19 postdoc fellows admitted to PolyU under Hong Kong Scholars Program 2022 – the most among local universities
Fifty outstanding postdoctoral fellows have been selected from leading universities in Mainland China as part of the Hong Kong Scholars Program 2022. PolyU has admitted 19 of these scholars, the largest number among all Hong Kong universities that participate in the programme. It marks the 12th consecutive year in which PolyU has recruited the most fellows since the initiative was first launched in 2011.
The programme is jointly run by the Society of Hong Kong Scholars and the China National Postdoctoral Council under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. It aims to pool the talent and research resources of Hong Kong and the Mainland to nurture outstanding postdoctoral fellows, particularly in experimental science and engineering disciplines.
Nineteen academics from PolyU will serve as supervisors to nurture the chosen fellows for two years, as they carry out high-level research work.
