Established in 2004, the Hang Lung Mathematics Awards (HLMA) is a scheme that encourages students to realize their creative potential and interest in mathematics, and nurture mathematics talents for the community. Over the years, it has attracted more than 2,400 student participants, and many award winners and participants are now working in the field of scientific research, such as exploring how mathematics can promote sustainable development, and making meaningful contributions to society. Since inauguration, HLMA has received more than 400 research papers. Professor Shing Yu Leung, Associate Dean of Science at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Chair of Executive Committee of the HLMA said the program is a precious opportunity for students to learn how to acquire new knowledge; an experience that will benefit their future development. The 2010 HLMA Silver Award winner Brian Chung, and the 2016 HLMA Bronze Award winner Dorothy Cheng also shared their experiences about the unique role and function of mathematics in different sectors, and how the study of mathematics can help open up multiple pathways. 如欲观看梁教授足本版访问 ， 请浏览恒隆数学奖网页 To view the full interview, please visit the HLMA website #Excellence #NurturingNextGen 17 可 持 续 发 展 S U S T A I N A B I L I T Y
