The Swedish Society for Marine Sciences (SHF) manages and appoints an annual winner of the Dyrssen Prize. The prize is SEK 10 000 and is presented to the author of the best M.Sc.thesis in the marine field. The award was initiated by the SHF in honor of David Dyrssen, emeritus professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Gothenburg. As one of the founding members of the Swedish Society for Marine Sciences, he spent his career being an active proponent for the promotion of trans-disciplinary research for the marine sciences.
How to apply
Nominations for the Dyrssen Prize are submitted by the authors themselves. This is done by sending a copy of the thesis as a PDF file to the Deputy Chairman of SHF, along with your name, address, e-mail address, department and supervisor of the thesis. This degree must be completed within a marine science discipline and be affiliated to a university in Sweden. Entries will be accepted continuously. The prize is awarded in connection with the Marine Science Conference each fall and only theses that have been approved between July 1 of the previous year and June 30 of that year, will be considered.
