Since May 2012, the ANS-Awards have been presented annually to students pursuing degree courses in Dutch, Flemish or European Studies principally at UK universities. The University of Maastricht has been a more recent participant.
Faculty members are required to submit essays and podcasts on relevant Dutch, Flemish, UK and European themes. These essays are reviewed by a panel of judges appointed by the Anglo-Netherlands Society, chaired by Caroline Trewhitt. Looking ahead, the ANS-Awards are intended to continue on an annual basis, provided they continue to fulfil their purpose for both the Anglo-Netherlands Society and the participating universities.
