MEDALS AND HONORARY DEGREES

 

In the General Assembly in May 2000, we presented the first two honorary awards of the University. The following annual distinctions were created: 

-         Gold Medal Science and Peace. This will be awarded once a year to a person that has distinguished him or herself in the spread of culture and in defense of world peace. The successful candidate for the award will have contributed in both areas.

-         Honorary Doctorate. One honorary doctorate will be awarded each year to a person that has proven merits in both areas.
