The ASPIRE Prize will be awarded in Vietnam in 2017. Wiley and Elsevier, publishers of scholarly scientific knowledge, are sponsors of the initiative. The winner will receive USD 25,000 in prize money.

"The field of material sciences holds a rich range of applications in various fields," said Mark J. Allin, Wiley's CEO. "We are excited to learn how early career researchers in the Asia-Pacific are opening up new channels for scientific collaboration in the region and across various sectors."

"Young scientists in the region are critical to tackling the world's most pressing challenges and most promising opportunities, which are interdisciplinary issues that know no borders," concluded YoungSuk "Y.S." Chi, Chairman of Elsevier. "Recognizing their work is one way that we can help to encourage further breakthroughs that will be necessary for sustainable human progress and global prosperity."
