Established by the Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) in 2014, the award is named after famous Vietnamese scientist Professor Ta Quang Buu (1910-1986).
The award honors individuals and groups who have carried out exceptional scientific research and published exemplary scientific research papers in prestigious international journals.
Asian Scientist 100 is the annual listing of the region's top researchers, academics and innovators. Now into its third consecutive year, the list consists of early career and veteran scientists who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. Honorees run the gamut from mathematicians to climate scientists, particle physicists to biologists, highlighting the diversity of the research scene in Asia.
Each of the 100 honorees on this list has won a national or international prize in 2017 for their scientific research or leadership. The prize must involve a competitive selection procedure.
Together, they represent the best of what Asia has to offer the scientific community at large, stated the magazine on its website.
"The quantity and quality of research coming out of Asia has increased significantly in recent years. In showcasing the best that Asia has to offer the world, we hope that the Asian Scientist 100 list will inspire young scientists across Asia," quoted Dr. Juliana Chan, the founder and editor-in-chief of Asian Scientist Magazine on its website.
"Because science is an increasingly global and networked endeavor, this list also opens up opportunities for international collaboration."
