The Yidan Prize champions courageous, committed people who are creating a better world through education.
We bring the world’s most influential minds in education together to learn from each other, innovate and amplify their impact.
Learning benefits everyone. We share proven educational initiatives that promise a wider impact on global societies.
The Yidan Prize was founded in 2016 by Dr Charles Chen Yidan in the belief that education promotes well-being.
Each year the Yidan Prize recognizes individuals, or up to three-member teams, making a profound contribution to education, in two categories:
Yidan Prize for Education Research
HK$30 million (around US$3.9 million)
Yidan Prize for Education Development
HK$30 million (around US$3.9 million)
Human wellbeing correlates to education. We offer a variety of resources for journalists and producers seeking authoritative viewpoints on the future of education and learning.
The Yidan Prize is governed and administered by our Hong Kong SAR-based foundation. The foundation progresses its mission and ensures the integrity, transparency and sustainability of the prize.
