The Marc Cornelissen| Brightlands Award is awarded to candidates who distinguish themselves in the spirit of Marc in their collaborative leadership as well in collaboration across borders to make our world more sustainable. Candidates are able to radiate ambassadorship of this award. With a contribution to a sustainable world is not only meant initiatives that contribute directly to a climate neutral energy, economy or society, but also solutions to problems in areas such as affordable care, healthy food, etc… Nominees are candidates who are driven by an ideal for which other paths are chosen from the usual ones or even just going outside paths looking for solutions. The candidate is driven by his ideals, and will look beyond the beaten path to achieve these. He is also interested in how different areas relate to one another, such as what is necessary to enable a new technology or medication to yield returns. Behavior and ethics are usually inherent components of this.
