About Us
Introduction
Hang Lung Mathematics Awards is a highly regarded biennial mathematics research competition for secondary school students in Hong Kong. Founded in 2004 by Hang Lung Properties and The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hang Lung Mathematics Awards has blazed a trail in secondary school mathematics education, encouraging students to realize their creative potential in mathematics and sciences, and stimulating their passion for intellectual discovery.
Over the years, Hang Lung Mathematics Awards has attracted 2,600 students from over 200 local high schools, producing more than 460 research papers, many attaining undergraduate level academic proficiency. Hang Lung Mathematics Awards has made a profound impact in nurturing a cadre of young mathematics talents in Hong Kong. Among our earlier winners, many have completed their studies from top universities in Hong Kong and around the world, and are now making meaningful contributions to society in various sectors, including academia and other professions.
In 2021, Hang Lung Properties teamed up with one of the world’s top young universities, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, as our partner in the next stage of Hang Lung Mathematics Awards’ development. Under this partnership, Hang Lung Properties donates HK$2.5 million to each competition, of which HK$1 million is set aside as monetary prizes, and the remainder goes towards academic consultancy, assessment process, and administration of the competition, as well as education promotion activities. In addition, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology offers tuition scholarships for teachers nominated by the winning schools to enroll in the Master of Science Program in Mathematics for Educators.
Objectives
