The Spar Nord Foundation Research Award is DKK 250,000 and is presented annually to an early-career researcher in recognition of an outstanding research project.

Once a year, all AAU employees are invited to submit motivated nominations for the award to a committee consisting of a distinguished researcher from each of the university¡¯s main academic areas, appointed by the Rector.

The Spar Nord Foundation Research Award is presented each year at Aalborg University¡¯s Annual Celebration.
