MYA alumni
Since our founding, a dedicated succession of Young Academics have built our organization into a strong network across Maastricht University. Today, we continue to collaborate with our alumni network. We consult them on diverse matters related to the MYA agenda and they help us connect to their respective faculties and institutions.
