On 28 October the four recent Vidi laureates, Iris Groen (Video & Image Sense Lab), Sara Magliacane (The Amsterdam Machine Learning Lab), Pascal Mettes (Video & Image Sense Lab), and Vítor Vasconcelos (Computational Science Lab) were celebrated during the Coffee and Cake. Their group leaders held a short speech in which their accomplishments and their perseverance were highlighted.

Cees Snoek: ‘A Vidi requires hard work, good science, and also a bit of luck. But there is another factor that is crucial to get there and that is perseverance. Believing in yourself, fighting for yourself and seeing when the opportunity is yours, that is how you get a Vidi.’

After a joint cake cutting, everybody enjoyed the celebratory cake and a chat with the laureates.

Congratulations to Iris, Sara, Pascal and Vitor!
