This is the fifteenth year in a row that the Athena Prize is awarded. The prize was established in 2008 with the vision of improving health and living conditions for human beings by stimulating research and innovation in collaboration between healthcare, academia and business.
Dagens Medicin and Vinnova are responsible for the Athena Prize, which is also supported by Forte, the Swedish Research Council and Lif. The jury for the prize includes Jonas Oldgren, Secretary General for Clinical Research at the Swedish Research Council.

The nomination is done in two steps, and for the first step only a brief justification is required. In the next step, the jury will select the most interesting projects, which are then asked to provide a more detailed description.
