Congratulations Tracy Craig! Placed on 11 June 2024

Tracy Craig has won the Brinksma Innovation Grant (BIG)!

This has been announced last Monday during the start of the Week of Education. The BIG is a price that is awarded every year to a staff member of the UT with an innovative educational concept. This year, our one and only Tracy Craig has won the BIG with her proposal called "Mathematics and Didactics Synthesis Creating teaching and learning resources for topics in mathematics for technical subjects". But this is just the start of the research that Tracy Craig will do with the new group in the department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Twente: Fundamental Educational Research in Mathematics at Twente (FERMAT)! 

So congratulations, Tracy! You deserve it!
