6,167 researchers from more than 60 countries and regions have been recognized this year.

China is number two on the list followed by UK and Germany. Harvard University is the institution with the greatest number of listed leading experts, followed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Stanford University – all of them much bigger institutions than PIK.
