The GUF-100 prizes are awarded!
During the annual summer ceremony, the best students of our university will be presented with a GUF-100 award. This tradition started in 1993 when, on the occasion of the centennial anniversary of the Groningen University Fund (GUF), the GUF-100 awards were introduced. The award consists of a certificate and €2500 prize money.
Each faculty can nominate three candidates, and the GUF jury will select a winner from these three nominees. A broad call is put out to encourage potential candidates to apply, or they can be nominated by lecturers or fellow students. From these applications, a faculty committee selects the three nominees. Excellent academic results are important for the nominees, but at the same time, and at least as important, the candidates must demonstrate that they show special personal or academic merits outside their degree programme.
During the Summer Ceremony on 3 July 2020 the GUF-100 Prizes were awarded. Curious who won?
