In early 2013 we decided a change of pace was needed to keep up with the ever changing condition of young researchers within Dutch Universities.
This is reflected by the change of our 13 years old, and in our renovated mission. In 1988, several PhD candidates from Maastricht University decided to organize themselves in an association. Between the beginning of 2000 and 2013, this association went by the name of ProVUM (Promovendi Vereniging Universiteit Maastricht). Becoming the "Young Researchers Network - Maastricht", we have abandoned th

And here is a beautiful proof: The Beninatto-Trombetti test is a translation test for professional translators. It measures the ability to infer context, revise the surface form, and generalize beyond literal mapping. For example, the correct translation of...
