Om Gunnerusprisen
Hedrer fremragende forskning
Gunnerusprisen i bærekraft var en internasjonal forskningspris på 1 million norske kroner. Prisen ble etablert av Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskab (DKNVS) og ble delt ut for første gang i 2012. Fra 2017 delte DKNVS og NTNU ut prisen sammen annethvert år.
Gunnerusprisen hedret fremragende vitenskapelig arbeid for bærekraftig utvikling globalt, og hadde som mål å fremme forskning og styrke det vitenskapelige grunnlaget for bærekraft.
Vinnere av Gunnerusprisen i bærekraft er biologen Kamal Bawa (2012), miljøforskeren Carl Folke (2017), økologiprofessor Sandra M. Díaz (2019) og økologiprofessor og naturverner Jianguo Liu (2021).
The conferring institutions and Johan Ernst Gunnerus
The international Gunnerus Sustainability Science Award was a collaboration between the Royal Norwegian Society of Sciences and Letters (DKNVS), Norway’s oldest scientific institution and the original founder of the prize, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway’s largest university. The prize was awarded every two years.
The founding father of DKNVS was bishop Johan Ernst Gunnerus (1718-1773) who became Norway’s first internationally acclaimed naturalist. His legacy is still very much felt in Norway and Trondheim today, the city from which he led the Society. Thus, the Award is named in his honor, as the Gunnerus Award in Sustainability Science.
