World-renowned philosopher elevates public discourse and illuminates ethical and civic questions of our time

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Berggruen Institute today named political philosopher Michael Sandel as the 2025 Laureate of the Berggruen Prize for Philosophy & Culture. One of the world’s leading thinkers and public intellectuals, Sandel has profoundly impacted how we think about justice, ethics, markets, and democracy today. The $1 million award is given annually to individuals whose ideas shape human self-understanding and advancement in a rapidly changing world.

“Professor Sandel’s work has left a profound mark on the global intellectual landscape. His critiques of neoliberalism, meritocratic ideology, and populism speak to the most urgent questions of our time,” said Yuk Hui, Chair of the Berggruen Prize Jury. Other jury members include Roger Ames, Antonio Damasio, Francis Fukuyama, Siri Hustvedt, Carlo Rovelli, and Elif Shafak.

A graduate of Brandeis University, Sandel received his doctorate in 1981 from Balliol College, University of Oxford, where he studied as a Rhodes Scholar under philosopher Charles Taylor. He has had a decades-long career at Harvard University where he currently serves as the Anne T. and Robert M. Professor of Government. Notably, his course “Justice” was the first to be made freely available online and on television, reaching 40 million viewers. His books have been widely translated and include lauded publications such as Justice: What’s the Right Thing to Do? (2009), The Tyranny of Merit (2020), and Equality: What It Means and Why It Matters, co-authored with Thomas Piketty (2025).

“Michael Sandel’s significant body of work is deserving of the Berggruen Institute’s lifetime achievement award recognizing intellectual thought of the highest caliber and global impact,” said Nicolas Berggruen, Chairman and Founder of the Berggruen Institute. “Given our world in flux, his illumination of what it means to be a good human and his infusion of ethics and reasoning into public discourse are necessary.”

Michael Sandel was selected for the Berggruen Prize from hundreds of nominees in the fields of philosophy, social science, economics, human rights, physics, literature, and beyond, and joins an esteemed cohort of Laureates, including Patricia Hill Collins (2023), Kojin Karatani (2022), Peter Singer (2021), Paul Farmer (2020), Ruth Bader Ginsburg (2019), Martha C. Nussbaum (2018), Onora O’Neill (2017), and Charles Taylor (2016). Sandel will receive the prize in spring 2026 at a celebration in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — In a heartfelt demonstration of empathy and community spirit, 15 volunteers from Vantage Foundation spent a day at Laws for Paws Vietnam, a local non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating abandoned and abused dogs.

The activity was part of Vantage Foundation’s broader mission to create positive social impact through meaningful, hands-on volunteer work. Throughout the day, volunteers participated in a series of activities, from walking and bathing the dogs to assisting with general care, ensuring that each animal receives not only physical attention but also the emotional connection crucial to their recovery.

“This was more than just a volunteering activity; it was a humbling experience that reminded us of the power of compassion,” said Adam, Sales Director of Vantage Markets. “Many of us formed genuine bonds with the dogs and witnessed firsthand how small acts of kindness can make a big difference in their healing journey.”

The day was filled with warmth, laughter, and shared affection as volunteers interacted closely with the animals, many of whom have endured neglect or abuse before being rescued. The experience left a deep impression on the Vantage team, reinforcing the foundation’s belief that care, and kindness should extend beyond human communities, to all living beings who need it.

Laws for Paws Vietnam continues to play an essential role in animal welfare, providing rescued dogs with medical care, rehabilitation, and a safe path to adoption. Vantage Foundation is proud to support their mission and to raise awareness of the importance of compassion-driven community initiatives.

“Through partnerships like this, we’re reminded that creating impact doesn’t always require large-scale programs, it can begin with empathy and a willingness to give our time,” said Steven Xie, Executive Director of Vantage Foundation. “Every volunteer effort is a step toward a kinder and more inclusive world.”

Vantage Foundation is an independent charitable organization launched at the McLaren Technology Centre in the UK in 2023.

BARCELONA, Spain, Oct. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The fifth Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress (TMWC), the global event driving a new sustainable and intelligent urban mobility, is set to return to Barcelona from November 4–6, 2025, with its most ambitious edition yet. The Gran Via venue will gather over 200 exhibitors and more than 200 speakers to explore new technologies and strategies to accelerate towards a new era of connected, inclusive, and low-emission mobility.

Delegates access the Gran Via venue in Barcelona during Tomorrow.Mobility World Congress 2024

Co-organized by Fira de Barcelona and EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology, a body of the European Union, and under the theme “Move Better,” TMWC will feature a conference program with over 50 sessions addressing topics such as Staying competitive in the race to net-zero, The future of mobility: exploring the next decade of innovations, Innovations to increase the resilience and quality of mobility systems, Solutions for sustainable commuting, and Autonomous mobility in public transport.

The speaker lineup features David Zipper, Senior Fellow at the MIT Mobility Initiative, as the keynote, Jari Kauppila, Head of the Secretary-General’s Office at the International Transport Forum (ITF), Pierfrancesco Maran, Member of the European Parliament; Arianna Censi, Deputy Mayor for Mobility, City of Milan; and Matt Halle, Deputy Mayor, City of Los Angeles.

TMWC will also be the stage where EIT Urban Mobility will share insights from two recent studies. The first focuses on the benefits of bike-sharing and concludes that well-designed systems deliver significant benefits financially – saving 760,000 commuting hours, equivalent to €30 million – but also in emissions reduction, public health improvements, and urban quality of life. The second study identifies the psychological barriers that slow the adoption of new mobility schemes.

Exhibition and Innovation zones

TMWC 2025 will include an exhibition area and an Innovation Playground that will showcase cutting-edge solutions from across the mobility ecosystem. Among the 200 confirmed exhibitors are Barcelona Serveis Municipals, Deloitte, Ministry of Territory – Government of Catalonia, Moventis, Network Optix, PTV Group, Sener, and Tomtom.

The event’s Startup Zone will highlight disruptive mobility technologies and platforms, offering opportunities for collaboration and investment.

A global event shaping urban futures

TMWC will be held alongside Smart City Expo World Congress, the leading international summit on smart cities and urban solutions; Tomorrow.Building; and Tomorrow.Blue Economy, bringing together more than 1,100 exhibitors and over 25,000 attendees, transforming Fira de Barcelona into the World’s largest urban innovation hub.
