Fridtjof Nansen Prize for Outstanding Research

The Fridtjof Nansen Prize for Outstanding Research (Norwegian: Fridtjof Nansens belønning for fremragende forskning) is a Norwegian research award. It is conferred by the Nansen Trust and its associated trusts, and it was established in 1896 after the return of the Fram Expedition.[1]

The prize is awarded in two categories: a historical-philosophical award, first conferred in 1903, and a mathematical–natural science award, first conferred in 1907.[2] The prize is NOK 150,000.[3][4] Since 2003, recipients of the Fridtjof Nansen Prize for Outstanding Research have also been awarded the Nansen Medal for Outstanding Research.
