The 2019 prize honors two women from the ASEAN working in the area of the \u201cCircular Economy\u201d.<\/p>\n Circular Economy is defined an economic system aimed at minimising, reusing and recycling waste and making the most of resources. Underpinned by a transition to renewable energy sources, the circular model builds economic, natural, and social capital.<\/p>\n The Science Prize is looking to award two talented young women, ASEAN-based, early to mid-career female professionals in applied science with recognition and monetary awards for their academic and professional achievements. The selection committee will award $20,000 prize to the woman scientist who demonstrates the best application of original scientific research to this year\u2019s theme of the Circular Economy. A second prize of $5,000 will be given to the scientist whose application merits an honorable mention.
