Dyrssen Awards

The Swedish Society for Marine Sciences annually manages and awards the Dyrssen Award for the two best degree projects in marine sciences at master’s level. First prize is SEK 10 000 and second prize SEK 5 000. The award is instituted by SHF in honor of David Dyrssen (1922 – 2011), emeritus professor of analytical chemistry at the University of Gothenburg. As one of the founding members of the Society, he spent his career being an active proponent for the promotion of inter-disciplinary research in marine sciences. The award ceremony will take place on 27 November.
