Lisa Brüggen appointed at Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities
The Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (KHMW) has appointed SBE Professor Lisa Brüggen as a scientific member.
Lisa Brüggen is Professor of Financial Services at Maastricht University and the Director of Netspar, a knowledge network that brings together science and the pension, retirement, and insurance industry. She is also Extraordinary Professor at the Chair of Pension Communication and Decision Support, established and funded by Instituut Gak.
“I am honored to become a scientific member of the Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen,” Brüggen says about the appointment. “What appeals to me is the emphasis on the connection between science and society, a core aspect of my work at Maastricht University and of Netspar. I also appreciate the KHMW's commitment to young talent through science awards. It's honorable to contribute to that and promote science with social value.”
Bridge between science and society
The Royal Holland Society of Science or Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen, founded in 1752, is the oldest “Learned Society” in the Netherlands. It aims to promote science and build a bridge between science and society.
The Society has a two-tiered structure: on the one hand, representatives of society interested in science (society members) and on the other, a group of scientists (scientific members), who are responsible for scientific activities.
