Last academic year, our colleague and Idocal member, Prof. Vicente González-Romá, was invited by the Dutch Research Council to participate in the pre-assessment phase of the Social Sciences and Humanities Open Competition M 2024 (Behavior & Education panel).

This program funds free, curiosity-driven research with a primary social and/or humanities research question. Prof. Vicente González-Romá evaluated nine research projects, whose overall level of quality and innovativeness was good. This bodes well for the future of the field in the Netherlands.
