TIANJIN, People’s Republic of China – The World Economic Forum will recognize its 2014 Young Scientists Community at the eighth Annual Meeting of the New Champions, taking place in Tianjin, China on 10-12 September. Thirty exceptional scientists under the age of 40 will engage with business and political leaders to contribute their scientific perspective and deliver the most up-to-date trends.

The Annual Meeting of the New Champions brings together more than 1,600 participants from 90 countries under the theme, Creating Value through Innovation.

Ten sessions of the Meeting will feature the Young Scientists. The sessions include:

Each year the Forum identifies the best scientific minds, leading in the pursuit of answers for global impact and the common good. They are honoured for their contributions to advancing the frontiers of science, engineering or technology in areas of high societal impact. More than 250 nominations were submitted from 21 leading global science institutions, including the European Research Council, Nature Magazine, Scientific American Magazine, National Institutes of Health, École Polytechnique Fédérale De Lausanne, Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich, and the Global Young Academy.
