The TU/e doubled this amount. The fund officially opened on Feb. 8, 2023. During a modest gathering two days before, Boris' and Axel's parents signed the agreements. They described the fund as a tribute to their sons. In their words: "We are happy that through this fund we can let Boris' and Axel's thoughts and optimism live on. They were two connecting boys who were positive in life and loved to share that optimism with others." An annual amount of up to € 10,000, - is available. A committee including family members of Boris and Axel, among others, evaluates the applications.</p> <p>Robert-Jan Smits, president of the TU/e Executive Board: "We are extremely grateful to the parents.
