Short description: Scientific award given by Uppsala University
Björkénska priset is a scientific award given by Uppsala University. It is awarded for outstanding research in science and the theoretical branches of medicine. The prize was established in 1893 from a donation given by university lecturer John Björkén (sv) (1833–1893). Björkén was a physician and medical assistant professor in surgery and obstetrics at Uppsala. The prize was first awarded in 1902 on the day of his death.[1][2][3]
The Björkén Prize is alternately awarded for achievement in four different fields:
- Botany, zoology, and landscape planning
- Chemistry, mineralogy, metallurgy, and geology
- Physics, mechanics, and engineering science
- Theoretical disciplines of medical sciences
