February 7

[UN and] Cambridge Biography Center

This seems to be a body that has no other function than awarding "Man of the year in Science and Technology" to people from Eastern Europe. For example the author of this paper was named as the “Man of the year in Science and Technology” in 1998 of Cambridge Biography Center, UK - readers will note the American spelling of the word centre.

Is this a Real Thing™ and if so is the award significant and if so where can we find a reliable source for it?

I think it quite likely this is a different name for the scam/award-for-hire International Biographical Centre. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 13:27, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I concur. I've removed it from the article in question, as well as another similar "award" for the same person. All the best: Rich Farmbrough 18:00, 7 February 2025 (UTC).[reply]
