Hang Lung Properties Limited announced its partnership with The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) to co-organize the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards (HLMA). This biennial competition aims to empower secondary school students in Hong Kong to realize their creative potential in mathematics and sciences, ignite their passion for intellectual discovery in the interests of society and humankind, and advance the development of STEM education. The Scientific Committee and Steering Committee of HLMA comprise a panel of internationally renowned academic luminaries and educators. This year, HLMA is particularly honored to have Professor Richard Schoen 2017 Wolf Prize Laureate in Mathematics and Distinguished Professor of Mathematics at the University of California, Irvine to join as Chair of the 2021 HLMA Scientific Committee, the academic and adjudicating body of the competition. Professor George Smoot, 2006 Nobel Laureate in Physics and Chair Professor of Physics at HKUST, will take up the position of Chair of the 2021 HLMA Steering Committee, which provides guidance and oversight of the awards. The 2021 Hang Lung Mathematics Awards are now open for registration. Interested students are welcome to form teams and participate on behalf of their schools. Each team will consist of one to five students, and, under the supervision of a teacher, will decide on a suitable mathematics research topic, conduct independent research, and submit a research report by the end of August. All shortlisted teams will be invited to attend an oral defense held in December, after which the 2021 HLMA winners will be decided, and a total of HKD 1 million in prize money will be awarded. Under this partnership, Hang Lung Properties will donate HKD 2.5 million to each edition of the competition, of which HKD 1 million will be set aside as prize money. The remainder will fund academic consultations, professional adjudication, educational resources, guidance and mentoring, and other efforts. HKUST will also offer scholarships for teachers nominated by their schools to pursue a Master of Science in Mathematics for Educators.
