Federal Councillor Leuenberger becomes patron of REACH Environment Prize 2002
Basel (ots)
Federal Councillor Moritz Leuenberger, Head of the Federal Department for Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications, has become the patron of the International REACH Environment Prize 2002. The "Pro Aqua-Pro Vita" foundation is announcing this award, which is worth 50,000 Swiss francs, for the fourth time and will award it in October 2002 in conjunction with REACH for process solutions, the international trade fair in Basel (October 15 - 18, 2002). The international trade fair REACH celebrates its inaugural event in 2002. The topics of the fair include industrial processes, process technology and environment management.
Private individuals, organisations, institutions, companies and public bodies from all countries may apply for the REACH Environment Prize 2002. The examined projects must represent either an innovation in technology, processes or products and/or suitable measures for its practical implementation. Their realisation should make a considerable contribution towards environmental protection and use natural resources responsibly.
Applications for the REACH Environment Prize 2002 can still be submitted until March 31, 2002 (date on postmark). Detailed registration documents can either be ordered on paper from the "Pro Aqua - Pro Vita" Foundation, c/o MCH Basel Exhibition Ltd, P.O.

The REACH Environment Prize 2002 continues the tradition of the internationally renowned M.U.T. Environment Prize, which the "Pro Aqua-Pro Vita" foundation awarded at M.U.T., the European environment technology exhibition in Basel, until the year 2000.
REACH for process solutions and r+d in life sciences: Two new trade fairs in Basel The industrial developments have made it necessary to replace the M.U.T. environment technology exhibition and the Ilmac chemistry fair - two internationally renowned trade fairs in Basel - with newly aligned fairs. The new REACH for process solutions is dedicated to industrial processes, process technology and environment management, while r+d in life sciences is specialised on research and development.
Both fairs are organised by Swiss Exhibition and will take place for the first time from October 15 to 18, 2002 in Basel, featuring an accompanying programme of events.
