The Rudbeck Medal
Uppsala University’s Rudbeck Medal was first awarded in 2003. The medal was instituted by the University on 17 September 2002, on the occasion of the Tercentenary of the death of Olof Rudbeck the Elder.
It is awarded ‘for extraordinarily prominent achievements in science, to be conferred primarily for such accomplishments or findings attained at Uppsala University.’
Recipients of the medal are selected by the Vice-Chancellor in consultation with the leadership of the disciplinary domains.
The medal is awarded at the University’s anniversary celebration in October.
