TAIPEI, Taiwan — The Tang Prize Foundation said Saturday that it will organize a series of talks in September to highlight the topic of sustainable development, and the life and work of Arthur H. Rosenfeld, who won the Tang Prize in sustainable development this year.
Ashok Gadgil, a scientist and professor at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, will give two lectures on the topic Sept. 24 and 28, respectively, the foundation said.
The first lecture will be at Howard Civil Service International House in Taipei and the second at National Chung Hsing University in Taichung, the foundation said.
Gadgil, who studied at the graduate level under Rosenfeld, will accept the Tang Prize on Rosenfeld’s behalf at the award ceremony on Sept. 25, as the 90-year-old laureate will not be able to travel to Taiwan due to his age and health, according to the foundation. [FULL STORY]
