FFU Board member Corné Pieterse joins the RHSSH
Oldest 'Learned Society' in The Netherlands
Five Professors at Utrecht University and one at UMC Utrecht have been appointed as new members of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (RHSSH, in Dutch KHMW). As members, together with about 550 other scientists, they are responsible for organising scientific activities that reduce the distance between citizens and science.
The RHSSH is the oldest 'Learned Society' in The Netherlands. Since 1752, the society has been promoting science by building a bridge between science and society. Every year, new members are appointed in February. This year, Antal van den Bosch, Maarten Kleinhans, Albert Meijer, Corné Pieterse, Wendy Schrama and Jim van Os join.
