In a previously released award message, UNESCO said that Hu Hailan "was awarded for her major discoveries in neuroscience. Her work has contributed to the development of a new generation of antidepressant drugs."
Hu Hailan said at the reception held by the Permanent Mission of China to UNESCO on the 21st that the "World Outstanding Women Scientists Award" reflects the purpose of UNESCO, and hopes that more young women can learn about science and love through this award.

In addition, UNESCO invited a total of 10 winners of the award in 2020 and 2021 to attend and present their awards. Affected by the new crown epidemic, no offline award ceremony was held in these two years.
Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, said at the award ceremony that the world needs science, and science needs women. Science must be more and better open to women, starting at pivotal moments in education and careers.
The "World Outstanding Female Scientist Award" was jointly established by UNESCO and the French L'Oréal Group in 1998. It is awarded annually to 5 female scientists from all continents who have made outstanding contributions to scientific progress, aiming to recognize their outstanding achievements. and support their research careers.
