General introduction NUTRIM is a graduate school within Maastricht University Medical Centre+ (MUMC+) and member of the national graduate school VLAG. Maastricht University was founded in 1976 and is the youngest university of the Netherlands. Maastricht University (UM), the most international university in the Netherlands, is characterized by its multidisciplinary and thematic approach to research and learning. Maastricht University is the best performing young university in Europe (under 50 years old). In the third edition of the QS ‘Top 50 Under 50’ ranking (2014), Maastricht University climbed from 7th place to 6th . In the Times Higher Education 100 under 50 ranking, UM has maintained a sixth place for 3 consecutive years (2013, 2014 and 2015). The Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences (FHML) is the largest faculty of Maastricht University. The FHML officially exists as of January 1st 2007 after a merger of the former faculties of Health Sciences and Medicine. The main reasons for this merger were a new vision of health and health care, and the creation of an excellent partner for strategic educational and research alliances. In 2008 the FHML merged with the Academic Hospital into the Maastricht University Medical Centre, the Maastricht UMC+. It is a centre for integrated research and education that covers the entire spectrum of the molecular life sciences, the health sciences (including public health and primary care) and medicine. The ‘+’ added to the name is an expression of this broad and integrated vision. The dean of the faculty is also vice-chair of the board of Maastricht UMC+. Through a combination of biomedical, (clinical) applied, public health and primary care research, concentrated in six graduate schools, the FHML aims to strengthen the research and increase knowledge transfer by incorporation and implementation of the ‘integrated care concept’ within Maastricht UMC+. In the Times Higher Education World University Ranking for clinical, pre-clinical & health 2014-2015, Maastricht Universities’ FHML ranks among the Top 50 in the last three years (49th place in 2012-2013, 43th place in 2013-2014 and 45th place in 2014-2015). In the graduate schools masters’ students, PhD students and researchers work together. In addition to research the schools are responsible for training PhD students and providing masters-level education coordinated by the educational institute. The six research schools are NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, CARIM School for Cardiovascular Diseases, MHeNS School for Mental Health and Neurosciences, GROW School for Oncology and Developmental Biology, CAPHRI School for Public Health and Primary Care and SHE School of Health Professions Education. Figure 1: Academic Profile of Maastricht UMC+ 2015-2020 External Peer Review 2015, Self-assessment report 5 University: Maastricht University Institute: NUTRIM School of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism Director: Prof. Annemie Schols One of the most important goals of Maastricht UMC+ is the linkage between successful research themes and academic patient care. Until 2014 this linkage took place within four so called chains for care, education/training and research (ZKO’s), and NUTRIM’s research and educational activities merged with clinical activities into the ZKO ‘Chronic Diseases’. However, in the most recent Maastricht UMC+ strategic planning document for 2015-2020 NUTRIM succeeded to position “metabolism and nutrition” as an “innovation platform” within Maastricht UMC+ making it possible to contribute to the academic position of four established disease oriented profiles (cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, cancer, and neuro intervention) to strengthen the academic profile of the specialty “movement” and to link the disease oriented profiling of Maastricht UMC+ to a focus on “healthy living”. This unique position illustrates the distinct international profile of NUTRIM and also offers a platform to explore not only the origin and metabolic complexity of a particular disease in a systematic way, but simultaneously unravel relationships between apparently distinct (patho)phenotypes. 2. Objectives and research area 2.1 Vision, mission, and objectives Vision: NUTRIM strongly believes in connecting and integrating different disciplines to create truly new scientific insights and innovative health solutions for society. NUTRIM focuses on biomedical research to capitalize on its unique strengths but with a strong link to health promotion. It actively maintains a local, national and international network to contribute to the solution of global health concerns. In our vision an excellent educational infrastructure plus an innovative and challenging research environment are of crucial importance for the academic development of young researchers such that they can develop themselves by acquiring skills and expertise. Mission: NUTRIM promotes translational research into chronic metabolic and inflammatory disorders with a high societal burden that will contribute to personalized lifestyle and medicine approaches. In its PhD programme NUTRIM aims to meet the demand for scientists who are acquainted with novel fundamental research concepts and are equipped to optimize the translation from science to the clinic and to public health. Objectives: The mission is implemented by the following objectives: - To enable and manage an excellent research programme that encompasses the entire spectrum of basic, translational, clinical, and prevention projects providing NUTRIM with a distinct international health sciences profile that optimally fits within the Maastricht UMC+ care vision and organization. - Availability of unique patient cohorts and biobank as well as an internationally distinct, state of the art infrastructure for metabolic phenotyping allowing a network-based approach linking tissue and organ systems within chronic metabolic disorders. - To mentor scientists at different stages of their academic career. - To facilitate the sharing of knowledge and

  • The Fellowship of Geometry and Quantum Theory
    THE FELLOWSHIP OF GEOMETRY AND QUANTUM THEORY GENOOTSCHAP VOOR MEETKUNDE EN KWANTUMTHEORIE Summary As a striking example of the cross-fertilization between mathematics and other fields, quantum theory has recently emerged as a unifying theme in the modern development of geometry. Ideas from quantum mechanics, quan- tum field theory, and string theory have transformed algebraic and symplectic geometry, and even inspired the creation of a new branch of mathematics (viz. noncommutative geometry). At the same time, progress in funda- mental physics increasingly hinges on deep mathematical ideas. The primary aim of this proposal is to make The Netherlands a major player in this development. Our group, based at the Universities of Amsterdam, Nijmegen, and Utrecht (the latter acting as the cluster center or ‘hub’), plans to achieve this through the creation of a long-term educational infrastructure, combined with a new large-scale research program in mathematics. The former will nurture a generation of students who are, so to speak, bilingual in relevant areas of both pure mathematics and fundamental physics. This involves 1. Dual Bachelor degree programs in mathematics and physics (3 years); 2. Master programs in mathematical physics (2 years); 3. Specialized Master Classes on key cluster themes (1 year); 4. A PhD program in geometry and quantum theory (4 years). Our research plans revolve around areas such as: • Poisson geometry, quantization, and noncommutative geometry; • Integrable systems, Frobenius manifolds, and the geometric Langlands program; • Moduli spaces, mirror symmetry, and topological strings. The scale and intensity of this proposal seem unprecedented in Dutch mathematics, yet a number of local circum- stances appear to make our initiative timely and feasible.

  • National Agenda for Quantum Technology National Agenda for Quantum Technology
    NATIONAL AGENDA FOR QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY NATIONAL AGENDA FOR QUANTUM TECHNOLOGY September 2019 Foreword My name is Robbert Dijkgraaf. I'm a big fan of both science and the Netherlands, which this National Agenda for Quantum Technology brings together in an exciting way. I often say that the future is already here: it's in our labs and in the heads of our scientists and engineers. And quantum technology is a key part of that future. As well as providing the basis for developing fantastic new devices and industries, quantum technology can enable us to resolve the big problems facing our society, such as climate change, health care and security. All over the world people are investing in quantum technology, but here in the Netherlands we're privileged to host a number of fantastic initiatives. Outstanding, world-leading research institutes such as QuTech in Delft, QuSoft in Amsterdam and QT/e in Eindhoven, excellent research groups in Leiden, Nijmegen, Groningen, Twente and Utrecht, coordinating bodies such as TNO and StartupDelta, and a range of exciting industrial partnerships and startups. Now is the time for putting all those pieces together, for taking up the gauntlet and for investing in new talent, new researchers, new infrastructure and industry – in other words, in the entire ecosystem. This document sets the agenda for working on breakthroughs in research and innovation, on the development of new applications and 3 markets, on the competences required in fields such as systems engineering, and on the ethical, legal and social aspects of quantum technology. If we action that agenda, by 2030 we'll have a cool, exciting and new science, plus a new industry, and maybe new solutions for building a better world as well.
