In 2016, the PAS (Parcours of Art & Science) festival is pulling out all the stops, with a programme filled with activities related to art and knowledge that extends over three evenings, which is why it has been named PAS+. This year, the third edition revolves around the 40^th anniversary of Maastricht University. So there’s even more reason to train the spotlight on UM’s wide range of research. The festival also focuses on music, theatre, world music, street theatre, dance, video, arts and cultural heritage.

Part of this PAS+ will be compiled around a number of themes, such as the significance of 40 years of UM for the city and region, crossovers between art and science, the year of dialects, and art and engagement.

An important feature of the festival is the mix of elements of surprise, inspiration, amusement, emotion and interpretation. As a large part of the programme is bilingual, it forms an ideal opportunity for foreign students and expats on the one hand and citizens of Maastricht and far beyond on the other to meet up informally and get to know one another.

And it goes without saying that admission to PAS+ is once again free of charge.
