Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards
In this competition, PhD candidates in paediatric oncology compete for the Tom Voûte Young Investigator Awards. PhD candidates can send in their research results (according to a specific format) and selected candidates will be asked to present their research for fellow researchers and an expert jury.
The application deadline has past, and eight very talented PhD students have been selected by an expert jury: Chris Meulenbroeks, Francis Wens, Jessica Beamish, Jikke Wams, Koen Krommenhoek, Leron Kok, Miguel Vieira Martins and Noa Wijnen. They will present their research to fellow researchers in October.
At the Awards day the jury will select two winners, who will both receive € 2.500 to spend on research or personal development.
