PhD student Hilde Verbeek receives Niels Stensen Stipendium
Hilde Verbeek is very excited that she has received a grant from the Niels Stensen Organization for her research into dementia care environments. This organization awards grants to young researchers (with a catholic background) who have special research qualities and who, in the future, are expected to take a prominent place in a Dutch academic institution. Verbeek will spend nine months doing research at the University of Manchester next year.
The Niels Stensen Stipendium is a grant for recently graduated or almost graduated PhD students. On average, the Niels Stensen Stichting awards 7 grants per year. “I’m very honored”, says a delighted Verbeek. “My research will focus on optimal organization of services for people with dementia, especially focusing on the balance of care continuum between living at home and admittance to an institution.” Verbeek works at the Department of Health Care and Nursing Science.
