Connecting research, education and healthcare

Maastricht UMC+ highlights the added value that comes from connecting its core tasks of healthcare, research, education and training, and valorisation. In committing ourselves to forging ever closer ties between these tasks, we take a broad, integrated approach. The result has been a number of strategic areas in which Maastricht UMC+ excels, both nationally and internationally. We have been working on this for many years and it remains the cornerstone of our strategy. We encourage innovation and multidisciplinary initiatives.

The Maastricht UMC+ Circle of Innovation

The circle of innovation shows how our researchers and specialists acquire new knowledge and put it into practice, create value and encourage healthy living. That is true across the board, whether the subject is cardiac arrhythmia, arthritis or the use of deep brain stimulation to treat Parkinson's, and whether the focus is on prevention and basic research or on innovation and valorisation. The circle of innovation is the basis upon which we promote health in the broadest sense of the word. See prior examples of innovation circles here.
