The whole SUNRISE team is immensely proud to have such outstanding students and co-workers in our ranks!
The Sigvard Eklund Prize has been established by SKC (Svenskt Kärntekniskt Centrum) to recognise and reward outstanding academic work by bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral students at Swedish universities. Once a year, supervisors and teachers can nominate one or more theses to be considered as the best of its academic level of the year. An independent jury considers the motivation for nomination, the scientific merit and the overall quality of all submitted theses in deciding whom to award.
