Opinion: Three Kyoto Prize laureates coming to San Diego will put it in an international spotlight [Opinion]
In recent years, we have heard from such luminaries as philosopher Martha Craven Nussbaum, computer genius Alan Kay, conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt, choreographer Pina Bausch and artist William Kentridge. We’ve also heard from researchers who developed stem cells from skin cells, biologists who developed tissue regeneration technologies, and on and on.
When the laureates arrive in San Diego next week, they will be hosted by science, technology, engineering and mathematics students at Point Loma Nazarene University, and they will give lectures and presentations at UC San Diego. The public is invited to these presentations with no admission fee, thanks to a grant from the Inamori Foundation.
There are plenty of things that pull us apart as a society. But collaboration is what unites us and moves us forward. The Kyoto Prize Symposium is a rare tangible example of how business, science, technology, philosophy, the arts, educational institutions, government and nations can see the value in something that, as Inamori said, can improve our lives and enrich the human spirit.
Please join us in recognizing the achievements of these student scholars and laureates and celebrating the collaboration of so many sectors of our community.
