Vice-Chancellor Mårten Carlsson’s Award
Last changed: 16 November 2022
In 1995, SLU instituted Vice-Chancellor Mårten Carlsson’s Award as a homage to Professor Mårten Carlsson and his work as vice-chancellor of SLU 1982-1994.
The award “rewards excellent efforts that have promoted dialogue between society, business and SLU”.
The award is given to people working at and outside SLU. For an SLU employee to receive the award, they must have contributed efforts outside their ordinary duties. The prize money of SEK 50,000 is awarded every other year in connection with the doctoral degree award ceremony in autumn.
Nominations
All employees at SLU can nominate candidates. A nomination consists of both a presentation of the person proposed, and a motivation for the proposal. Feel free to supplement with a CV and, if applicable, a publication list.
Next award ceremony is planned for 2024, more information will follow in the beginning of that year.
