Description
This scheme provides funding to support the organisation of locally held, inter-institutional and/or interdisciplinary conferences or seminars aimed at postgraduate students from UGC-funded universities in Hong Kong. The primary goal is to promote collaboration and networking among postgraduate students across institutions and disciplines, and to enable engagement with distinguished scholars from outside Hong Kong. Funding is specifically intended to cover the travel and accommodation costs of invited non-local guest speakers, thereby enhancing the research culture and academic exchange within the postgraduate community.
