The INKOM Introduction week is organized to make your child feel at home in this new city. The INKOM is the primary introduction week for all freshmen starting their studies at Maastricht University or Zuyd Hogeschool. During one week, 21st until 25th of August, participants get to know the city and the Maastricht student life. The INKOM is organised by a group of five students who are busy with the organisation for an entire year.

The INKOM participants, about 3.500 in total, are being divided into different groups of about 10-15 people and will be guided by two senior students, called mentors. These mentors will get obligatory instructions before the INKOM to be perfectly prepared to guide a group of freshmen through the city during the INKOM. Next to these mentors, the organisation works together with a lot of volunteers and the local government, the police, and the fire brigade to make sure that everything happens in the safest way possible. The main goal of the INKOM is to give all freshmen a perfect picture of a student's daily life in Maastricht through many cultural, sportive, festive and social activities and parties.

In all, participating in the INKOM is the perfect way for new students to get to know exactly what Maastricht has to offer!
