The award exposes important forest research to industry

Putting science into practice is a joint ambition of the new members of the Marcus Wallenberg Prize Selection Committee. The forest sector has a key role in addressing the global challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss or increased demand of materials substituting fossil raw materials.

The object of the Foundation is to encourage scientific research by awarding an international prize called The Marcus Wallenberg Prize.

The purpose of the Prize is to recognize, encourage and stimulate pathbreaking scientific achievements which contribute significantly to broadening knowledge and to technical development within the fields of importance to forestry and forest industries.
