Philip Morris Research Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From 1982 to 2007 the Philip Morris Research Prize was announced in Germany. The award was made directly by the German subsidiary of the tobacco manufacturer Philip Morris until 1987 , and from 1988 by the Philip Morris Foundation, which was set up specifically for this purpose. Up to 2005 alone, 93 projects and over 165 award winners had been awarded. Outstanding scientific work was awarded.

Critics had accused the Philip Morris Foundation of primarily promoting the interests of the tobacco company Philip Morris behind the ostensible intention of promoting science and, in particular, wanting to polish up its own image through social sponsoring. In 2006 there was a public demonstration against the Philip Morris Research Prize, for which numerous health and student organizations had gathered. The German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) adopted a code of ethics against sponsorship by the tobacco industry in 2005 , which numerous scientific institutions joined.
