• AUSTRALIAN THINKER OF THE YEAR AWARD
The Australian Thinker of the Year Award is a personal gift of the School of Thinking. There is only one award each year.
This unique award was created in 2005 by the School of Thinking (SOT) to recognise the contribution Australian thinkers make both nationally and globally. The Award is given to a worthy person who has conferred a great benefit to Australia or the world whether for a most important discovery or invention or improvement or a most outstanding work in a future direction or who has done great work for the promotion of a better Australia or a better world.
The award is a personal gift of scholarly appreciation and carries with it no responsibilities, commitments or obligations of any kind. The award is formally presented at a reception of Australian leaders in science, art, business, education and media. It is in recognition of individual Australian thinkers and thought-leaders.
