The Board of the Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund invites you to nominate

How to nominate?
Scholars holding a senior position at universities and other research

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
