Help promising young academics on their way!

By donating to the Professors' Fund, our professors at Maastricht University give budding researchers a helping hand — all the more important in times of corona!

We would like to broaden the support offered by this fund. Help these promising young academics on their way and support this action! All donations go directly to the Professors' Fund.

You can find more information on the website of the University Fund Limburg/SWOL.


“Thanks to a grant from the Professors’ Fund, I’m investigating the relationship between the eyes and the brain. Ultimately, I hope this will enable us to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease through tears instead of cerebrospinal fluid. This will be faster as well as less invasive for patients.” – Marlies Gijs (MHeNs), assistant professor/researcher, University Clinic for Ophthalmology (Photography: Ruben Schipper Fotografie)
