The PolyU Academy for Interdisciplinary Research (PAIR) combines expertise across disciplines to support innovation and find practical solutions to major global and societal issues. PAIR, which is made up of 11 Research Institutes (RIs) and five Research Centres (RCs), was inaugurated at the PolyU InnoTech Open Day. It is the largest research platform of its kind in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area (GBA) to foster interdisciplinary research, partnerships with internationally renowned scholars, and technology transfer.
