Björkénska priset

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 (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
