Raphael Vermeir, ConocoPhillips General Manager and MIT Grad (OE 
'79), will be on the MIT campus on Wednesday, July 20 to promote the 
St Andrews Prize for the Environment and encourage applications. 

The St Andrews Prize is an initiative by the University of St Andrews 
in Scotland and the international integrated energy company, 
ConocoPhillips.  The aim of the Prize is to promote a practical 
solution to an environmental problem, with particular interest in 
projects that can be replicated in several regions, thereby 
increasing overall effectiveness and help to those who need it most.

The Prize recognizes significant contributions to environmental 
conservation and since its launch in 1998 has attracted entries from 
more than 50 countries each year on diverse topics including:
	*	sustainable development in the Amazon rainforest
	*	urban regeneration
	*	recycling
	*	health and water issues
	*	renewable energy

Submissions for the annual prize are assessed by a panel of eminent 
trustees representing science, industry, and government with the 
award going to the project that displays the best combination of good 
science, economic realism, and political acceptability.

The winner of the 2006 Prize will receive $50,000 and a medal, and 
the two runners-up will each receive $10,000.

Further information about the Prize and how to enter the annual 
competition can be found at the website:
