APEC Science Prize For Innovation, Research And Education (ASPIRE) 2023

The APEC Science Prize for Innovation, Research and Education (“ASPIRE”) is an annual award which recognises young scientists who have demonstrated a commitment to both excellence in scientific research, as evidenced by scholarly publication, and cooperation with scientists from other APEC member economies, including inclusive and interdisciplinary collaborations.

The nomination theme for ASPIRE 2023 is “Inclusive Science, Technology and Innovation for a Resilient and Sustainable Environment”. This theme focuses on advancing environmental resiliency and sustainability through science, technology, and innovation that centres on diverse perspectives and promotes an inclusive scientific ecosystem. Unlocking the diversity of thought and experience can expand the boundaries of scientific knowledge, which is vital to fundamental research and underpins resilient and sustainable solutions to global environmental and societal challenges.
