50 years of celebration

or perhaps already a little longer

In 2026, Maastricht University celebrates a special anniversary year. We look back on a memorable Dies Natalis, with many more meaningful moments still to come. Moments to reflect on what has been built together and moments to look ahead.

At FHML, the celebrations already began in 2024. That year, the very first medical students who started in 1974 came together with the four cohorts that followed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their start in Maastricht. These were the pioneers who dared to begin something new, even before a university formally existed. The reunion took place at Tongersestraat 53, the building where it all began 52 years ago. It was a special gathering, filled with shared memories, renewed connections and a shared look towards the future of healthcare.

In the video below, we look back on this special moment. Watch along and celebrate with us.
