@ease has a chance to win Appeltje van Oranje 2021
Maastricht University is proud that @ease is one of the candidates for an Apple of Orange this year! The theme of the Apples of Orange this year is Mental Strength. That means that this year's prizes go to projects that are committed to people who are not having an easy time mentally. Through @ease, Maastricht scientists Therese van Amelsvoort en Sophie Leijdesdorff are conducting research into how best to help young people with psychological complaints. There are only three Apples of Orange availabel. The project that received the most votes has a chance of a place in the final. A jury ultimately chooses the three winners. The prizes are presented by Queen Máxima. The three winners will receive a bronze statuette, made by Princess Beatrix, and a cash prize of 15,000 euros.
