The nomination process for the Volvo Environment Prize 2010 is now closed. To be considered, nominations must be submitted before November 15, 2009

The Volvo Environment Prize Foundation invites universities, research institutes, scientists and engineers as well as other individual and organisations to submit nominations for the Volvo Environment Prize.

The Volvo Environment Prize is awarded for "Outstanding innovations or scientific discoveries which in broad terms fall within the environmental field". Priority is given to an individual or to a group of named individuals, rather than to institutions.

Until 2009 the prize has been awarded to 36 people. The laureates include many well-know names, of which three are Nobel Prize Winners.
