The Per Brinck Oikos Awardrecognizes extraordinary and important contributions to the science of ecology. Particular emphasis is given to scientific work aimed at synthesis that has led to novel and original research in unexplored or neglected fields, or to bridging gaps between ecological disciplines. Such achievements typically require theoretical innovation and devlopment as well as imaginative observational or experimental work, all of which will be valid grounds for recognition.The Per Brinck Oikos Awardis delivered in honor of the Swedish ecologist Professor Per Brinck who has played an instrumental role for the development and recognition of the science of ecology in the Nordic countries, especially as serving as the Editor‐in‐Chief for Oikos for many years. The award is delivered annually and the laureate receives a modest prize sum, a diploma and a Swedish artisan glassware. The Award is sponsored by the Per Brinck Foundation at the editorial office of the journal Oikos and Wiley/Blackwell Publishing.
