ABEL AWARD
Awarded
for Outstanding
scientific work in the field of mathematics
Country Norway
Presented
by King of Norway
First
awarded 2003
The Abel Award is an
international award presented by the King of Norway to one or more outstanding mathematicians.
Named after Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel (1802–1829), the award
was established in 2001 by the Government of Norway and complements the Holberg
Prize in the humanities.
The Abel Award Started in
2003 and it has often been described as the “Nobel Prize for Mathematics”. It carries the prize money of Rs. 4.5
crore i.e., 6 million Norwegian kroner (NOK) (approximately US$1 million). The
award ceremony takes place in the Atrium of the University of Oslo Faculty of
Law, where the Nobel Peace Prize was formerly awarded between 1947 and 1989.
