Assistant Professor Dr Carlos Riumallo Herl has won the University Research Prize. He will receive the Prize during the festive ceremony of the Opening of the Academic Year 2019-2020, on Monday 2 September 2019.
The jury is impressed by the fact that Dr Riumallo Herl has obtained not one but two prestigious research grants. In 2018, he obtained a LEaDing Fellowship (COFUND) and earlier this year Carlos was awarded the EU Horizon2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship for his proposal ‘Disability, Labour, and Health’. The jury praises the great societal relevance and societal impact of his research, both in the Netherlands and beyond.
