Vernède thesis award – history of nursing or caregiving

Have you written a Bachelors or a Master’s thesis on the history of nursing or caregiving, or do you know someone who has? Then we would like to draw your attention to the Vernède Thesis Award. The winner will receive a cash prize of €1000. Students can submit their thesis until January 1, 2025. A panel of experts will evaluate the submissions, and the award ceremony will take place in May 2025.

Who is the award for?
The Vernède Thesis Award is intended for the best completed bachelor’s or master’s thesis in the field of the history of nursing or caregiving in the Netherlands or Flanders. The history of nursing and/or caregiving must be the main focus of your thesis, not merely a chapter within a broader topic, such as a medical subject.

Submissions must include your name, field of study, supervisor, university, and graduation date with your submission. A recommendation or endorsement from your lecturer or supervisor is required when submitting your thesis.
