"We have an incredible number of skilled and dedicated staff at UiT, which means there are many deserving of recognition. By nominating someone, you’re not only giving them the chance to receive such an award but also showing colleagues that their work makes a difference and is noticed. In other words, there are only good reasons to aim for a record-breaking number of nominations this year," says Kathrine Tveiterås, Pro-Rector for Education at UiT.

The Board of UiT The Arctic University of Norway presents the following awards:

• Dissemination Award

The awards serve as recognition to encourage increased efforts, inspire the recipients and their academic environments, and support UiT's strategy and strategic focus areas. Each award comes with a prize of NOK 100,000.

The nomination deadline, as mentioned, is January 15, 2025. The awards are planned to be presented during UiT's annual celebration in April.
