Proposals for recipients of the Oscar Prize
The departments are invited to propose suitable and well-deserving candidates for the Oscar Prize 2024.
The Oscar Prize is awarded "young scientists at Uppsala University, whose scientific writing is the most deserving and offers the greatest promise of continued academic writings at the University".
"Young scientist" means primarily a person who defended their thesis less than six years before the deadline of the nomination (deducting potential parental leaves etc), and the prize should be awarded for publications produced after receiving the PhD degree. If there are two equally deserving candidates, the award sum should be diveded egually between them. The University's aim for gender equality should be considered.
The University Board selects the recipient of the prize based on suggestions from a committee consisting of the faculty deans, chaired by the Dean of the Faclty of Law.
A signed proposal, including justification and with an attached CV for the proposed candidate, should be submitted by e-mail to Stipendiekansliet, stipendier@uu.se, no later than Wednesday 2024-03-13.
