About the Organization
The awarding of the Yidan Prize, and its various initiatives, are governed and managed by the Yidan Prize Foundation. Based in Hong Kong SAR, the foundation ensures the integrity, transparency and sustainability of the prize. The foundation is also responsible for communicating the Yidan Prize vision, and progressing its mission.
The Yidan Prize Foundation was formally established in 2016 by Dr Charles CHEN Yidan, a philanthropist, entrepreneur and lifelong learner. Recognizing the transformative effect education had on his life, he founded the prize to fulfill his dream of helping others benefit too. The idea of the prize came to him after stepping down as Chief Administration Officer of Tencent, which he co-founded in 1998.
