Maastricht, the netherlands

Maastricht is the ideal conference city in the heart of Europe. Quoting from Wikipedia: “The first permanent settlement was founded by the Celts about 500 BC. A Roman city was built around 0 AD, making Maastricht one of the oldest cities of the Netherlands”. The name Maastricht goes back to the Roman Empire name of the city “Mosa Trajectum”, meaning crossing of the Maas (Meuse) River.

With Belgium and Germany as its direct neighbours Maastricht is only a short trip away no matter which way to travel you use. With eight airports nearby, good international train connections and excellent highway system, the city is easily accessible. Maastricht has a state of the art conference and exhibition centre MECC, 5600 hotel rooms and, most important, the right community and experience to facilitate international conferences with outstanding personal service.

Why Maastricht:

  • The Netherlands’ most European city
  • Excellent accessibility
  • Internationally acknowledged institutes and scientists
  • Expertise in Health, Materials, Food & Nutrition and Smart Services
  • Fantastic conference facilities
  • Compact city with ideal possibilities for networking
  • Culinary capital with over 400 bars and restaurants
