In the early 1990\u2019s, China\u2019s economic development was still in its initial stage, with limited investment in science and technology, and researchers were living and working under very difficult conditions. In accordance with the spirit of \u201cstrengthening the country through science and technology, extending assistance in times of need\u201d, the Qiu Shi Science and Technologies Foundation awarded scientific awards to original technological achievements and provided assistance to Chinese researchers, earnestly hoping to contribute to the advancement of China\u2019s science and technology.<\/p>\n

Qiu Shi Awards have been bestowed outstanding Chinese scientists, representing the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, medicine and so on. Since 1994, including:<\/p>\n
