On May 27, the National Science and Technology Day celebration and Innovation Conference was held in Beijing. 10 groups and around 300 scientific and technological workers won the innovation award. Professor Wang Wei, Professor Liu Songyu, Professor Hong Wei and Professor Cao Jinde of Southeast University won the certification of merit. Southeast University ranked second for the number of awards. SEU alumni Yang Huangming won the first prize in innovation.

  

The National Innovation Award is one of the major science and technology awards, besides the National Natural Science Award, the National Technology Award and the National Science and Technology Progress Award. It is only second to the National Highest Science and Technology Award. This award is set for the scientific and technological workers and research teams who have made outstanding achievements in scientific research, technology development, major equipment, engineering research and social services. The prize is awarded every three years, praising 10 research teams and no more than 30 scientific and technological workers who enjoy the benefits of model workers at ministerial and provincial level, and no more than 300 workers receive the certification. In the first conference, researchers from universities and colleges accounted for more than 40% of the prize winners. Tsing University ranked the first place. Southeast University was tied for second with China University of Technology, Peking University and Harbin Institute of Technology.

  

Four professors of Southeast University were praised for their outstanding research achievements in their respective areas.
