Descartes-Huygensprijs

De Descartes-Huygensprijs is in 1995 ingesteld door de Franse en de Nederlandse regering om de Frans-Nederlandse wetenschappelijke samenwerking onder de aandacht te brengen bij onderzoekers en het bredere publiek. Elk jaar worden twee winnaars gekozen: Nederland selecteert de Franse winnaar en Frankrijk kiest de Nederlandse winnaar voor deze prijs. De prijs beoogt de wetenschappelijke carrière van een excellente onderzoeker op het gebied van Frans-Nederlands onderzoek te stimuleren.

De prijs bestaat uit een geldbedrag van 23.000 euro per winnaar. Dit bedrag kan worden besteed aan een onderzoeksverblijf of meerdere werkbezoeken van een Franse onderzoeker in/aan Nederland en omgekeerd. Daarnaast kunnen desgewenst andere activiteiten in het kader van de Frans-Nederlandse wetenschappelijke samenwerking worden uitgevoerd.

25 June 2021 | 14:30 -17:00
Reconnect with fellow ABC members and other Amsterdam based brain and cognition researchers virtually at this year's online ABC Networking Event.

After more than a year of little opportunity to connect with your co-workers and fellow ABC members, it is more important than ever to reconnect with each other. This is what we set out to do during this year’s ABC Networking Event. We stay true to our goal and once again look forward to bringing together the ABC researchers, as well as our fellow Amsterdam-based brain and cognition researchers from the NIN and Amsterdam Neuroscience communities, to foster old and new relationships and possibilities for (re)connections and collaboration.
