Description
The Inter-Institutional Development Scheme (IIDS) aims to strengthen research capability among academics at Hong Kong's local self-financing degree-awarding institutions. The scheme funds the organization of workshops or short courses—typically lasting several days to several weeks—facilitated by visiting scholars and experts. The primary objectives are to foster intensive scholarly exchange, keep participants updated on emerging research topics, and encourage collaboration among local institutions. Activities must be open to other local self-financing degree-awarding institutions, and ideally to all institutions in Hong Kong.
