The Royal Society of Sciences in Uppsala was founded in 1710 and is Sweden's oldest academy of science. It is a still active and committed academy that, among other things, supports Swedish research of the highest quality by awarding prizes and rewards to deserving researchers.

One of the Royal Society of Sciences prizes includes the (Lilly and Sven) Thureus Prize. This prize was instituted upon a donation from Lilly and Sven Thureus in 1971. Originally it was a one-time prize, but at present it is awarded annually.
