Brain Prize

Brain Prize on huomattava kansainvälinen tiedepalkinto, joka on myönnetty vuodesta 2011 lähtien yhdelle tai useammalle tunnustetulle, yhä aktiivista tutkimustyötä tekevälle neurotieteiden tutkijalle. Palkinnon rahoittaa teollisuustaustainen tanskalainen Lundbeck-säätiö. Alkujaan palkintoa myönnettiin nimellä The Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Prize. Palkinnon rahallinen arvo on oli aiemmin miljoona euroa, mutta on nykyään jo 10 miljoonaa Tanskan kruunua eli noin 1,3 miljoonaa euroa. Se on yksi maailman arvostetuimmista ja arvoltaan yksi maailman suurimmista hermosto- ja aivotutkimukselle myönnettävistä tiedepalkinnoista. Palkituksi tulleiden tieteentekijöiden toivotaan tekevän yhteistyötä tanskalaisten aivotutkijoiden kanssa. Yhteistyömuotoina ovat esimerkiksi Prain Prize -seminaari, palkintoluennot, ja yliopistollinen teemaopetus tai maisterikurssit. ==Luettelo palkituista== Palkinto voidaan jakaa usean saajan kesken.
