Last year, there were nine WUR researchers on the list, but the top-scoring microbiologist Willem de Vos was missing because he operates on the cutting edge of several different disciplines. Now an additional category has been added – cross-field researchers – and this has panned out well for WUR. Seven of the 19 top Wageningen scientists come under this new category.
