J.C. Baak Prijzen

The J.C. Baak Prijzen are biennial thesis prizes awarded by the Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der Wetenschappen for master's theses relevant to the peaceful coexistence of different peoples. Two prizes are awarded: a first prize and a second prize. The prizes target research across fields such as philosophy, international relations, political science, law and sociology.

Monetary prizes: 1st prize €3,000 and 2nd prize €1,000 (since 2025).

The 2027 prizes are intended for students who graduated in the academic year 2024/2025 or 2025/2026 from a master's programme at a Dutch institution for scientific higher education.

Nominations must be submitted by the deadline via the nomination form on the KHMW prize page.
