Netherlands Centre for Coastal Research
Suzanne Hulscher has been awarded the Simon Stevin Mastery 2016 by the Dutch Technology Foundation STW.
The Simon Stevin Mastery (Simon Stevin Meesterschap) concerns an exceptional title of respect awarded only to outstanding technical-scientists. Among others prof. dr. Suzanne Hulscher receives this honor for outstanding innovative work in the areas of river-systems and coastal seas.
This most prominent award for technical research will be delivered to our NCK member at the STW annual congress on 24 November. The prestigious title comes with a 500.000 Euro research grant and a work of art.
It is a pleasure to announce that TNO Geological Survey of the Netherlands has joined NCK since 1 July 2016. TNO was part of NCK in the past, but when TNO merged with Deltares in 2008 no separate TNO membership was established. We warmly welcome them in our NCK network and look forward to a fruitful cooperation!
