The Creative Heroes Award focuses on the impact of creative thinking. It focuses on the person that leads the change, on the person that has the courage to stand up and challenge the current status quo. It zooms in on the creative process itself and on the people behind new concepts and innovations that have sustainable positive impact on people, society, and the environment.
Stanislava Bezdíček Králová of the University of Vienna, Centre for Microbiology and Environmental Systems Science, Division of Microbial Ecology, winner of the Creative Superhero award said: “This Creative Heroes Award is amazing for me because as scientists we usually don’t get appreciation from the public or even from colleagues. I really hope that this award can contribute to our unique Antarctic research being seen by other universities here and abroad, and that they are willing to help and collaborate on it.”
Bastiaan Brouns, Director of The Netherlands-Czech Chamber of Commerce, organisers of the Creative Heroes Award Czech Republic, added: “We congratulate all nominees. They are all truly inspiring people that have the courage to redefine boundaries and put their creativity to work. Thanks to these Creative Heroes, we can be hopeful about our future. Together we can have sustainable positive impact on well-being and prosperity.”
