The university board explains their choice: "Professor Mareile Kaufmann is awarded a prize for young researchers for her interdisciplinary research in the intersection between technology, genetics and social security - digital criminology. As a researcher, Kaufmann has succeeded in creating a real interdisciplinary dialogue between subjects and disciplines that are usually seen as far apart. Kaufmann has a unique ability to identify and shed light on difficult topics, including ethical challenges in research on exposed and vulnerable people."

A portrait about her can be read in English and in Norwegian.
