Five research projects led by PolyU Science scholars have been funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Research Grants Council (NSFC/RGC) under the Joint Research Scheme (JRS) and the new Collaborative Research Scheme (CRS) 2022/23 Exercise.
Under the Collaborative Research Scheme, two projects have been awarded a total amount of HK$7.164 million. While under the Joint Research Scheme, three research projects have received total funding of HK$3.555 million. The research projects cover topics in information technology, new material science and applied mathematics.
The NSFC/RGC supports research projects jointly proposed by Mainland and Hong Kong researchers for their scientific merit. The CRS, which was newly introduced in 2022/23, aims to support larger-scale collaborative research across disciplines and/or across universities in the Mainland and Hong Kong with a view to enhancing research output and impact.
