I'm delighted to report that Dennis Meadows has been awarded the 2009 Japan
Prize
for his pioneering work on sustainability using system dynamics. The Japan
Prize
""is awarded to people from all parts of the world whose original and outstanding
achievements in science and technology are recognized as having advanced the
frontiers of knowledge and served the cause of peace and prosperity for
mankind....Each Japan Prize laureate receives a certificate of merit and a
commemorative medal. A cash award of 50 million yen is also presented for each
prize category....The Presentation Ceremony has been held in the presence of
Their Majesties, the Emperor and Empress in Tokyo in April. The events are also
attended by the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the
President of House the Councillors, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,
foreign ambassadors to Japan and about a thousand other guests, including
eminent
academics, researchers and representatives of political, business and press
circles.""

Dennis is recognized for his work on ""Transformation towards a sustainable
society in harmony with nature.""
