What is the Hongkong Prize?

The hongkong prize is one of the world’s leading science awards. It recognizes outstanding research in areas such as artificial intelligence, life and health, new materials and energy, and advanced manufacturing. It also supports scientists by bringing them to hongkong, where they can work with local colleagues in universities and labs. The hongkong prize is very competitive and has strict rules. If you are interested in winning this award, it is important to work hard and participate in extracurricular activities.

During the visit, they will get to know hong kong’s culture and history. The prize will cover travel expenses and a study grant. They will also be able to experience hongkong’s food and entertainment scene. In addition, finalists will receive a book voucher and free admission to ICAS events.

This year’s finalists include an award-winning filmmaker who directed To My Nineteen-Year-Old Self and a forensic expert who developed liquid biopsy technology, which can detect cancer faster. Others are dedicated to social justice and community service, including a founder of a nonprofit that shelters homeless adults and a professor who teaches students about sexuality.

The prize’s logo juxtaposes a pearl with a pierced jade amulet, symbolizing the prize’s aim to encourage scientific researchers and entrepreneurs in Hong Kong to pursue innovative exploration, establish themselves in the country, serve society, and contribute to the world. In order to ensure the integrity of the review process, the HKAI’s board, which consists of the Review Committee and Compliance Oversight Team, makes all decisions regarding the prize.

The winners of the hongkong prize are selected by an independent review panel. The Selection Committee will examine the candidates’ academic achievements and their impact on transforming R&D outcomes in Hong Kong. The results of the review are published through official channels and announced during an award ceremony. The award money, plaque and trophy are then presented to the winners. If any of the awardees breach the charter, the HKAI’s Board has the right to terminate their contracts and withdraw the prize money. The HKAI is sponsored by Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited.
