Description
The Kan Tong Po Fellowship is run by the Royal Society with support from a donation by Professor Yuet Wai Kan FRS. It funds visiting fellowships that contribute to scientific research and education at five Hong Kong universities through collaboration with scientists in the UK or USA. Visits may take place in either direction, supporting a single collaborative project and the potential for a longer-term partnership.
The scheme supports research within the Royal Society’s natural sciences remit, including biological and biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and physics. Clinically qualified scientists may apply, but clinical or interventional research on humans, social sciences and humanities are not supported. The Society encourages applications from a wide range of backgrounds, perspectives and experiences.
