Entomologendag

Each year since 1989, the Netherlands Entomological Society (NEV in Dutch) organizes the Entomologendag. Usually every 3rd Friday in December, professional and amateur entomologists gather. In parallel sessions in total ca. 40 oral presentations are given, preceded by a plenary lecture held by an invited speaker. Posters are on display throughout the whole day. Three prizes are awarded: the NEV-Poster Price, the UES-MSc Thesisprize and the NEV-Dissertation Award. The winners of the latter two prizes will also present a lecture.

During coffee breaks, lunch and the closing reception there is ample opportunity to establish new contacts and to refresh old ones. The atmosphere is informal and friendly. The number of participants generally is about 150-200. As a rule, presentations are given in English.

NEV-Dissertation Award

Since 2008, each year the NEV offers a Dissertation Award of 1000 Euros (plus a certificate) for the best dissertation in the field of Entomology. The award is handed out on the Entomologendag.

Eligible for the award are dissertations that have been defended during the preceding academic year (1 August – 31 July) at one of the Dutch universities. The section’s board preselects a top-3 of best dissertations and forwards this to the society’s main board for the final verdict.
