She told NWO that she was \u2018extremely delighted\u2019 to receive the award.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the research funder, Robeyns\u2019 research on the distribution of justice, wealth and wellbeing offers concrete solutions to challenges around inequality and democratic decline. \u201cHer keen analytical mind, organisational skills and public visibility demonstrate that philosophy can effect real change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The other winner is Ilse Aben, one of the inventors of the satellite technology that allows us to detect greenhouse gas emissions. \u201cIn doing so, she has made a unique and indispensable contribution to the fight against climate change.\u201d The prize came as a complete surprise to Aben. \u201cObviously, it\u2019s not something you think about at all in your day-to-day work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The official award ceremony for the Spinoza and Stevin Prizes will take place on Tuesday 14 October.
