Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to inform you that the Tencent “Xplorer Prize” has been extended to include candidates from Hong Kong. https://xplorerprize.org/
All active full-time researchers (of any nationality) working in Hong Kong (and the Mainland) born after 1st Jan 1974 are eligible. Other requirements and application/ nomination procedures are given in the website. A key selection criterion is the quality and innovation value of the research proposal.
There will be 50 awardees every year, and each will receive RMB 3 million (after tax) over 5 years. This is a “talent prize” and hence the cash may be used for research or personal uses.
Best Wishes,
Professor Andy Hor
Vice President & Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research)
