Karl Pribram was honored to receive the first Dagmar and Václav Havel Prize, which honors outstanding scholars who have contributed the most to unite the sciences and the humanities.

“[Pribram] is an example to people of different fields and orientations, such as neurologists, psychologists, mathematicians, scientists and philosophers,” Havel said. “It is a wonder to see people from all over the world united by one purpose when so often the world is divided by distrust and small disparities.”
