Activities

Main EU Legislative Proposals: UM actively follows EU policies and initiatives in the field of education and research. These include the EU Framework Programmes for Research and Innovation, namely: Horizon Europe; policies for the European Education Area (including, but not limited to staff and student mobility under Erasmus+), such as the European Strategy for Universities; European Strategy Forum on Research Infrastructures (ESFRI); Open Innovation, Open Science and the Coalition for Advancing Research Assessment (COARA).
Communication Activities: UM, due to its location in the heart of Europe and its focus on EU-related topics, regularly organises (inter)national events at its Brussels Hub, in Maastricht and at other locations globally. Through projects such as Maastricht Working on Europe, Match, the Young Universities for the Future of Europe alliance (YUFE), UM stimulates critical debate on topics that matter to youth, citizens, scientists, innovators and society in the broadest sense. UM researchers furthermore take part in a variety of conferences, advisory panels and stakeholder sessions of different (inter)national organisations.
