Het terrein aan de Sorbonnelaan in de Maastrichtse wijk Randwyck oogde zo’n twee jaar geleden nog ietwat kaal en afgelegen. Dat had vooral te maken met de modulaire en tijdelijke uitstraling van de studentenwoningen die er in korte tijd zijn gerealiseerd. Inmiddels krijgt de plek steeds meer het karakter van een heuse studentencampus, dankzij de aangebrachte groenvoorzieningen, ontmoetingsplekken en de mix aan studenten die er dagelijks komt en gaat. De campus is nu het thuis van ruim 800 studenten. Hoe het is om te wonen, leven en werken op deze plek? We vroegen het tijdens een rondje over het campusterrein.

Anecdotal evidence imply that what ones sees in a sausage factory cannot be unseen, and such an experience somehow takes away something from the joy that stems out of the carefree consumption of such delicacies. In this blog entry about the international poverty line’s maladies I don’t want to ask nearly as much of you; but then, that also depends on your taste.

The area on the Sorbonnelaan in the Maastricht neighbourhood of Randwyck looked somewhat bare and remote about two years ago. This was mainly due to the modular and temporary appearance of the student houses that were quickly built there. Meanwhile, the area is increasingly taking on the character of a real student campus thanks to the green areas, meeting places and the mix of students coming and going every day. The campus is now home to over 800 students. What’s it like to live and work here? We asked during a tour of the campus grounds.

![transformation](/sites/default/files/2024-07/transformations.jpg)
In the ever-evolving landscape of research and politics, the concept of purposive transformations has been growing in importance over the past years. However, the literature on transformations is diverse, lacking coherence, and necessitating better theorisation and cross-fertilisation. Typically, the term "transformations" is used in opposition to a past situation or future scenarios that differ significantly from the present.
This blog post delves into various meanings of the term across different fields, including sociotechnical system transitions, socio-ecological transformation, transformative social innovation, urban transformations, governance of transformations, and political economy. For those interested in delving deeper, a reading group on transformation mechanisms and patterns will start after the summer.
