Gregori Aminoff Prize



The Gregori Aminoff Prize is an international prize awarded since 1979 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in the field of crystallography, rewarding "a documented, individual contribution in the field of crystallography, including areas concerned with the dynamics of the formation and dissolution of crystal structures. Some preference should be shown for work evincing elegance in the approach to the problem."[1]

The prize, which is named in memory of the Swedish scientist and artist Gregori Aminoff (1883-1947), since 1923 Professor of Mineralogy at the Swedish Museum of Natural History, was endowed through a bequest by his widow Birgit Broomé-Aminoff. The prize can be shared by several winners.[2]
