“The future of science and technology is dependent on the youth.” As planned, the World Association of Young Scientists (Preparatory) will join hands with International Research Center for Big Data for Sustainable Development Goals to establish “sustainable development award for young scientists” for encouraging integrity, innovation and free exploration across the world by centering on the UN SDGs and the Global Development Initiative. The award aims to support young scientists in shouldering responsibility and playing the leading role and reward young scientists who have made outstanding contributions to the sustainable development and progress of human civilization through major original innovations and key technological breakthroughs. A scientific committee and a judge committee will be established for the award, which will be presented every starting from 2023 at the opening ceremony of each session of WYSS.
