international organization to promote culture around the world:

“The World Cultural Council is a
non-profit international organization, based in Mexico, whose objectives are to
promote culture, values and goodwill throughout the world. One of the means by
which it strives to do so is by granting the Albert Einstein World Award of
Science, the José Vasconcelos World Award of Education and the Leonardo da
Vinci World Award of Arts to outstanding personalities whose work has had a
significantly positive impact on the cultural legacy of mankind. The members of
the Council include several Nobel laureates.
It was in 1981, on the inspiration of 124
distinguished scholars, university presidents and organization executives from
the world over, that the WCC was founded and, in 1984, the first Award Ceremony
took place.
The World Cultural Council is composed
of a directing body headed by an Honorary President, Vice-president, Executive
Director, Secretary General and an Interdisciplinary Committee made up of
outstanding scientific, artistic and educational personalities.
The
Interdisciplinary Committee evaluates annually the candidates nominated to
participate in the “Albert Einstein“, the “José Vasconcelos” and the “Leonardo da Vinci” Awards”
