Fridtjof Nansen’s reward for outstanding research is awarded by the Nansen Fund and the associated funds at the Norwegian Academy of Sciences’s annual meeting in May. The reward can be awarded to Norwegian researchers, or researchers living in Norway, who have provided scientific contributions of international importance at a very high level.

Application deadline: 10 February.

Fridtjof Nansen’s reward for younger researchers

The reward, consisting of a sum of money (NOK 100,000) and a diploma, can be awarded to Norwegian researchers or researchers resident in Norway, who have not yet completed 40 years. Otherwise, the same rules apply as Fridtjof Nansen’s reward for outstanding research. The reward for younger researchers is awarded annually without a change between science and medicine and humanities and social studies.
