International Cosmos Prize
- International Cosmos Prize
The International Cosmos Prize is a prize awarded annually by the Expo 90 Commemorative Foundation for:
"research work that has achieved excellence and is recognized as contributing to a significant understanding of the relationships among living organisms, the interdependence of life and the global environment and the common nature integrating these inter-relationships." [ [http://www.expo-cosmos.or.jp/ Cosmos Prize website] ]
The prize, which may be awarded to an individual or team, consists of a commendation, a medallion and a monetary reward, currently 40 million yen. It is awarded during a ceremony held each boreal autumn, at which the individual or team delivers a commemorative lecture and takes part in a symposium held in their honor.
The name of the prize, "Cosmos," refers to the "Cosmos" flower that bloomed during the Expo and the ancient Greek word "kosmos" meaning "universe in harmony." The prize was first awarded in 1993, to the then Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Sir Ghillean Prance.
