Ageing well isn’t just about physique. It also means being aware of a healthy brain. To prevent dementia, Martin van Boxtel and his colleagues from ‘Alzheimer Centrum Limburg’ founded the Maastricht Ageing Study (MAAS) 30 years ago. MAAS kept track of 2043 people over 25 years in a longitudinal study to collect data for dementia research. The final follow-up was completed in 2023, a year before Martin’s retirement. In honour of his work, we asked Martin about his proudest moments during his career.

Bloedprikken, een infuus aanleggen of in het oor kijken; zelfs ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige medische handelingen kunnen bij kinderen angst, pijn en stress veroorzaken. Volgens kinderarts-intensivist Piet Leroy zijn comfort en vertrouwen net zo belangrijk als de medische behandeling zelf. Hij onderzoekt daarom hoe zorgverleners traumavrije zorg kunnen bieden en op welke manier zorgverleners comfortzorg kunnen leren toepassen. Leroy is benoemd tot hoogleraar ‘procedurele comfortzorg, sedatie en analgesie bij kinderen voor traumavrije zorgverlening’, en sprak op 8 maart 2024 zijn inaugurele rede uit, getiteld “Omarm de kwetsbaarheid”.

The Faculty of Law of Maastricht University has taken over The Hague Prize for International Law. Thereby, the prize is renamed the Maastricht Prize for International Law. With a view to continuing the prize, the university will collaborate with the municipality of Maastricht.
The department’s research is organised in three faculty programmes (human rights, European law and international economic law) which fall into the national research schools of Human Rights and Ius Commune.
The teaching for which the department is responsible is closely aligned with the research carried out by its staff.
