Calling for nomination for 2022 “Deep Life Paper” and “SiYuan-Ocean Emerging Leaders” Awards

“Deep Life Paper” and “SiYuan-Ocean Emerging Leaders” Awards were established in 2021 by International Center for Deep Life Investigation (IC-DLI), which is the international platform for communication and collaboration in deep life research.

The purpose of the awards is to recognize significant scholarly contributions and outstanding early career researchers in order to encourage further contributions into deep life research and foster the next generation of researchers in this field. IC-DLI selects five “Deep Life Paper” and two “SiYuan-Ocean Emerging Leaders” annually.

In the past two years, IC-DLI has produced ten “Deep Life Papers” and four young researchers as “SiYuan-Ocean Emerging Leaders”(For more information of past winners, please visit: https://icdli.sjtu.edu.cn/Data/List/Webinar).
