Presentation of the Woodrow Wilson Award
In 2005, Jürgen E. Schrempp received the Woodrow Wilson Award for Corporate Citizenship for his dedication to social and political issues. The awards for Public Service and Corporate Citizenship are endowed by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, a foundation that is part of the world-renowned Smithsonian Institution of Washington D.C. The awards honour prominent figures from the fields of commerce and politics for their commitment to social issues with regard to cooperation and understanding.
Efforts to integrate politics, science and policy for the common good are paid particular attention. This is very much in line with the thinking of Woodrow Wilson, who believed that real social progress was only possible if politics and science could find a mutual footing.
