The Hagedorn Prize
Objective
The Hagedorn Prize was established in 1966 by the Danish Society for Internal Medicine in connection with the society's 50th anniversary in recognition of Dr Hans Christian Hagedorn's contributions to medical science. The prize was originally anchored in its own foundation with funding from Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium and with the board of the Danish Society for Internal Medicine as the foundation board.
Because the foundation's funding was no longer sufficient for a worthy prize, it was transferred in 2008 to the Novo Nordisk Foundation which has subsequently made the prize available for distribution by the Danish Society for Internal Medicine.
The prize is conferred at the Society's annual conference in recognition of excellent research or development efforts within the field of Danish internal medicine. The prize of DKK 250,000 is distributed as a personal award of DKK 100,000 and an award for research or development work of DKK 150,000. The prize also comes with the Hagedorn Medal.
Committee
Danish Society for Internal Medicine
The Danish Society for Internal Medicine was founded in 1916 to promote the scientific study of internal medicine and the supplementary training of medical specialists in the field. The Society also collaborates with specialist societies within the field of internal medicine and provides advisory services in relation to study programmes in internal medicine and the position of internal medicine within the Danish health care system.
