The hongkong prize is one of the most prestigious prizes in Asia. It honors scientists whose work has had a significant impact on society. It is open to researchers worldwide and is selected through a rigorous peer review process free from sponsorship or special committee influence. The prize is designed to encourage scientific breakthroughs that can have a meaningful impact on society and contribute towards the sustainable development of the world. The hongkong prize is an extremely competitive contest and applicants should carefully read the rules before applying.

In the past, HK Prize winners have accomplished incredible things such as founding an organization that provides shelter for homeless adults or creating liquid biopsy. The judging panel of the HK Prize is comprised of experts who spend months reading through applications and coming up with their three top picks. They also engage in a six-week back-and-forth dialogue before choosing the winner. Dorothy K. Gordon, an economist and chairwoman of UNESCO’s Information for All Program, explains that Chen is humble, intelligent and open to new ideas. She says that it’s a “truly impressive” accomplishment to win such an esteemed award.

Aside from being a prestigious award, the HK Prize is also a great way to boost the career prospects of the winning scientist. The winner receives a cash award, access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities, and certificates and trophies. In addition, they can use the name of the award to enhance their reputation and credibility as a researcher. Not to mention, they can attract a lot of potential funders for their research.

This year’s HK Prize winners include a number of local and international organizations and individuals who have contributed to the social and cultural life of the city. China Daily Hong Kong Edition, for example, won four awards in the Best Arts and Culture News Reporting category, showcasing the depth of its coverage on various cultural events in Hong Kong.

The HK Prize was established in 2012 and is a joint initiative by the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, a government agency, and the Hong Kong Academy of Performing Arts. The HK Prize is awarded to a maximum of 10 engineering students in the Higher Diploma and Associate Degree programmes of accredited/recognised higher education institutions.
