Professor Xie Yi from University of Science & Technology China won the world's outstanding female scientist achievement award.
March 18th local time, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Xie Yi of University of Science & Technology China, and 4 other female scientists from other countries in Paris, Sorbonne, France She was awarded the seventeenth "world distinguished women scientists Achievement Award". Xie Yi is also the fourth Chinese woman scientist to win the prize. At the ceremony, Bokova, director general of the United Nations Educational, scientific and cultural organization, delivered a speech and congratulated the winners. She said that the proportion of women in global researchers is not high, only 30%, and there are still many factors that impede and affect women's work in science, and "the world needs science and science needs women."
in the evening of March 18th local time, the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Professor Xie Yi of University of Science & Technology China and 4 other women scientists from other countries were awarded the seventeenth world outstanding women scientist achievement award at the Sorbonne University in Paris, France.

based on this, the United Nations Educational, scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the L'OREAL group of France jointly established the "World Outstanding Female Scientist Award" 17 years ago to commend the outstanding achievements of women scientists, to fully recognize their outstanding contributions and to support their scientific research. When
published the award, Xie Yi said, "the award of the world outstanding female scientist Achievement Award" is the affirmation to my personal and my research team, and the expectation of my future work, encouraging me to continue to do a good job of research. I will take this award as a new starting point in my scientific research career. When he was interviewed by the press after the news conference, Xie also shared his personal experience. As a scientist, she points out that the most important thing is to sink down and love the cause of science, and that women scientists can do their work better if they are able to bring into scientific research a more careful and more patient and general trait than men.
Xie Yi this time is to use the principle of nano solid chemistry to find new energy materials, found that the two-dimensional ultra thin semiconductor in improving the efficiency of photoelectric conversion and thermoelectric conversion efficiency of the prize. This basic scientific research, if applied to reality, will help to reduce dependence on increasingly scarce fossil fuels, reduce pollution and improve energy efficiency.
the other 4 women scientists who won this year are professor Raja shal - El Mosley, Professor of Labatt Mohammed V University in Morocco, Carol Robinson, Professor of the British University of Oxford, and Tessa Stoll Ki, Professor of the Federal University of South Rio Grande in South Brazil. Bergmann and Professor Molly -S- Seaan I Chet of University of Toronto, Canada. They have made breakthroughs in nuclear physics, mass spectrometry, astronomy and polymer chemistry.
as an important part of the "women for science", co founded by UNESCO and the L'OREAL group of France in 1998, the world distinguished women Scientist Award is awarded annually to all continents (African and Arabia countries, Asia and the Pacific region, Europe, Latin America, North America), and a total of 5. A woman who makes a great contribution to the progress of science.
