Fredrik Björnberg has donated over half a million euros to the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters. The donation is allocated to the memorial fund honoring Dr. Mikael Björnberg, a prominent researcher in theoretical nuclear physics who tragically died in a plane crash in 2000 at the age of only 35.

The memorial fund, established in 2002, has been supporting research since 2004, with the Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters awarding prestigious prizes to outstanding researchers, particularly in theoretical physics and closely related disciplines.
