Maastricht University takes great pride in the inspiring initiatives and dedicated staff who shape and strengthen our education. The Dies Natalis is traditionally an occasion on which we recognise and reward exceptional achievements in education and research, through the Wynand Wijnen Education Prize and the Dissertation Prize. This year, both prizes were presented during the ceremony of the 50th Dies Natalis, where education and research came together to celebrate the future of the university and its impact on society.

The Wynand Wijnen Education Prize was presented to Dr Nicole Kornet for her forward-looking vision and academic leadership in the large-scale redesign of the European Law School bachelor’s programme.
The new curriculum is more coherent and future-focused, with an emphasis on Problem-Based Learning, collaboration and societal challenges.
