KNAW: Academy Merian Prize

The Academy Merian Prize was established to draw attention to female researchers and to encourage more women in the Netherlands to pursue careers in science and scholarship. The prize is made possible by the SNS REAAL Fund.

Established in 2009, the Academy Merian Prize is awarded to a woman who will inspire others to embark on a career in science or scholarship. The biennial prize is conferred on an outstanding female researcher working alternately in the social sciences or humanities (2009) and in science (2011).

The deadline for submitting nominations is 15 May 2013. For more information, see http://www.knaw.nl/smartsite.dws?lang=ENG&id=27218
