Lisa Brüggen appointed at Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities

The Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (KHMW) has appointed Netspar director Lisa Brüggen as a scientific member.

In addition to her position at Netspar, Prof. Lisa Brüggen serves, among other things, as Professor of Financial Services at Maastricht University. 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 KHMW,” 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 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 Sciences and Humanities 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.
