The Marcus Wallenberg Foundation invites applications for the Young Researchers’ Challenge with the chance to win a spot at the Prize ceremony and banquet in honour of the 2023 Marcus Wallenberg Prize Winners.
Take the opportunity to present your research to leading scientists and representatives of the forest-based industry and fellow researchers from all over the world. The program will range from 9 to 11 October 2022 – see below.
We invite researchers 35 years old or younger, post-docs, or PhD students to participate. Apply now through our form at mwp.org/yrc2022. Your contribution should not exceed 200 words and must be submitted not later than 10 June 2022.
After evaluation, some 30 contributions will be selected to be invited to the 2022 MWP Prize Ceremony and extended program (see below). All winning participants are expected to submit a short abstract on their research project to be presented in a poster session.
Briefly describe your research and how you think it will have an impact on the forest-based industry and society as a whole. Present your vision for the development you want to promote with your research and how current obstacles can be overcome. You are free to discuss opportunities in a wide range of research and business areas in the sector.
