The Damo Academy Young Fellow Award, initiated by Alibaba's Damo Academy in 2018, is a public award aimed at discovering and supporting young Chinese scientists under 35 who play an important role in promoting technological progress. The award encourages scientists to take on key roles in major scientific breakthroughs and serve as role models, inspiring more to engage in scientific research.

The Promising Scientist Award is a sub-award of the Damo Academy Young Fellow Award. It recognizes individuals with the potential to address key scientific challenges and supports their efforts to achieve new research heights.
