NOMINATION TO THE HOLBERG INTERNATIONAL MEMORIAL PRIZE 2013
The Board of the Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund invites you to nominate
candidates to the Holberg International Memorial Prize 2013 for
outstanding work in the academic fields of the arts and humanities,
social science, law and theology. The prize for 2013 is NOK 4,5
million (approximately EUR 600,000/USD 790,000*), and was established
by the Norwegian Government in 2003.

Letters of nomination must be sent to us by 15 September 2012.


How to nominate?
Scholars holding a senior position at universities and other research
institutions within the above mentioned academic fields are entitled
to nominate candidates for the Holberg Prize. The Holberg Prize's
Academic Committee will base its assessment on the letters of
nomination which must state the reasons for the nomination (2 to 3
pages). Letters should also contain a brief CV for the candidate and
suggest referees who know the scholar and his/her work. Joint
nominations do not strengthen a candidacy. Nominations are strictly
confidential.
