About the EKP Award
The EKP Excellence in Research Award is an annual award of € 2,500 for the best graduate research at master level, sponsored by SDK Vastgoed. The award acknowledges students’ creative ability to progress novel ideas into stimulating works and accentuates the transformative potential of artists and designers in the world.
This year, external experts Lorenzo Gerbi and Gabirelle Kennedy nominated a student from Situated Design, Niekolaas Lekkerkerk and Irina Shapiro for Ecology Futures and Nikos Doulos and Bo Wang for Visual Arts and Post-Contemporary Practice.
