Beijing: Three
scientists from India, Germany and Russia won the 2012 Award for
International Scientific Cooperation at the China's top science
academy Wednesday, Xinhua reported.
Indian professor C.N.R. Rao from Jawaharlal Nehru University,
Herbert Jaeckle from Germany's Max Planck Society and Russian
space physicist G.A. Zherebtsov shared the award for 2012,
launched by the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2007 to
honour foreign scientists for their contributions in Sino-foreign
research cooperation.
Rao is devoted to the research of solid-state and structural
chemistry. He has been awarded for his important contributions in
boosting scientific cooperation between China and India, as well
as raising the scientific capabilities of developing countries,
the Chinese Academy of Sciences said in a statement.
Jaeckle is a world-famous scientist in the fields of molecular
developmental biology. Zherebtsov actively promoted the
construction of a Sino-Russian weather research centre and is
currently working to get Russia involved in a CAS space science
programme, the CAS said.
Founded in Beijing in 1949, the CAS is China's top academic and
research institution for natural sciences.
