In 2016 we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Maastricht University AND the 35th anniversary of our faculty. A great opportunity to look back on what the faculty has achieved and to look forward to a very promising future. As a token of our gratitude to our alumni who have contributed to our creation and our success, we are pleased to invite you to celebrate this anniversary with us. Please have a look on our website for more information on all anniversary events.

On Saturday, 10 september we will organise an event during which alumni and (former) Faculty of Law staff will have ample opportunity to meet and talk. From 19.00 hours we will join the inspiring, cultural PAS Maastricht programme (Parcours of Art and Science) that will be part of the university’s anniversary activities this year.
