About the Instituut Gak-KNAW Award

The Instituut Gak-KNAW Award was established in 2019 by Instituut Gak and the Academy and is conferred annually. The award is made possible by Instituut Gak  (Dutch only), an equity fund that seeks to contribute to the quality of social security and labour market policy by offering financial support for socially relevant projects and research and by establishing (endowed) chairs and a research professorship.

 

The originality of the research proposal (or of its subject) is an explicit criteria.

The researcher must have received an embedding guarantee from the Academy host institute. The Academy Extension Arrangement applies in this case.
