Made2Measure showcases projects and research related to the creative industries by the staff and students of Maastricht University and the city of Maastricht.
Made2Measure started out as a Maastricht University research project commissioned by the municipality of Maastricht. The aim was to study the city’s creative industries and to learn more about the impact of the policies put in place by the government. Since then, Made2Measure has developed to showcase the projects and research related to the creative industries being done by the city of Maastricht as well as by staff and students of Maastricht University.
