The expertise centre ITEM operates as pivot for research, counselling, knowledge exchange, and training activities relating to cross-border mobility and cooperation. In an increasingly globalised economy and internationalised society, knowledge support is essential for building a transfrontier labour market and tackling diverse challenges such as demographic change and skills shortages. ITEM is an interdisciplinary institute which was initiated by Maastricht University (UM) in cooperation with Zuyd Hogeschool, NEIMED, the (Dutch) province of Limburg, the city of Maastricht and the Meuse-Rhine Euregion.
