Nanyang Technological University (NTU) is hosting two
prestigious events next week – the World Cultural Council’s 30th Award Ceremony
and the World Academic Summit. These events will bring into focus the
outstanding achievements of the world’s best and most creative minds, and bring
together leaders and decision-makers from around the world to discuss the
opportunities and challenges related to the development of future research and
innovation.
Three leading scholars and artists will be honoured at the
World Cultural Council Award Ceremony on 2 October 2013. The World Cultural Council, a Mexico-based
international organisation that promotes academic achievement, will present its
Albert Einstein World Award of Science to Professor Sir Paul Nurse, President
of the Royal Society (United Kingdom), and the Leonardo da Vinci Award of Arts
to Prof Petteri Nisunen and Mr Tommi Gronlund in a ceremony on NTU's campus.
