Call for Nomination:
The Holberg International Memorial Prize 2012
Holberg International Memorial Prize 2011: Jürgen Kocka
Jürgen Kocka is an outstanding historian who effected a paradigm shift in German historiography by opening it up to related social sciences and establishing the importance of cross-national comparative approaches.
His works represent a monumental achievement in the histories of labour, the European bourgeoisie, and corporations, exploring many aspects of social stratification and the continuously changing nature of work.
The Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund was established in 2003 by the Norwegian Parliament. The Board of the Fund annually awards the Holberg International Memorial Prize for outstanding scholarly work in the fields of the arts and humanities, social sciences, law and theology.
The prize amounts to NOK 4.5 million (app. EUR 570,000/USD 800,000).

The prize is awarded to scholars who have made outstanding contributions to research in the arts and humanities, social science, law or theology, either within one of these fields or through interdisciplinary work. The prize winner must have had a decisive influence on international research.
