Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters

Last updated

The Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters (Swedish : Finska Vetenskaps-Societeten r.f., Finnish : Suomen Tiedeseura r.y., Latin : Societas Scientiarum Fennica) is a Finnish learned society for natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. It is a bilingual (Swedish and Finnish) science academy and the oldest of the four science academies in Finland. [1]

Contents

The society was founded in 1838 and is based in Helsinki. It has a total of 120 full ordinary Finnish members, excluding members who have reached the age of 67 (a member who reaches the age of 67 retains the rights as a member but leaves his or her chair open for election of a new member), and about 120 foreign members. It is divided into four sections: I: mathematics and physics, II: biosciences, III: humanities, and IV: social sciences. [2]

The society publishes a yearbook, Sphinx, and the book series Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum, Commentationes Scientiarum Socialium, Bidrag till kännedom av Finlands natur och folk and The History of Learning and Science in Finland 1828-1918. It also awards a number of prizes and grants for scientific and scholarly work.

In addition to the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, there are three other academies in Finland: the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters and two academies of engineering sciences. The four Finnish academies have an umbrella organisation for cooperation, the Council of Finnish Academies. [1]

Prizes

The society awards prizes for scientific excellence.

E.J. Nyström Prize

E.J. Nyström Prize is awarded annually since 1962 for scientific accomplishments. [3] The prize alternates between the four sections of the society.

Theodor Homén Prize

Theodor Homén Prize was established in 1963 and initially awarded every three years. Currently it is awarded annually, alternating between physics and the history of Finland. [4]

Magnus Ehrnrooth Foundation Prize

Magnus Ehrnrooth Foundation Prize is awarded annually since 1986 and it alternates between mathematics, chemistry and physics. [5]

PhD Mikael Björnberg Memorial Fund

The PhD Mikael Björnberg Memorial Fund was established in 2002 [6] by the society to honor the memory of the Finnish physicist Mikael Björnberg, who had died in an aviation accident in 2000 at the age of only 35. [7] The Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters awards prizes to young outstanding theoretical physicists from the fund. The first prize was awarded in 2004 and since 2013 it has been awarded annually. In 2025 the amount of the prize was €10 000 . [6]
