• KNAW: Descartes-Huygens Prize

  The French and Dutch governments established the Descartes-Huygens Prize in 1995 to draw the attention of the public and researchers to Franco-Dutch relations in science and scholarship.

  The prize is awarded on a rotating basis to researchers in the humanities and social sciences, the natural sciences, and the life sciences. By agreement, the Netherlands selects the French candidate for the prize, and France selects the Dutch candidate.

  Submission deadline: Monday 1 July 2013. For more information, see http://smartsite.knaw.nl/Pages/DEF/27/206.bGFuZz1FTkc.html.
