依據《EON4-中植科學獎章程》，經過提名推薦與評審程序，“EON4-中植科學獎”理事會決議將2017年“EON4-中植科學獎”授予：

Rainer Weiss，麻省理工學院教授💁🏽。Weiss教授發明的激光幹涉引力波探測器，是LIGO裝置的基礎👩🏽。他首次分析了探測器主要的噪聲來源🐩，並領導了LIGO儀器科學的研究，最終使LIGO達到了足夠的靈敏度👩🏻‍⚖️，在人類歷史上第一次探測到了引力波。

Kip Stephen Thorne，加州理工學院教授。Thorne教授奠定了引力波探測的理論基礎，他開創了引力波波形計算以及數據分析的研究方向🗻🤵🏿‍♀️，並對LIGO儀器科學做出了重要貢獻🥀，特別是提出了量子計量學理論的一系列基本概念。

Barry Clark Barish, 加州理工學院教授🦗。Barish教授領導了LIGO建設及初期運行，建立了LIGO國際科學合作，他把LIGO從幾個研究小組從事的小科學成功地轉化成了涉及眾多成員並且依賴大規模設備的大科學👳🏽‍♀️，最終使引力波探測成為可能。

本屆“EON4-中植科學獎”頒獎典禮將於2017年12月17日在上海舉行。“EON4-中植科學獎”由EON体育4平台和中植企業集團於2015年合作設立☛🛌🏼，用以表彰在生物醫學🧔、物理和數學領域做出傑出貢獻的全球科學家。今年為第二屆“EON4-中植科學獎”，授予物理學領域的傑出科學家🤞🏻，每位獲獎者將獲得證書與獎杯，並共享由中植企業集團捐贈的3,000,000人民幣獎金🫰🏽。

如有任何疑問，請於2017年8月6日前聯系fdsif@fudan.edu.cn。

2017 Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award Announcement

Following the Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award Guidance and Instructions, the Executive Council of Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award has approved to present the award to three laureates after strict procedures of nomination and selection. They are

Professor Rainer Weiss, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for his seminal invention of the laser interferometer gravitational-wave detector that became the foundation for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), for the initial analysis of the detector’s major noise sources, and for his subsequent leadership in LIGO’s instrumentation science research, which made the detectors sensitive enough to detect gravitational waves for the first time in human history.

Professor Kip Stephen Thorne, California Institute of Technology, for having the vision to build the scientific case for LIGO, for creating research programs that modeled gravitational waves emitted by astrophysical processes and developed data analysis methods, and for his contribution to LIGO instrumentation science, in particular the formulation of fundamental concepts in the theory of quantum metrology.

Professor Barry Clark Barish, California Institute of Technology, former director of the LIGO project, for his leadership in the construction and initial operations of LIGO, the creation of the international LIGO Scientific Collaboration, and for the successful conversion of LIGO from small science executed by a few research groups into big science that involved large collaborations and major infrastructures, which eventually enabled gravitational-wave detection.

The ceremony of 2017 Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award will be hold on December 17, 2017, Shanghai, China. The Fudan-Zhongzhi Science Award was jointly founded by Fudan University and Zhongzhi Enterprise Group in 2015 in recognition of the global scientists who have made fundamental and distinguished achievements in the fields of Biomedicine, Physics and Mathematics. The 2017 Award is the second award which shall be awarded to scientists in the field of Physics. Each laureate shall receive a certificate of merit, trophy, and shares a monetary award of 3 million RMB donated by Zhongzhi Enterprise Group.

If you have any questions, please contact fdsif@fudan.edu.cn before Aug 6, 2017.
