six months. Especially over the past years, PhD candidates who started their program at UM with a scholarship, have experienced significant inflation, and because of a lack of (sufficient) inflation correction by the scholarship provider, they are now in the situation where their scholarship is (far) below the current IND standard.

… 5th International Seminar on Law and Economics Held in Beijing) Call for Papers 1. Organizers This will be a seminar jointly organized by the School of Law and Economics at the China University of Political Science and Law (CUPL), in collaboration with the Maastricht European Institute for Transnational Legal Research (METRO). 2. Date and Venue The seminar will be held at the Haidian Campus of CUPL, Beijing, and the provisional date for the seminar is Friday, 2 June, 2017, the entire day. 3. Goal The goal of the seminar is to explore the relationship between law and finance in both developed countries and developing countries, particularly the United States, the European Union, and China, with special attention to the new development in theory and practice after the financial crisis of 2008. The financial system is praised as “the brain of the economy” by Mishkin. In the absence of a financial system, it is hard or even impossible to transfer idle funds to more efficient uses; new ideas, innovative products, and productive investments will therefore have to be abandoned, and the society will in turn be trapped into status quo. Financial markets, however, cannot function well without the support of a well designed and effectively operating regulatory regime, which can be relied on to correct market failures, reduce transaction costs, and avoid systemic risks. The financial crisis of 2008 has not only …
