The HK Prize is one of Asia’s premier awards, drawing thousands of applicants annually. Winners receive a substantial monetary award and have access to Hong Kong’s premier research facilities. Moreover, they are encouraged to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and science promotion activities. The symbol of the HK Prize, expressed both in the award logo and the trophy conferred on winners, juxtaposes two precious elements: a pearl and a pierced jade amulet, with positive connotations in both Chinese and Western contexts. The non-governmental merit-based award aims to promote scientific innovation, international cooperation and high moral conduct standards.

15 prominent academics from 10 different countries have joined forces to nominate five imprisoned Hong Kong pro-democracy leaders for the 2022 Nobel Peace Prize.
