Maastricht University
celebrates 50 years
In 2026, Maastricht University celebrates its 50th anniversary. We invite everyone to look back with us, celebrate together, and think ahead to the next fifty years.
What is
happening?
The anniversary year of Maastricht University is all about connection. Connection between the university and the city, between science and society, and above all: connection between people. Students, staff, alumni, residents of Maastricht and Limburg, and everyone who holds the university close to their heart. We bring this to life through a range of events and stories throughout the year.
