Each lecture will be linked to current events and there will be special attention for the background of the audience including the region, making his story relevant and recognizable for the audience.

For years Simon Vuijk has been among the most passionate and analytical crime journalists in the Netherlands. His strength lies in unraveling complex cases and exposing the interaction between media, investigation and public. He tells candidly about his collaboration and friendship with Peter R. de Vries and about the joint investigations in which stalled murder cases still got moving. These personal stories form the backbone of his lecture and make the impact palpable and human.

Simon explicitly connects his story to current media coverage and the larger, 'historical' developments within investigation and journalism. Where relevant, he also involves cases from the region where he gives the lecture, so that the audience not only listens, but immediately identifies with the themes being discussed.

During his lectures, Simon takes the audience into the world of crime reporting, investigation and truth-telling. He talks candidly about his collaboration and friendship with Peter R. de Vries, about their joint investigations and about the special moments when seemingly unsolvable cases were broken. The way he makes complex matters understandable makes for a fascinating, sometimes confrontational but always inspiring experience. Simon promises a lecture with a message: unique cooperation based on knowledge, experience and trust can lead to unique results with great personal and social significance.

His lecture offers a combination of:
personal stories behind well-known cases
insights into the relationship between media, investigation and the public
the role of investigative journalism in finding the truth
moral dilemmas, human emotions and professional integrity
interaction, reflection and room for questions

Whether it is a conference, a police or security day, a corporate event, educational institution or a public program: Simon knows how to hit the right tone everywhere.
