Questions like these affect us all. Together, we will find the answers. At Maastricht University, we work with students, lecturers, researchers, regional companies, and other educational institutions to tackle both the big and small questions of our time. Discover how others are making a difference.
How can we be happier?
We all want to be happy, but figuring out how to get there is different for everyone. Happiness is a mix of genes, chemistry, and environment. The better we understand how these factors work together, the greater the chance we can lead happier lives.
At Maastricht University, we unravel the secrets of our brain, from the influence of LSD to the impacts of a pandemic. We also focus our efforts on the mental well-being of our students. In addition to research, we develop tools to help students better cope with loneliness and stress.
Explore our current research and education on mental health and discover how you can contribute to finding tomorrow's answers.
