Young Talent Prizes for students AS
Every year in November the KHMW, the oldest "learned society" in the Netherlands, awards the Young Talent Prizes. Students of technical and exact study programmes are awarded various graduation and encouragement prizes. Read on for an overview of the winners of Applied Sciences for this year.
Four first-year TNW students have received a Young Talent encouragement prize of 500 euros, for the best study results in their field in the first year of study. These are the winners:
Marta Pita Vidal, who was previously elected Best Graduate of Applied Sciences, deserves a special mention. She has won one of the three Shell Graduation Prizes for Physics (and thus 5,000 euros) for her thesis 'Development of nanowire-based fluxonium devices'. The jury was "very impressed by Vidal's qualities and promise, the quality of her research report and the deep insight she shows in the complex matter, and considered her a very worthy recipient of the Shell Graduation Prize for Physics", according to the jury report.
