AIMS General

About AIMS

We are Amnesty International Maastricht Students (AIMS), a studentgroup of the worldwide organization Amnesty International.

AIMS is the most active student organization in the field of political and societal engagement at the University Maastricht. And it is certainly the perfect venue to realize all kind of diverse ideas and initiatives while raising awareness about human rights. You can meet like-minded, committed people, give and get inspiration, and connect the organization of social events with content that makes sense.
