The Holberg International Memorial Prize is awarded annually by the Ludvig Holberg Memorial Fund for outstanding scholarly work in the fields of the arts and humanities, social sciences, law and theology.

The prize is awarded to a scholar who has made an outstanding contribution, either within one of these academic fields alone or through interdisciplinary work. The prize winner must have had a decisive influence on international research in the field, for instance through the development of new theory, knowledge or insight, through making innovative use of existing theories or through the methods employed.
