Thirteen CEE Project Secure General Research Fund (GRF) and Early Career Scheme (ECS) 2025/26

We are pleased that 13 CEE projects have been awarded a total grant of HK$15 million by the Research Grants Council’s General Research Fund (GRF) and Early Career Scheme (ECS) 2025/2026. Remarkably, CEE accounts for 11 projects among 38 funded PolyU projects from GRF under the field of “Civil Engineering, Surveying, Building & Construction”, securing a total amount of HK$13.1 million.

The General Research Fund (GRF) and the Early Career Scheme (ECS) are both competitive funding programmes administered by the Research Grants Council (RGC) in Hong Kong. They share the common goal of supporting high-quality academic research across a wide range of disciplines in local universities. Both schemes use a rigorous, peer-reviewed selection process to ensure the excellence of funded projects. By providing financial support for research, the GRF and ECS aim to promote academic excellence and advance knowledge within Hong Kong’s higher education sector.

Congratulations to all CEE scholars whose dedication to research excellence made this milestone possible. Looking ahead, CEE remains committed to conducting high-quality research and making meaningful contributions to society.
