Comprehension
The award honors scientific or literary work and practically orientated projects in the European area who match to the central ideas of TM/CAM and who initiate user and consumer formations. The main idea of culture and TM/CAM understands both as a unity and seeks for a careful treatment of natural resources (ground, air, water, plants, animals, humans) when practicing traditional healing therapies, health promotion and cultural legacy.
The Advancement Award is endowed with 500 Euro to support new projects or scientists as well as young or merited sponsors. It will be awarded every two years.
