ABOUT THE AWARD
The "Inspirational teaching award" is worth NOK 250,000 and will be awarded every year until 2026. The prize has been given as a donation from Isabella and Henrik Müller-Hansen and goes to individuals, not institutes or research centres.
- A committee comprising two representatives of the student association, the Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, Isabella or Henrik Müller-Hansen and a representative of the scientific staff appointed by the rector will decide who is going to receive the award each year.
- The award is based on an overall assessment of teaching effort in a broad sense, but with particular weight on the following criteria:
- the ability to create enthusiasm for the subject and its application in the business community and society at large
- close interaction between the students and lecturer
- lucidity, enthusiasm and good cooperation skills
- the ability to shed light on the subject from new angles
- innovation and creativeness, including the development of new courses and learning tools
- the ability to relate the subject matter to other parts of the programme
- the ability and will to cooperate with the business community, the labour market, other departments and other institutions.
