HKUST-UNSW Global Research Impact Program & Global Knowledge Network Awards
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and The University of New South Wales (UNSW) have established the HKUST-UNSW Global Research Impact Program and Global Knowledge Network Awards to facilitate and support joint initiatives that will strengthen the two universities’ strategic priorities as well as develop multi-disciplinary cutting-edge research to create academic and societal impact. We invite proposals from researchers in all disciplines at HKUST and UNSW.
In this round of the awards, applicants are encouraged to submit funding proposals for innovative and sustainable programs built around collaborative research linking HKUST and UNSW. Proposals should be sustainable in the long-term with a plan for engagement that includes leveraging external funding and publication outputs. In this round, up to four (4) proposals will be funded. Each successful proposal may receive up to the equivalent of HKD 40,000 from HKUST and AUD 8,000 from UNSW for a total of approximately HKD 80,000/AUD 16,000 for the joint project.
