This year, the selection committee has chosen five winners from the thirty two nominations. A festive award ceremony was held at the Paushuize in Utrecht to honour the extraordinary achievement of this year’s winning researchers.

A maximum of five prizes of € 3,000 each are awarded to young academic researchers who have written a PhD dissertation of outstanding quality. The relevant faculties of the Dutch universities are asked to nominate candidates.
