Maastricht University

aid: maastricht
name: Maastricht University
description: 'Maastricht University (UM) is an international research university in Maastricht, Netherlands, known for its
  Problem-Based Learning model and ranked #230 in the QS World University Rankings 2025. UM does not operate a unified public
  developer portal; its confirmed machine-readable footprint consists of standards-based research-infrastructure interfaces
  rather than a productized API program. The Pure (Elsevier) current research information system at cris.maastrichtuniversity.nl
  exposes a live OAI-PMH endpoint serving OpenAIRE CERIF metadata, research data is published through the shared DataverseNL
  platform (a Dataverse instance with a public REST API), and the Maastricht University Institute of Data Science maintains
  an active open-source GitHub organization. Identity is federated via Shibboleth/SAML.'
