GW Law’s Professor Christopher Yukins addressed the Dutch Association for Procurement Law (Nederlandse Vereniging voor Aanbestedingsrecht) in Ede, the Netherlands, on November 20, 2025 (slides) on procurement for innovation on both sides of the Atlantic (photo at right). The association was established in 1995 and celebrated its lustrum (30 years) at the conference. The association has 750 members who work as public officials, in law firms, in the academy, in the courts, in consultancies and across the private sector; the Dutch association is, in many ways, remarkably similar to the ABA’s Public Contract Law Section.
Professors Willem Janssen (University of Utrecht) and Sarah Schoenmaekers (Maastricht University & Hasselt University) (pictured at left) kindly hosted Chris Yukins. Professor Schoenmaekers will be joining GW Law’s December 3-5, 2025 symposia on procurement for innovation.
