Afgelopen zomer heeft de NWO/NWO-I Employee Resource Group (ERG) Neurodiversity een badge design competitie georganiseerd met het thema 'Hoe voelt mijn brein vandaag?'. Ze hebben hele mooie en doordachte ontwerpen ontvangen uit vrijwel alle hoeken van NWO-D, de NWO instituten en het NWO-I hoofdkantoor. In totaal werden bijna tachtig ontwerpen ingestuurd, waaronder een hoop van ASTRON/JIVE/NOVA medewerkers die hoge ogen gooiden qua design. Hiervan zijn nu badges gemaakt en van de winnende inzending is ook een sticker gemaakt! Stuur ons een email en claim je badge, als jij een van deze ontwerpen hebt gemaakt.
