Three young researchers have been nominated for the Creatieve Geest Prize 2014. The prize will be awarded on 19 June by Freek de Jonge, founder of the prize.
The Creative Spirit Prize 2014 will be presented to a young academic with an original and exciting research proposal that centres around aspects of creativity and the workings of the human brain. The prize winner will be given the opportunity to develop a research plan with Amsterdam Brain & Cognition (ABC) and to distinguish him or herself as a promising researcher. The three nominees are Anouk van Loon, Dilène van Campen and Martijn Wokke.

The prize, an initiative of the Freek and Hella de Jonge Foundation, aims to draw further attention to research into creativity and its underlying cognitive processes, such as the perception of painters, the associative abilities of cabaret artists or the architectural design process.
