UM Rector Magnificus Pamela Habibović welcomes the speakers, dignitaries and attendees to the opening of UM's 48th Dies Natalis. This year’s theme: ‘Talent unlimited: the labour we need, the potential we can’t waste’. Live-stream: tinyurl.com/yphwso2h #DiesNatalisUM #UM48

Pamela Habibović: "You can make a very idealistic case for openness and international collaboration, for inclusion and a diverse workforce. But today, I want to restrict myself to being pragmatic, to finding effective solutions to real problems." #DiesNatalisUM #UM48

"There is also a mismatch between the qualifications in demand and the ones present in the workforce. All of these factors affect ‘krimpregios’, which is to say shrinking and over-aging regions such as Limburg, much more acutely." tinyurl.com/yphwso2h #DiesNatalisUM #UM48

Keynote Speaker Robert Dur: "To keep our high standards of living and address the major societal challenges we’re facing, we need to [...] make work more meaningful. The returns in terms of workers’ motivation and hence productivity can be spectacular." #DiesNatalisUM #UM48

Robert Dur: "Labor market discrimination is highly persistent. In the past 50 years, little progress has been made to reduce discrimination. In The Netherlands it even increased. [...] This reduces productivity." #DiesNatalisUM #UM48

Robert Dur: "Reducing misperceptions among adolescents and their parents about the labor markets prospects of different education programmes has the potential to reduce critical labor shortages and increase well-being." Live-stream: tinyurl.com/yphwso2h #DiesNalatisUM #UM48

Robert Dur: "Companies, public sector organizations, and academics should collaborate much more often to design and rigorously test ways to make work better, to improve education choices, and to fight discrimination." Follow live: tinyurl.com/yphwso2h #DiesNatalisUM #UM48
