Organization
The Steering Committee and the Scientific Committee are the two principal committees of the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards.
The Steering Committee, comprising mathematicians and leaders from different sectors of society, serves as the advisory body and provides support, guidance, and oversight of the Awards. The Executive Committee, which reports to the Steering Committee, is responsible for the operation and administration of the competition. Its Secretariat provides general administrative support to the Awards.
The Scientific Committee, comprising world-renowned mathematicians, is the academic and adjudicating body of the competition. The Screening Panel under the Scientific Committee handles the initial review of the submitted project reports, supervises the second and final round of the review process, and liaises with all referees and members of the Scientific Committee regarding the project reports.
