Queen Margrethe presented the Queen Ingrid Research Prize 2020

On October 9, 2020, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark presented the Queen Ingrid Researcher Prize 2020 and the Queen's special research scholarship. The Queen Ingrid Researcher Prize is awarded annually in connection with the International Rheumatism Day to a person working in Danish rheumatology research.

The award was presented at Amalienborg Palace to professor and chief physician Ellen-Margrethe Hauge for her extraordinary contribution to research relating to rheumatoid arthritis. The prize was established in 1978 to mark Queen Ingrid's 25-year career as a patron of the Arthritis Association. Queen Margrethe has since then taken over her mother's patronage.

As patron of the Arthritis Association, Queen Margrethe also presented Her Majesty the Queen's special research scholarship to Rasmus Westermann, clinical assistant at the Department of Rheumatology at Aalborg University Hospital. The research scholarship is given to a young research talent and is a gift from the Arthritis Association on the occasion of the Queen's 80th birthday.
