Maastricht Young Academy projects

mya

What do we do at the MYA? In addition to providing policy advice, collaborating on events, and contributing to the most important discussions facing young academics at our university, our members all participate in one or more of our ongoing projects. These projects are typically the initiative of the members, though we also form teams when there are timely topics at Maastricht University. Below you will see a selection of the projects that are currently running.
