On September 15, the list of winners of the 2022 " Science Exploration Award " was announced. School of Engineering, China Ocean University Professor Liu Yong won this honor and became the first scientist in the school to win the award.
"Science Exploration Award" was established in 2018. It is a public welfare award led by scientists and funded by Tencent Foundation. It is aimed at the fields of basic science and cutting-edge technology, and supports young scientific and technological workers 45 years old and under working full-time in mainland China and Hong Kong and Macao.
The award selects no more than 50 winners every year, and a total of 200 outstanding young scientists have been funded in the five years by 2022. There are ten fields of awards, namely: Mathematical Physics , new chemical materials, astronomy and geology, life sciences, medical science, information and electronics, energy and environment, advanced manufacturing, transportation and construction, and cutting-edge intersection. Professor Liu Yong is one of the winners in the field of transportation and construction.
"Science Exploration Award" has its own unique positioning, adhering to the purpose of "facing the future, rewarding potential, and encouraging exploration", encourage young scientific and technological talents to explore the "no man's land" of basic science and cutting-edge technologies, and support young scientists to carry out original and leading research.
Since its establishment, this award has attracted widespread participation from the science and technology and education sectors. Academicians of the two academies and university presidents, and international grand prize winners such as Nobel Prize , Turing Prize , Fields Prize and other international grand prize winners participated in the nomination and recommendation.
