Research Prize for Matteo Bonelli

Last week we received the wonderful news that Matteo Bonelli has been awarded one of the five Research Prizes from the Praemium Erasmianum Foundation for his PhD dissertation titled ‘A Union of Values; Safeguarding Democracy, the Rule of Law and Human Rights in the EU Member States’.

Since 1988, the Praemium Erasmianum Foundation has awarded up to five Research Prizes each year to young researchers in the humanities and social sciences who have defended PhD dissertations of particularly high quality at a Dutch university.
