UM Academy for Lifelong Development, established in 2024, is an important initiative of Maastricht University (UM) that supports professionals in their post-academic learning and development journeys. As part of UM Academy, UMIO, along with other educational institutes of Maastricht University, offers flexible and customised training solutions that address the needs of the labour market and societal challenges.
In addition, the UM Academy plays an active role in strengthening the regional economy and society. It does so by collaborating with businesses, public authorities, and civil society organisations in South Limburg and the Euregion. In this way, the academy helps retain talent in the region and boosts its innovative capacity.
By bringing together UMIO and other institutions of Maastricht University on this platform, we can collectively contribute to the development of the knowledge and skills essential for the future. This strengthens Maastricht University as an even more powerful partner in developing talent and supporting professionals in their career development.
