Welcome to the exciting announcement of the upcoming second edition of the Joaquín Navarro-Valls International Award for Leadership and Benevolence! Scheduled to take place on July 8 in Rome, this prestigious event organized by the Biomedical University Foundation aims to shine a spotlight on exceptional individuals who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and made significant contributions to society.
This year, the award will feature two categories – “Senior” and “Junior” – to honor those who have dedicated themselves to promoting human well-being and inclusion, especially among students from disadvantaged backgrounds. The ceremony will be held in the magnificent Sala della Protomoteca of the Capitoline Museums in Rome, surrounded by the rich history and culture of the city.
A distinguished jury, led by Federico Eichberg and including renowned figures like Paolo Arullani and Bianca Maria Farina, will be present to select the deserving winners of the award. Additionally, the ceremony will also serve as a platform to raise funds for scholarships at the Campus Bio-Médico University of Rome, supporting the nurturing and development of talented individuals who may not have had the same opportunities otherwise.
The Navarro-Valls Prize not only pays homage to its co-founder, Joaquín Navarro-Valls, but also seeks to inspire a new generation of leaders who embody benevolence and strive for a more inclusive and supportive society. By recognizing achievements across various fields, from cultural to scientific, this event emphasizes the importance of responsible and sustainable social commitment, rooted in values of dignity and respect for all individuals.
Join us in celebrating the legacy of leadership and benevolence, and be a part of a community that champions positive change and upliftment for all!
