The Letten Foundation and the Young Academy of Norway have joined forces to establish the 2 million NOK Letten Prize for young researchers.
Research is paramount for solving global challenges. Yet the role of research and the researchers behind changemaking discoveries often remain hidden. Celebrating young researchers’ commitment towards solving global human development challenges, the Letten Prize aims to change this.
The Letten Prize of 2 million NOK (ca. 215 000 EUR/260 000 USD) will be awarded every other year to a young researcher under the age of 45 who conducts research aimed at solving global challenges within the fields of health, development, environment and equality in aspects of human life.

- conducts research aimed at solving global challenges within the fields of health, development, environment and equality in all aspects of human life
