46 CAS/In Brief Award for International Scientific Cooperation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences The CAS Award for International Scientific Cooperation was initiated in 2007 and is intended to commend and honor eminent foreign experts who have made outstanding contributions to facilitate cooperation with CAS in science and technology. It is presented annually. Candidates can be nominated by the President or Vice Presidents of CAS, Institutions within CAS, or Bureaus in CAS headquarters. Awards are given for significant contributions in the following areas: promoting the establishment of strategic partnerships between CAS and foreign scientific organizations; introducing innovative ideas, technology, or methodology that serves to enhance CAS’s competency in addressing key issues in science, technology, and management; introducing innovative talent or highgrade scientists to CAS; or playing an important role in the construction, operation, or management of “big science” facilities. An appraisal committee is organized and is responsible for the evaluation and appraisal of candidates for the award. The CAS President holds the post of chairman of the committee, while relevant leaders and experts of the Academy perform the duties of vice-chairman and committee members. The results are submitted to the President’s executive board for final approval. CAS invites recipients of the Award to a conferring ceremony, usually followed by academic visits. The award is presented by the President of CAS at the annual working conference with leaders from all the institutes. The award has to date been presented to 14 foreign experts, 10 of whom were also recommended for, and received, the China International Science and Technology Cooperation Award. Ten awardees have also been presented with the State Friendship Award by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China. CAS International Cooperation Award for Young Scientists CAS International Cooperation Award for Young Scientists was initiated in 2011 to recognize and award international young scientists and their CAS collaborators who have made substantial progress in research and innovation. It aims to encourage longer-term international partnerships among young scientists, enable broader global networking, and promote CAS’s science and technology innovation agenda. Candidates can be nominated by the President and Vice Presidents of CAS, or CAS Institutions, and Bureaus in CAS headquarters. They are evaluated in four categories: basic research, biology and biotechnology, resources and environment, and high technology. The candidates should be younger than 45 years The 14 winners (2007 to 2011) of Award for International Scientific Cooperation from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. 2011 (L to R): Lonnie G. Thompson (USA), Shin-ichi Kurokawa (Japan), Flemming Besenbacher (Denmark); 2010 (L to R): Aikichi Iwamoto (Japan), Stephen C. Porter (USA), G.Q.

Foreign scientists should possess an official position in an overseas organization and have at least one year of working experience in a CAS affiliate. The CAS collaborator should also hold a full-time research position in a CAS affiliate. Their cooperation should have been under way for at least three years and have achieved at least one of the following outstanding results: demonstrated internationally recognized innovations in a basic research field; developed a key technology, submitted a patents for a new technology, or implemented a technology transfer; solved major scientific and technological problems for the benefits of society; provided key technical solutions in the development or construction of CAS “big science” facilities or other major equipment. The appraisal committee is composed members of the CAS International Scientific Cooperation committee and is responsible for evaluation and appraisal of candidates for the award. The results are submitted to the President’s executive board of CAS for final approval. A formal award-conferring ceremony is organized each year, and President (or Vice President) of CAS presents the award certificates to the awardees.

The first five pairs of young scientists were presented with this award in 2011. CREDIT: COURTESY OF CAS
CREDIT: COURTESY OF CAS Technology Transfer At the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), technology transfer is one of the critical components of its mission to promote reform and innovation, and translate research results into value-added technology and products. Through cooperation with local governments and companies, CAS, together with its many branches and institutes, establishes joint research institutes, R&D centers, centers of technology transfer, and technology incubation centers to promote the local economic and social development. The 29 centers of technology transfer or incubation centers. Achievements in the commercialization of scientific research at CAS (2001–2011), which produced sales revenue of 967.8 billion yuan (US$151.9 billion) and profits of 156.8 billion yuan (US$24.6 billion) for local enterprises.
