On June 24, 2025, Thijs de Groot defended his research proposal before a jury of HRSMC staff members and a member of the HRSMC's external advisory committee.

The research proposal is an obligatory part of the HRSMC Class of Excellence, a programme for excellent chemistry master students. The jury was highly impressed by his presentation and the discussion that followed, and therefore decided to award him the HRSMC Class of Excellence Pitch Prize.

The prize consists of a certificate and € 1500,- (for a contribution) to attend a conference or a course/training or € 450,- free to spend.
