Jacob Peace Memorial Award
Deadline has passed.
Purpose
This award is established in memory of Professor Philip E. Jacob (1914-1985), who devoted his personal and academic life to the search for peace and inter-cultural understanding.
Dr. Jacob was convinced that war and the preservation of human values are incompatible with each other. He tried through scholarship, teaching, and public service to strengthen bonds of international cooperation and the processes of peacemaking. In pioneering a new diplomacy of cross-national collaborative research with fellow scientists from East, West, North, and South, he succeeded in joining minds and resources across barriers of ideology and politics in a common exploration of how to better the human condition.
