The Center for Ethics and Entrepreneurship, where I work, has received one of the 2009 Templeton Freedom Awards for Excellence in Promoting Liberty.

The Templeton Freedom Awards are the largest international awards program for think tanks, and are decided and given by the Atlas Economic Research Foundation, a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.

CEE won in the category “Special Achievement by a University-based Center.” According to the AERF press release, it was “awarded the University-based prize for launching six courses focusing on the ethical infrastructure of entrepreneurship and the preconditions of the free society in ethics.”
