Brightlands Maastricht
\nHealth Campus<\/h2>\n

This campus is a green heart in the middle of the city, where education, knowledge institutes and companies work together closely on groundbreaking solutions for a healthier life. This valorisation campus is making state-of-the-art medical advancements on an international level. It\u2019s also an attractive part of the city where students, researchers and staff truly feel they are part of a community. This is a community where a sense of security prevails, and the setting contributes to its users\u2019 well-being so that conference attendees, patients, visitors and local residents can all enjoy spending time there. These are the future prospects for the Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus, which will assume its final form in Randwyck, Maastricht, over the coming years.<\/p>\n

Connection to
\nthe region<\/h2>\n

We explicitly look for ways to work closely with our own region, one that is developing at a rapid pace. We offer a platform for sharing knowledge, and are the connecting factor between various academic institutions in the city and region. The Brightlands campuses play an important role in this. Within the Brightlands Maastricht Health Campus, MECC Maastricht represents the centre of an inspiring and stimulating campus environment for top national and international institutes, particularly those active in Life Sciences & Health. The Brightlands campuses also tap into other important areas, such as chemistry, materials and food. The conference centre doesn\u2019t just represent a substantial value for business activities and employment, it is also vital to the further development and positioning of Southern Limburg as an international knowledge region. Our explicit aim is to contribute to the growth of the Limburg economy in our role as an initiator, connector and platform.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”full-width venue-slider organize-vanue city-vanueslid”][vc_column el_class=”same-height-img”]
