Among them are actor Fedja van Huêt for his Golden Calf for Best Actor in De Ververdeling, World and Olympic champion BMX Niek Kimman, Stripschapprijs winner Henk van der Spoel and Spinoza Prize winners Nynke Dekker (professor of molecular biophysics) and our own MDR researcher Jan van Hest (professor of bio-organic chemistry).
