Research projects

UNU-MERIT is a new research and training centre that incorporates the activities of two Maastricht-based institutes: United Nations University Institute for New Technologies (UNU-INTECH) and Maastricht Economic Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (MERIT, at the University of Maastricht). Therefore all projects completed before 2006 retain the original names of the integrated institutes.
