05/02/2025 – Brainstorm event on INCENTIVE Grant for Maastricht University MACIMIDE researchers

MACIMIDE is offering one or more incentive grants to Maastricht University migration researchers to work collaboratively across faculties. The funding of 10,000 euros has generously been made available by the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences of Maastricht University.

The conditions of the grant are that the money cannot be used to support individual or group-based research projects via a competitive procedure but should rather be used to support the MACIMIDE community as a whole. To ensure that we use the funding as inclusively as possible, in a way that meets the needs of MACIMIDE members and supports the future development of the MACIMIDE community, we would like to invite you to a brainstorm session to develop ideas for how to use the funding. Examples of ideas include: offering skills- and arts-based workshops; inviting scholars or artists on a fellowship to Maastricht; hosting problem-solving “hackathons” or policy labs; providing science communication initiatives and trainings; acquiring/developing shared tools or resources (e.g., datasets, equipment, software, etc.); organizing a conference, symposia or networking activity.

Please join us for drinks, snacks and creative thinking on Wednesday, 05 Feb. from 15:00 to 16:30, in the Attic room 3.002, Grote Gracht 80-82. The session ends with drinks for all.

In-person participation is encouraged, but we will facilitate a hybrid set-up for those who can only join remotely. If you cannot join at all, but want to throw an idea into the ring, feel free to write us an email at: macimide@maastrichtuniversity.nl.
