Master’s student of Computer Science and former student council member Pravesha Ramsundersingh was awarded the Bèta Techniek Award. The award ceremony was held Thursday 28 November in Amsterdam. Ramsundersingh won the Bèta Techniek Award for organising a conference about social safety, which she did in collaboration with the National Coordinator against Discrimination and Racism. The initiative strives to improve safety in learning environments and raise awareness about discrimination and exclusion.

Pravesha convinced the jury with her balance in creating impact in both the short and long terms. By introducing a code of conduct and making training on diversity & inclusion mandatory for teaching assistants, she took clear steps in bringing about structural changes in improving inclusion in academic institutions.

The other award winners were Anas Kjidâa (Law & Tax Award), Orlando Ceder (Higher Professional Education Award), Zakaria Bousdar (Higher Professional Education Award) and Jumana Tuama (University Education Award).

The Echo Awards are awards for students working on issues around diversity & inclusion to have an impact on society. For this edition 36 candidates were put forward by academic institutions from around the country. The jury selected 15 finalists. The winners were announced on 28 November. The winners may take a summer course at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in the United States in 2025, for which the costs will be covered.
