The Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW) has announced the five winners of the Heineken Young Scientists Awards in 2014. The Award consist of € 10,000 and a work of art designed by Jeroen Henneman. The five exemplary young researchers will receive their prize on the second of October 2014, during a special meeting of the KNAW at the Beurs van Berlage Building in Amsterdam. The Heineken Prizes, which were announced earlier this month, will be presented there as well.

The Heineken Young Scientists Awards are intended to give talented young scientists and scholars extra encouragement. They are presented simultaneously with the Heineken Prizes to talented young researchers whose outstanding work sets an example for other young scientists and scholars.
