The Astrup Prize 2010
Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, in cooperation with the Nordic Society for Clinical
Chemistry, arranges a prize competition to reward contemporary Nordic research
work related to the field of clinical chemistry. The competition takes place every
second year in connection with the Nordic Congress in Clinical Chemistry.
Scientists (below the age of 40 years) who have not previously received the Astrup
Prize and who are working in the Nordic countries are requested to submit an
abstract of a recent scientific work with a maximum length of 1,000 words (incl.
references) and not more than two illustrations. The work must be either unpub-
lished or recently published (defined as published on Pub Med after July, 2009).
Abstracts including the name and affiliation of the author(s), which must be
received by January 15, 2010 at the latest, should be addressed to:

In February 2010 a Nordic prize committee will select up to three of the submit-
ted contributions, to be presented by the authors at the XXXII Nordic Congress in
Clinical Chemistry, Oslo, June 1-4 2010. The speakers will be reimbursed for all
expenses related to congress participation, travelling (within Scandinavia), and ac-
commodation. The individual presentation should not exceed twenty minutes and
will be followed by a free discussion.
These authors are invited to publish the presentations, either as a Regular paper or
as part of a Review in The Scandinavian Journal of Clinical and Laboratory Investiga-
tion. The manuscript must be submitted before October 31, 2010.
Based on the scientific value of the paper, and the quality of its oral presentation,
the prize committee will award a first prize of DKK 60,000.00, a second prize of
DKK 30,000.00 and a third prize of DKK 10,000.00.
