Jürgen Habermas will receive the UCD Ulysses Medal at a special ceremony on June 16, 2010, at the University College Dublin.

It is awarded to individuals whose work has made an outstanding global contribution.
Habermas will give a lecture on June 15 at the UCD Clinton Institute for American Studies/Global Ireland Institute in Dublin. The title is: "‘The Political’: The Rational Meaning of a Questionable Inheritance of Political Theology".

Heckman; Dr Phillip Sharp, Nobel Laureate; Professor Klaus Schwab, founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum; US Philosopher, Professor Hilary Putnam; Stanford University’s 10th President, Professor John L Hennessy; and Professor Richard Ernst, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry.
