2008 Balzan Prizes Awarded By President Of Italy - Preventive Medicine: Ian H. Frazer Honoured With 1M Swiss Francs
The Balzan Prizes for 2008 are presented today by
the President of the Italian Republic. During the ceremony, which takes
place at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, the prizes are presented to:
-- Ian H. Frazer (Australia, Diamantina Institute for Cancer, Immunology and
Metabolic Medicine, University of Queensland, Brisbane) for Preventive
Medicine, including Vaccination
-- Maurizio Calvesi (Italy, Università di Roma
"La Sapienza", fellow of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei) for the Visual
Arts since 1700; Thomas Nagel (USA, New York University) for Moral
Philosophy
-- Wallace S. Broecker (USA, Columbia University, New York) for
Science of Climate Change.
The International Balzan Foundation awards one million Swiss Francs (approx.
670,000 Euros, 840,000 USD) for each prize, a figure which places the Balzan
Prize amongst the biggest prize funds in the world of Science and Culture.
The winners are each required to allocate half of their prize money to
funding research projects carried out preferably by young scholars or
scientists in their respective fields. The subject fields (which change
every year and which are chosen from arts, letters, moral and physical
sciences, mathematics and medicine) and the winners are chosen by the
General Prize Committee, an independent body belonging to the International
Balzan Foundation "Prize" which is presided over by Sergio Romano and is
composed of twenty leading academics from eleven European countries.
In the field of Preventive Medicine, including vaccination, IAN H. FRAZER
was recognized "for his outstanding scientific achievement and lasting
contribution to preventive medicine in developing a vaccine that promises to
prevent virus-induced carcinoma of the cervix, which claims 1/4 million
lives every year".
The Balzan Prize 2008 for Visual Arts since 1700 has been awarded to
MAURIZIO CALVESI "for his outstanding work on the modern and contemporary
visual art which has contributed to a better understanding of the nature and
development of modernism as well as to the study of the origin of new trends
in contemporary art".
THOMAS NAGEL has received the 2008 Balzan Prize for Moral Philosophy "for
his fundamental and innovative contributions to contemporary ethical theory,
relating to both individual, personal choices and collective, social
decisions. For the depth and coherence of his original philosophical
perspective, which is centered on the essential tension between objective
and subjective points of view. For the originality and fecundity of his
philosophical approach to some of the most important questions in
contemporary life".
The Prize for Science of Climate Change went to WALLACE S. BROECKER "for his
extraordinary contributions to the understanding of climate change through
his discoveries concerning the role of the oceans and their interactions
with the atmosphere, as well as the role of glacial changes and the records
contained in ice cores and ocean sediments. His contributions have been
significant in understanding both gradual and abrupt climate change".
The Ceremony is preceded by the Balzan Prizewinners Interdisciplinary Forum
2008, which takes place in Palazzo Corsini, headquarter of the Lincei. The
Forum is a public event dedicated to the Balzan Prize subject areas for 2008
with Maurizio Calvesi, Thomas Nagel, Ian H. Frazer and Wallace S. Broecker,
all playing a prominent role. The prizewinners are introduced by the members
of the Balzan's General Prize Committee Dmitry O. Shvidkovsky, Salvatore
Veca, Werner Stauffacher and Enric Banda.
The Balzan Prize award ceremony takes place in alternate years in Rome with
the President of the Republic in attendance, and in Berne at the Federal
