D&I Academic Calendar
The Diversity & Inclusivity Office developed the first D&I Academic Calendar in 2020. Since then, the calendar annually marks the richness of UM's community, honouring various events, including UM events, international commemorations, and religious holidays.
The calendar provides an overview of days on which attention is drawn to crucial societal matters. In collaboration with the Maastricht University community the calendar is updated every year.

Why a D&I Academic Calendar?
Over the past five years quite some changes were made to the calendar. Every year the D&I calendar included more important dates thanks to input from the UM community.
The calendar showcases important days for the international UM community, local and Dutch holidays, international remembrance and awareness days, religious holidays, and school holidays for the Netherlands, Nordrhein-Westfalen and Belgium.
The D&I Office tries to find a balance in representing the major holidays and commemorations important to the UM community. Ultimately, all days are chosen in a collaborative community effort. The D&I Office reserves the right to decide whether a day appears on the calendar.
Give Us Feedback
