The Holland Society Awards for Young Talent are awarded annually to promote scientific education in engineering and science subjects. KIVI Informatics wholeheartedly supports this initiative. As a department, we naturally try to keep in touch with the young and upcoming engineers. For inspiration, and perhaps as a run-up to next year 2023, if you know upcoming talents or if they are in your network of contacts, we would of course welcome it if you point them to the upcoming award ceremony of the KHMW Young Talent Prizes on Monday 28 November next.

The awards will be presented in two sessions. The livestream can be followed by all interested parties. You can find the programme on the livestream page. The presentation of the KNVI/KIVI prize will take place in session 2 (15:50-17:20).
