Many thanks to all students, supervisors and examiners for the nominations for this year's Dyrssen Award! The assessment is based on four main criteria: value of interest, level of knowledge, execution and presentation. A total of 16 nominated theses were reviewed by the board, two honorary chairs, and two former board members. The prizes are awarded in connection with the SHF annual meeting during the Marine Research Days 26-28 November in Kalmar.
