Episode 8: Recap of Future Science Prize Award Ceremony and Future Science Prize Week
2025-05-14
An annual mega event for the scientific community, the Future Science Prize Award Ceremony, was successfully held on 3 November at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Three grand prizes (Life Science Prize, Physical Science Prize, and Mathematics and Computer Science Prize) were awarded to four scientists from Mainland China respectively: Professor DENG Hongkui, Professor ZHANG Tao, Professor LI Yadong, and Professor SUN Binyong.
As in previous years, the Award Ceremony came with the Future Science Prize Week (30 October to 3 November). The 5-day Prize Week gathered elites in the scientific community from around the world and included events such as the Science Symposiums, Science and Technology Forum, and Asian Young Scientist Fellowship Annual Conference. The highlight of the events was a speech on “Acid Catalysis” by Professor Benjamin LIST, the Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 2021.
In order to popularise science at all levels and inspire young people, the organiser specially held the “Dialogue with the Youth” seminar, in which the four award-winning scientists had close interaction with Hong Kong secondary students from different schools. Their sharing of personal learning experiences and scientific research journeys brought the Prize Week to a perfect close.

Technological development at a breathtaking pace has changed various aspects of human lives. Understanding of science is no longer restricted to scientists, but needs to be promoted in a wider context of life.
In order to arouse public interest in science and scientific research, the popular science series of “Science: Creating the Future 2” will introduce in an interesting way the Future Science Prize laureates, including Professor Dennis LO Yuk-ming, Professor Ngai-Ming MOK, Professor YUEN Kwok-yung, Professor Joseph Sriyal Malik Peiris and Professor Kam-Biu LUK from Hong Kong; and the laureates of this year including Professor DENG Hongkui, Professor ZHANG Tao, Professor LI Yadong and Professor SUN Binyong; as well as their research achievements. Their innovative studies show how science affects our daily lives, with a view to creating the future with science together.
