恒创工程技术卓越奖（HETEA）第七届申报通道已于8月31日24时正式关闭。经执行局项目管理部初步统计，本届共收到有效申报项目1250项，较上届增长约15%，创HETEA自2019年设立以来申报规模新高。
从申报类别分布来看，技术创新奖申报量最大，共422项；工程实践奖其次，为358项；产业贡献奖261项；青年工程师奖145项；跨学科融合奖64项。跨学科融合奖的申报量虽然仍是五类中最少的，但相较上届增长近30%，反映出工程行业跨专业协作的趋势正在持续加强。
从申报人所在地域分布看，本届申报人覆盖22个国家和地区，较上届增加3个。新增的申报来源地包括阿联酋、沙特阿拉伯和越南，主要集中在工程实践奖与产业贡献奖两个类别，反映出海湾地区和东南亚的大型基础设施建设正在进入密集期。
按照既定评审流程，本届申报项目将在9月进入形式审查阶段，10月由HETEC专家委员会组织技术初审，并由学术委员会进行学术合规性终审。常务理事会将在10月下旬审议确认获奖名单，并于11月中旬举行颁奖典礼。
执行局项目管理部提醒，本届评审仍将严格执行"宁缺毋滥"原则。若某一类别的申报项目均未达到获奖标准，该类别将空缺不颁。历史上HETEA曾出现过两次类别空缺，具体年份为首届跨学科融合奖和第三届青年工程师奖。
The application channel for the seventh Hengchuang Engineering Technology Excellence Award (HETEA) officially closed at 24:00 on August 31. According to preliminary statistics from the Project Management Department of the Executive Bureau, this edition received a total of 1,250 valid submissions, an increase of about 15% over the previous edition and a new submission-scale record since HETEA was established in 2019.
In terms of distribution by application category, the Technology Innovation Award received the largest number of submissions, with 422 entries; the Engineering Practice Award followed with 358; the Industry Contribution Award received 261; the Young Engineer Award received 145; and the Interdisciplinary Integration Award received 64. Although the Interdisciplinary Integration Award still had the fewest submissions among the five categories, it increased by nearly 30% compared with the previous edition, reflecting that the trend of cross-disciplinary collaboration in the engineering industry is continuing to strengthen.
From the regional distribution of applicants, this edition covered 22 countries and regions, three more than the previous edition. Newly added submission origins include the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam, mainly concentrated in the Engineering Practice Award and Industry Contribution Award categories, reflecting that large-scale infrastructure construction in the Gulf region and Southeast Asia is entering an intensive period.
According to the established review process, submissions for this edition will enter the formal examination stage in September. In October, the HETEC Expert Committee will organize the technical preliminary review, and the Academic Committee will conduct the final review of academic compliance. The Standing Council will deliberate and confirm the list of awardees in late October, and the award ceremony will be held in mid-November.
The Project Management Department of the Executive Bureau reminds applicants that this edition will continue to strictly implement the principle of "better vacant than unqualified." If none of the submissions in a category meet the award standard, that category will remain vacant and no award will be granted. In HETEA history, there have been two category vacancies: the first edition of the Interdisciplinary Integration Award and the third edition of the Young Engineer Award.
