Really enjoyed hosting Maastricht’s President and Rector, Profs. Letschert and Habibović in York last week. It was great to discuss our collaboration and explore new opportunities in lots of areas – including bioeconomy, robotics, immersive tech, and others. Looking forward to seeing these develop!
