van Leeuwenhoek Award
The KNVM/NVMM science committee offers the Van Leeuwenhoek Awards to young post-docs in microbiology (<5 years after obtaining a PhD degree) for the best publication as first, last and/or corresponding author published in the past year. The Van Leeuwenhoek Awards are established to commemorate Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, known for his pioneering work in microscopy, who was the first to observe microorganisms and therefore became the ‘father of microbiology’. The prizes are annually awarded at the KNVM/NVMM Scientific Spring Meeting. The Jury consists of members of the KNVM/NVMM science committee.
