The Ebbe Nielsen Prize is an annual prize which was established by the GBIF Governing Board to honour the memory of Ebbe Schmidt Nielsen, who was an inspirational leader in the fields of biosystematics and biodiversity informatics and one of the driving leaders promoting the establishment of GBIF. The Prize consists of €30,000.

The Prize is primarily intended to be awarded to a promising researcher in the early stage of his/her career who is combining biosystematics and biodiversity informatics research in an exciting and novel way. This does not preclude researchers at later stages in their career from being nominated where they are able to demonstrate new and novel research in biosystematics-/biodiversity informatics.

Please find more information in the call document: http://www.gbif.org/fileadmin/Images/Calls/2011_Ebbe_Nielsen_Prize_call.pdf

Kindly recall that this is the 10th time the Science Committee is to hand out the prize. We hope you also this time will help finding really top candidates for the prize.
