The Future Science Prize aims to promote the development of basic science and to recognise scientists who have made outstanding contributions. It is proudly celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.
The first episode of the programme will present the winning research results of this year’s three Prizes – the Life Science Prize, the Physical Science Prize and the Mathematics and Computer Science Prize. It will also review the development of the Prize over the past nine years. In fact, five of the 46 laureates are Hong Kong scientists. They are Professor Dennis LO Yuk-ming, Professor Kam-biu LUK, Professor Kwok-yung YUEN, Professor Malik PEIRIS and Professor Ngai-ming MOK. Just like all other laureates, they demonstrate their passion and dedication to science, and contribute to the advancement in science jointly.
Science prizes not just mean recognition for achievements. What’s more, they create platforms for scientists from different disciplines to meet, exchange ideas and inspire each other, and to enlighten the next generation.
Entering its tenth year, the Future Science Prize, an annual mega event for the scientific community, is held in Hong Kong again this year.
Professor Qiang JI, Professor Xing XU and Professor Zhonghe ZHOU are jointly awarded the Life Science Prize this year for their in-depth research on fossil evidence discovered in western Liaoning, China, which supported the development of the hypothesis of the origin of birds from dinosaurs into a theory widely accepted by international science community.
The research by the three scientists revealed the close connection between dinosaurs and birds in body structure, behaviour and evolution. This is not only a major breakthrough in palaeontology, but also an occasion for scientists to take a fresh look at the process of the evolution of life.
