In the beginning of my studies PAS gave me excitement when I was scared. But after the nights of PAS I was sure that I am at the right place! This year the program was amazing again and the variety of lectures was even richer, I think. Congrats for the good work! (Tsvetana Pavlova, Student)

"Fantastic edition of the PAS festival, great atmosphere despite not the best weather. Great to see so many people from the community participate and experience Maastricht University. Thanks to all the participating scientists and the great team of Studium Generale and their many helpers. Pleasure, Art and Science👍" (Martin Paul, President of Maastricht University)

Why PAS?

The University and the City
During the PAS-festival, the UM opens the doors of several buildings in the Maastricht Quartier Latin, so that everyone can explore in person unique and often unfamiliar places. They will be treated to a wide variety of short lectures, concerts, dance and theatre performances, art, guided tours and refreshments. Most of the items on the programme will last a maximum of 30 minutes. >>
