The SLU Educational Award

Since 2006, SLU offers two educational awards for “exemplary efforts within education and teaching”. One award is for an individual (teacher, director of studies or equivalent) and the other award is a group prize (teaching team, department or equivalent). Teachers and students can nominate candidates for the awards.

The SLU Medals for Distinguished Service

SLU's three Medals for Distinguished Service are awarded annually to someone whose efforts "benefit SLU or the sector in which SLU works", or to a young, promising talent in a wide sense.

• The Great Medal for Distinguished Service is awarded for research efforts deemed "remarkable from an international perspective". 
• The smaller Gold Medal for Distinguished Service rewards "exemplary, exceptional efforts of lasting value". 
• The Silver Medal for Distinguished Service is awarded to a young, promising talent at SLU who is encouraged to continue their activities in the same exemplary manner in the future, "preferably within the field of innovation and collaboration".
