Dr Samuel Yin, the owner of Sea Eagle, is
the Founder of the Tang Prize Foundation.
Named after China’s inspirational Tang
Dynasty (618-907), the aim of the initiative is
“to encourage more research that is beneficial
to the world and humankind, promote Chinese
culture, and make the world a better place.”
He established the Tang Prize Foundation
in 2012 to recognise and support research in
four major fields: sustainable development,
biopharmaceutical science, sinology (the study
of China through its language, literature and
history) and the rule of law.
Dr Yin backed up his goal with a multi-
million dollar endowment to the Foundation.
Individuals or institutions that are judged
to have contributed the most creative and
influential research, receive generous rewards
and further grants to promote on-going
research and talent development.
At US$1.7 million, the prize money put
aside for each of the four award categories
exceeds that of the Nobel
Prize, although Dr Yin deliberately chose
disciplines that complement the famed
Swedish awards.
