Dr. Frank van Tubergen, winner of the Johannes Cornelis Ruigrok prize
Amongst all the prizes and stipends given out by the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (for example, the Akzo Nobel Science Award, the Dirk Jacob Veegens Prize), the Johannes Cornelis Ruigrok Prize is given out annually to young researchers who have obtained their PhD. in the last 5 years, and have proved that they are excellent in their research in the areas of law, economics, social sciences and humanities. The Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities was established in 1752 by seven distinguished burghers of the city of Haarlem, in the then Republic of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, in order “to promote science” (in the broadest sense, including the “arts”). It is the oldest learned society in the country today and is constituted as a dual body comprising approximately 250 “science promoters” (known as “directors”) and an equal number of active scholars (known as “members”).
Dr. Frank van Tubergen outshone his peers to win this year’s Johannes Cornelis Ruigrok Prize with his dissertation entitled ‘The Integration of Immigrants in Cross-National Perspective’. It is an achievement that warrant our warmest congratulations.
