v10 Chapter 2163： On the significance of the birth of awards (1/2)
Of course, Durut still didn't answer everyone's questions, his eyes were still clear, his face was still calm, and even a smile that seemed like nothing was hanging on the corner of his mouth.
He glanced across the crowd and said with a smile on his face: ”Since everyone wants to know the reason, let me talk about it.”
”First of all, I think everyone understands that the Scientific Breakthrough Award, in essence, is not a commercial award, but is academic in nature.”
”The meaning of its birth is to recognize people who have made contributions to academics.”
”His roots are in academics! Only by rooting in academics can he survive.”
Speaking of this, Durut paused, and then continued: ”But what I want to say is that so far, the Science Breakthrough Prize has become too commercial.”
”If things go on like this, this will inevitably cause great losses to the gold content of the award.”
”Imagine if an award loses its gold content, how can it survive!”
”You can think about it, compared to when it was first held in 2012, how much has the number of participants in our awards dropped?”
What is the most important thing about an award?
Nothing else, just gold content! It is the source of vitality for awards.
If an award has no gold content, it must not last long!
In my heart, the Science Breakthrough Award is facing such difficulties.
His business aura is too strong, leading to a weaker academic atmosphere.
If things go on like this, it will inevitably be eliminated and replaced by other awards.
”This……”
Hearing Durut's words, everyone's complexion instantly sank.
It is undeniable that although Durut's words are ugly, they are quite reasonable.
Compared to 2012, when the ”Science Breakthrough Award” was first held, more than 200 scholars participated.
As of now, the number of participants in this ”Science Breakthrough Award” has only reached 87!
Although, with the reduction in the number of awards, the odds of the remaining people will also increase significantly.
This is of course a good thing for the rest of the people.
