About Peter Paul Peterich Fund

The Peter Paul Peterich Fund manages the legacy of Mr. Peter Paul Peterich – collector, poet and mecenas (1933-2000). Aside from the cultural sector in the Netherlands, especially the Dutch poetry, the foundation supports independent scientific education and research. The board of the Peter Paul Peterich Fund defines Mathematics as the most poetic of applied sciences. To provide financial support to a PhD candidate ‘with exquisite qualities’ in applied mathematics, is one of the primary ambitions of the Peter Paul Peterich Fund.
