The Pedagogical Prize

The prize winner is selected by the Committee for Higher Education based on proposals from a special prize committee, which also includes a representative from the Committee for Doctoral Education. When selecting the prize winner, the prize committee looks specifically at the following factors:

• Educational innovation (innovations, development and improvement work)
• Educational impact (local, national, international)
• Educational leadership

Candidates for the prize can be nominated by teachers, students, doctoral students, and other staff working at KI. From 2013, KI’s educational prize also includes educational efforts in postgraduate education. The prize committee therefore also welcomes nominations regarding efforts within KI’s postgraduate education.

The prize can be shared among up to 3 winners. A member of the prize committee cannot be awarded the prize.
Those who are employed at KI are entitled to be nominated.

The prize is awarded at KI’s Installation Ceremony held in Aula Medica in October each year. The total prize money is SEK 175,000, which is transferred to the institution(s) where the winner(s) work.
