More information

With the aim of better aligning the Beijerinck Premium with the needs in the field and current developments in the academic landscape, from 2025 onwards it will be designated for two early-career researchers contributing to virology research in the broadest sense of the word.

The KNAW aims to announce which two researchers will be awarded a Beijerinck Premium early February 2025.

The Premium is made available from the M.W. Beijerinck-Virology Fund, administered by Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
