Spotlighting changemakers in education

Innovative ideas and practices in education have the power to change lives. As we welcome new laureates to our global community year after year, we see how their work reaffirms this belief.

 

Celebrate our 2025 Yidan Prize laureates’ remarkable achievements in education research and development with us at our Awards Ceremony. We’ll hear directly from them, as well as our independent Judging Committee, on the solutions helping us build a better world, preceded by a gala performance from the Hong Kong Symphonic Pops with conductor Lio Kuokman.

 

We'll also be joined by Eric Chan Kwok-ki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, who is officiating at our Awards Ceremony. 

 

In case you missed it, watch highlights from our 2024 Yidan Prize Awards Ceremony.
