Abel Prize

The **Abel Prize**  () is a Norwegian prize awarded every year by the Government of Norway to one or more outstanding mathematicians.  It is named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829) and modelled after the Nobel Prizes, the award was established in 2001 by the Government of Norway and complements its sister prize in the humanities, the Holberg Prize.

It comes with a monetary award of 6 million Norwegian kroner (NOK) (around €650,000).
