BRNO, Czech Republic, May 13 /PRNewswire/ --

- Professor Alan J. Heeger, 2000 Chemistry Nobel Laureate, to interact
with students on creativity and discovery in science and the close
association of creativity with risk-taking in scientific research

Honeywell (NYSE: HON) today announced that the Brno University of
Technology will host at its Faculty of Information Technology the second
Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series held in the Czech Republic. Professor
Alan J. Heeger, the 2000 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry, will visit Brno
University of Technology on May 13 to deliver a lecture on "Creativity,
Discovery and Risk - Nobel Prizes Past and Future" and interact with students
and faculty. He will also deliver a colloquium on "Low Cost 'Plastic' Solar
Cells" at the same venue on May 14.

The Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series is the centerpiece of a
global education initiative designed to connect students across the globe
with Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry and Physics to inspire and motivate the
development of scientists of the future. Honeywell chose the Czech Republic
to launch the global initiative in October 2006 with the visit of Dr. Horst
Stormer, 1998 Nobel Laureate in Physics, at the Czech University of
Technology in Prague.

"The Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series is a great platform to
expose students to and interact with the world's best scientific minds. Czech
Republic has a tremendous pool of young talent and through opportunities such
as these, we hope to inspire students to pursue advanced studies in science.
We have a rich association with Brno University of Technology and are pleased
to be reaching out to a pool of aspiring young scientists, encouraging them
to greater achievements," said Adriane Brown, the President and CEO,
Transportation Systems, Honeywell, who will be personally opening Professor
Heeger's lecture at Brno University of Technology on Tuesday, May 13.

Honeywell and Brno University of Technology have been collaborating
together on several initiatives since 2003. These initiatives include
Innovators Scholarship Program for outstanding students, student internship
program, annual competition events for graduate and doctoral students,
participation at university job fairs and other similar events, collaboration
in R&D project pursuit on national and EU level, company personnel membership
in university academic and scientific bodies, etc.

"We are delighted to be chosen by Honeywell to host Professor Alan J.
Heeger as part of the Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series. Some of our
professors have participated at his lectures abroad and were amazed by his
depth of knowledge and inspirational drive," said prof. Ing. Karel Rais,
CSc., MBA, Rector of the Brno Technical University, and continued: "BUT is
recognized for its educational excellence and this initiative will enrich the
student's learning, providing them a never before opportunity to interact
with one of the world's best known scientists."

"Creativity, Discovery and Risk - Nobel Prizes Past and Future"

In his lecture on May 13 at the Brno University of Technology, Dr. Heeger
will focus on creativity and discovery in science and the close association
of creativity with risk-taking in scientific research. He will use examples
from his life to illustrate creativity, and will distinguish discovery and
creativity in past Nobel Prizes. He will also summarize the early discoveries
in the field of semiconducting and metallic polymers, and the risks
associated with that early work. His lecture will focus on some of his
current scientific and entrepreneurial activities that range from polymer
based solar cells to biosensors. His talk will conclude with advice to young
and aspiring scientists.

Professor Alan J. Heeger

Widely known for his pioneering research in and the co-founding of the
field of semiconducting and metallic polymers, Professor Heeger is also the
recipient of numerous awards, including the Nobel Prize in Chemistry (2000),
the Oliver E. Buckley Prize for Condensed Matter Physics, the Balzan Prize
for the Science of New Materials, the Eni Italgas Prize for Energy and the
Environment, the President's Medal for Distinguished Achievement from the
University of Pennsylvania, the Chancellor's Medal from the University of
California, Santa Barbara, and honorary doctorates from more than a dozen
universities in the United States, Europe and Asia. He is a member of the
National Academy of Science (USA), the National Academy of Engineering (USA)
and a foreign member of the Korean Academy of Science.

Prof. Heeger has more than 800 publications in scientific journals and
holds approximately 50 patents.

His research group in the Center for Polymers and Organic Solids
continues to focus on the science and technology of semiconducting and
metallic polymers. Current interests also include biosensors for the
detection of specific targeted sequences on DNA, the detection of specific
proteins and the detection of biologically relevant small molecules.

The Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series

The Honeywell-Nobel Laureate Lecture Series is part of Honeywell's
Science Education Initiative, an effort designed to inspire the next
