Björn Carlsons Östersjöpris A prize to celebrate valuable contributions to protecting the Baltic Sea’s environment and ecology.

Stiftelsen Björn Carlsons Östersjöstiftelse, även kallad BalticSea2020, grundades år 2005 av Björn Carlson (1935-2021) genom en donation om 500 miljoner kronor. Under sina första 15 verksamma år har stiftelsens tillgångar finansierat åtgärder och utvecklingsprojekt som bidrar till en friskare Östersjö samt forskning som breddat eller fördjupat kunskapen om Östersjön och dess avrinningsområde. Stiftelsen har påverkat EU:s fiskeri-och jordbrukslagstiftning, startat nästan 100 projekt för ett friskare hav och bidragit till att genomföra och publicera många viktiga vetenskapliga studier. Vidare har stiftelsen stöttat initiativ inom opinionsbildning och film i syfte att sprida kunskap om Östersjöns miljö till beslutsfattare, allmänhet och skolor. Sedan stiftelsen påbörjade sitt arbete 2005 har styrelsen fram till 2020 fattat beslut om anslag på cirka 650 miljoner kronor till projekt inom programområdena Fiske, Övergödning och Information.

År 2020 förändrade stiftelsen planenligt sitt miljöarbete för att 2021 byta inriktning från en forskningsstiftelse till en pris- och forskningsstiftelse. Det innebär att stiftelsen har inrättat ett pris – Björn Carlsons Östersjöpris, med en årlig summa på initialt 3 miljoner kronor. Stiftelsen bygger vidare på Björn Carlsons grundidé om att stiftelsen ska bidra till att vända situationen i Östersjön i positiv riktning och vill genom priset belöna forskning som lämnat värdefulla bidrag till en bättre östersjömiljö och möjliggöra till fortsatt arbete för havet. Intentionen är att dela ut priset första gången under våren 2022 och därefter en gång per år. Läs mer om stiftelsen och Björn Carlsons Östersjöpris på https://bcop.se/.

September 15, Associate Professor Henrik Svedäng was awarded Björn Carlsons Östersjöpris 2026 at Operaterassen in Stockholm. The award was presented by H.R.H. Crown Princess Victoria ✨

“I feel very honored to receive Björn Carlsons Östersjöpris. I see it as recognition both of my marine research and of my efforts to contribute to the public debate on the status of fish populations and how they are managed. The prize will provide me with continued and enhanced opportunities to develop my research on the dynamics of fish populations, including how they are divided into separate populations and how this structure is maintained in the marine environment” - Henrik Svedäng.

The prize ceremony was moderated by Agnes Karlsson, one of the founders of Björn Carlson’s Baltic Fellows, and featured remarks from Bo Lehander, Carl André and the previous prize winner of 2023, Jacob Carstensen 🌊
