Best wishes from the N.W. Posthumus Institute staff!
 
 
This year has been an intense year for many students, researchers, teachers, support staff employees and many others involved in academia due to the worldwide effects of the COVID-pandemic. The effects also affected the Posthumus programme, forcing us to have most of the regular events in an adapted setting. The staff of the N.W. Posthumus Institute wants to express its gratitude to all involved for their efforts and wishes all of you very good and healthy Holidays and all the best for 2022.

Jessica Dijkman, Scientific Director
Rogier van Kooten, Education Programme Director
René van Weeren, Office Manager

Please note: the Secretariat of the N.W. Posthumus Institute will be closed from 22 December 2021 until 4 January 2022
