Successful Start for CWI's New Building

The building activities for the new wing of the Centrum voor Wiskunde en Informatica (CWI) formally started on November 20, 2007. Peter Nijkamp (chairman of the Governing Board of NWO), Cees de Visser (general director of NWO), Pieter Adriaans (chairman of the Governing Board of CWI) and Jan Karel Lenstra (general director of CWI) personally hammered the 'first pole' of the new wing into the ground, encouraged by more than 120 cheering visitors and a brass band.
