The Innovation & Technology Commission today invited people in Hong Kong with significant achievements in science and technology to submit entries for the State Technological Invention Award and the State Scientific & Technological Progress Award.
Both are award categories under the State Science & Technology Awards. The commission is entrusted by the National Office for Science & Technology Awards to co-ordinate nominations from Hong Kong for the two awards.
The awards, which are highly prestigious in the national science and technology sector, recognise outstanding contributions to science and technology advancement by individuals and organisations, the commission said.
They also stimulate the enthusiasm and creativity of those working in science and technology, and aim to build an innovative and world-leading scientific and technological country, it added.
Eligible local scientists and technologists are encouraged to submit entries on or before May 26.
