In February 2008 a Nordic prize committee will select up to three of the submit-
ted contributions, to be presented by the authors at the XXXI Nordic Congress
in Clinical Chemistry, Helsinki, June 14-18, 2008. The speakers will be reim-
bursed for all expenses related to congress participation, travelling (within Scan-
dinavia), and accommodation. The individual presentation should not exceed
twenty minutes and will be followed by a free discussion.
The presentations are to be published in The Scandinavian Journal of Clinical
and Laboratory Investigation, and for this purpose a manuscript prepared
according to the rules of the Journal must be ready for submission by June 14,
2008.
Based on the scientific value of the paper, and the quality of its oral presenta-
tion, the prize committee will award a first prize of DKK 60,000.00, a second
