Marcus Wallenberg Prize
The Marcus Wallenberg Prize was established in 1981 and is modeled on the Nobel Prize as the highest honor in forestry. It was instituted by Stora Kopparbergs Bergslags AB in 1980 to commemorate the services of industrialist Marcus Wallenberg Jr. Laureates are selected through nominations and review by an international committee of eminent forestry researchers. The award ceremony takes place at a symposium of lectures held in Stockholm. Recipients receive a monetary award of 2 million Swedish kronor along with the opportunity to present their work. The 2020 award ceremony was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
