Description

We hereby invite you to the 12th edition of the KIVI NIRIA Telecommunications Prize, organised by the Telecommunications Division of KIVI NIRIA. This annual prize was first awarded in 2000. The prize aims to promote university telecommunications research in the Netherlands.

Each TU has nominated a candidate, a PhD student, and on the basis of criteria such as innovativeness, applicability and importance for telecommunications, the PhD work and its presentation are judged by a jury. You are hereby cordially invited to attend. You will see that, despite the decline of the telecommunications industry in the Netherlands, telecommunications research is still alive and kicking and also has unexpected angles for you.

During the jury deliberation, roundtable discussions on a variety of telecom topics have been organised, under the working title "Innovation in Business" with guidance from our partner TMA and their members. The closing drinks are, how could it be otherwise, dedicated to networking
