The Crafoord Prize (Swedish : Crafoordpriset) is an annual science prize established in 1980 by Holger Crafoord, a Swedish industrialist, and his wife Anna-Greta Crafoord following a donation to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. [1] It is awarded jointly by the Academy and the Crafoord Foundation in Lund, with the former selecting the laureates. [2] The Prize is awarded in four categories: mathematics and astronomy, geosciences, biosciences (with an emphasis on ecology) and polyarthritis, [1] the final one because Holger suffered from severe rheumatoid arthritis in his later years. [3]

Contents

The disciplines for which the Crafoord Prize is awarded are chosen so as to complement the Nobel Prizes. [2] Only one award is given each year, according to a rotating scheme – astronomy and mathematics, then geosciences, then biosciences. [1] Since 2012, the prizes in astronomy and mathematics are separate and awarded at the same time; prior to this, the disciplines alternated every cycle. [2] A Crafoord Prize in polyarthritis is only awarded when a special committee decides that substantial progress in the field has been made. [2] The recipient of the Crafoord Prize is announced every year in mid-January and the prize is presented in April or May on "Crafoord Days", [1] by a member of the Monarchy of Sweden. As of 2024, the prize money is 6,000,000 kr (approx. US$560,000), roughly half that of the Nobel Prizes. [1]

The Prize is usually awarded to one recipient, but there can be as many as three. [2] The inaugural laureates, Vladimir Arnold and Louis Nirenberg, were awarded the prize in 1982 for their work in the field of non-linear differential equations. Since then, the winners of the Prize have predominantly been men. The first woman to be awarded the Prize was astronomer Andrea Ghez in 2012.
