Dinner in Bonn.

On the occasion of the EMS 2022 conference in Bonn, Harry and Els, the HOP winner and finalists of the 2021 round, and current and former HOP board members met to enjoy a dinner next to the river Rhine. Due to the pandemic the prize in 2021 was announced and handed over in an online meeting, without further onsite celebrations. So it was time catch up and meet each other. The finalists reported on their progress on the further development of the idea they submitted to the Harry Otten Prize 2021. Moreover, this occasion was also the official farewell of Leo Kroon, who served for six years on the board, first as regular board member and later on as president for 3 years. The board thanks Leo for his efforts!

This is was also the moment to open the 2023 call for applications for the Harry Otten Prize.
