Crafoord Prize

The Crafoord Prize was established by Holger Crafoord, the inventor of the artificial kidney and his wife Anna-Greta Crafoord in 1980. Administered by the the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the aim of the prize is to promote basic research in mathematics, geoscience, bioscience (particularly in relation to ecology and evolution), astronomy, and polyarthritis .

Only one award is given each year. The prize is currently $500,000 US and is intended to fund further research by the prize winner. The prize is named after Holger Crafoord (1908-1982), a Swedish industrialist who donated the initial funds for the prize.
