Both the PSHK Honorary Membership and PSHK Fellowship awards were established in 2018. The PSHK Honorary Membership recognizes individuals who have or have been engaged in the community of physical sciences or related fields in Hong Kong and demonstrated outstanding leadership in or service to physics-related education, research or applications in Hong Kong and/or meritorious contributions to PSHK. The PSHK Fellowship recognizes individuals who have or have been engaged in the community of physical sciences or related fields in Hong Kong and demonstrated exceptional scientific achievements in physics-related research and recognitions by his/her professional peers.
