(Updated on September 5) The 2024 Skytte Prize Award Ceremony will be held on September 14 between 15:45 and 17:15 in the Grand Auditorium of the Main University Building in Uppsala.

The ceremony will feature the awarding of the Johan Skytte Prize to the 2023 and 2024 laureates: Martha Finnemore (2023), Alexander Wendt (2023), and JĂŒrgen Habermas (2024). Due to health reasons, Wendt and Habermas will be represented by family members.


Peter Katzenstein will also be formally conferred with the 2020 Skytte Prize, which he was previously unable to receive due to the COVID-19 pandemic.


The event will include a panel discussion entitled "World Order in Uncertain Times", featuring Martha Finnemore, Peter Katzenstein, Li Bennich-Björkman and Johanna Pettersson FĂŒrst, moderated by Henrik Borelius (Johan Skytte Foundation). Additionally, Antonie Habermas, the granddaughter of JĂŒrgen Habermas, will read a short speech written by Habermas.


The ceremony is open to the public, and no registration is required.
