Nicolaas Mulerius Foundation dissertation prize

The Nicolaas Mulerius Foundation dissertation prize, the successor to the Wierenga-Rengerink dissertation prize, is awarded to the PhD candidate who has written the best UG dissertation in the previous year of the award ceremony. Each faculty nominates a maximum of one candidate. The final winner is selected from this group by the jury, which consists of the current rector magnificus and a number of former rectors magnifici. Only exceptionally good dissertations are eligible (at least cum laude).

The prize is awarded annually during the Ceremony of Merits. The Nicolaas Mulerius Foundation makes the prize money available. The winner will receive €10,000 for further academic development, for example for participation in symposia abroad.
