Maastricht, the Netherlands, forms a unique environment for studying psychology and neuroscience. Maastricht University (UM) specializes in cognitive and biological psychology; its unique research infrastructure enables a groundbreaking study of the brain and behavior. It is home to a European Centre of Excellence that combines state-of-the-art technology (three MRI scanners of 9.4, 7, and 3 Tesla) with clinical know-how, access to patients, and expert post-acquisition processing of data. During this program, students compare scientific research methods in the Netherlands to those of their home country. They also follow courses and seminars taught by leading experts and gain insight into the latest topics in psychology and research in a European setting. The program starts with a two-week introduction, which includes CES services, the Berlin Study Trip, a tour of Maastricht and the surrounding area, UM orientation, a Problem-Based Learning (PBL) workshop, and integration into Dutch student life.

This three-week program explores the web of relationships between people and places. As a philosophy and practice, placemaking is concerned with improving urban spaces by including its users in the transition for change. Through a bottom-up planning process, it intends to give the right to the city back to its inhabitants. This innovative course borrows from human geography, experimental and environmental psychology, history, and sociology, problematizing the urban environments in which we live. Course topics include public space, community, diversity, and 'the right to the city.' Experiencing Amsterdam is at the heart of this program. It presents exciting alternative ways to understand how people live in, respond to, and imagine their cities. Urban spaces can be imagined as territories of negotiation. Sensory experiences often inspire a strong sense of belonging and might, therefore, play an important role in the co-creation of space. In the afternoon, we will use Amsterdam as our living laboratory, exploring placemaking practices at various locations.
