Fund for Innovative Technology-in-Education (FITE) 2026-29

The University Grants Committee (UGC) has endorsed the continuation of Fund for Innovative Technology-in-Education (FITE) for the 2026/27 to 2028/29 academic years (AYs). This fund requires universities to fund projects aligning with the relevant Key Themes, with flexibility for projects strongly relevant to the overarching theme. The principles of PolyU Education 4.0 (E4.0) initiative closely resemble the new Key Themes of FITE. There are two categories of projects to be supported: Institutional Projects and projects for Inter-institutional Collaborative Activities (IICAs).


IHERD is calling for proposals under the FITE to support the prioritised areas of E4.0. The aim is to strengthen the University’s capacity for education development, and the adoption of a student-centric approach that integrates learning and teaching activities with AI and smart technologies. To facilitate these efforts, the Education Innovation Committee (EIC) will be responsible for assessing and managing FITE proposals.
