FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AsianScientist (Mar. 8, 2018) – Now into its third consecutive year, the Asian Scientist 100 (2018 edition) is a handpicked selection of 100 prize-winning Asian researchers, academicians, innovators and business leaders from across the Asia Pacific region.
To be acknowledged on this list, honorees must have received a national or international prize in 2017 for their scientific research. This prize must involve a competitive selection procedure. Alternatively, in the same period, the honoree could have made a significant contribution in scientific discovery or leadership that has benefited either academia or industry.
Spanning a diverse range of industries in science and technology, this year’s selection comprises honorees from China, India, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. While the AS100 is by no means exhaustive, it showcases the exciting science taking place in Asia and raises the profile of researchers that are making invaluable contributions to their fields.
“The quantity and quality of research coming out of Asia has increased significantly in recent years. In showcasing the best and brightest that Asia has to offer the world, we hope that the AS100 list will inspire young scientists across Asia,” said Dr. Juliana Chan, the founder and editor-in-chief of Asian Scientist Magazine. “Because science is an increasingly global and networked endeavor, this list also opens up opportunities for international collaboration.”
The list, in no order of merit, is available online here. For media enquiries, please contact our managing editor at [email protected].
