Since 2019 and every five years, CWI celebrates the granting of the Dijkstra Fellowships to honour scientists who have accomplished groundbreaking research in mathematics and computer science.
The Dijkstra Fellowships are named in honour of the eminent mathematician and computer scientist Edsger Dijkstra, who developed groundbreaking work at CWI, such as his shortest path algorithm.
The first Dijkstra Fellowships were awarded to David Chaum and Guido van Rossum (2019).
The next granting of the Dijkstra Fellowships will be in 2029.
