In a period of rapid digitalisation, Maastricht University’s Brightlands Institute for Smart Society (BISS) connects UM’s scientific expertise in data science with societal needs. Located on the Brightlands Smart Services Campus in Heerlen, BISS was established in close collaboration with the Province of Limburg and APG pension fund.
BISS aims to empower people and organisations through the socially responsible application of digital technologies. We have a strong focus on enhancing effective data-driven innovation, research and professionals education and closely cooperate with all six Maastricht University faculties:
Open to cooperation with industry, SMEs, start-ups and public bodies, we harness scientific knowledge for socio-economic impact. The multidisciplinary activities are set up as projects, in partner agreements and programs, featuring innovation, collaboration, awareness, and solutions. BISS also offers graduate education programmes, as well as Executive Education and Continuing Professional Development courses.
BISS is governed by a management team consisting of a managing director and several principal investigators (PIs) who lead a group of researchers. The PIs are jointly responsible for development and implementation of the collaborative scientific strategy, direction, and content. BISS has an administrative, financial, and organisational support team. Key for the success of BISS are interactions with faculty, support staff and decision makers at UM. We also seek to build and nurture strong relations with other UM Institutes and Knowledge Institutions on all the Brightlands campuses, as well as with the three other Brightlands campus organisations.
