International Award Named After H.I. Roerich
Aiming to encourage scientific investigations connected with the study of many-sided scientific and philosophical heritage of the Roerich family, an International Award (named after H.I. Roerich) has been set up by a charitable foundation named after H.I. (aka: Nicholas) Roerich. "This award is given for the best scientific work in the field of Living Ethics which is a philosophy of cosmic reality".

Famous quotes containing the words award and/or named:
“The award of a pure gold medal for poetry would flatter the recipient unduly: no poem ever attains such carat purity.”
—Robert Graves (1895–1985)
“Methinks it would be some advantage to philosophy if men were named merely in the gross, as they are known. It would be necessary only to know the genus and perhaps the race or variety, to know the individual. We are not prepared to believe that every private soldier in a Roman army had a name of his own,—because we have not supposed that he had a character of his own.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
