What we offer

Study awards

The goal of our study awards is to identify and support a group of talented Hong Kong students and early-career researchers who, through a process of intensive education and exposure to prominent academics in their respective fields, will develop independent and critical abilities and form enduring collaborative partnerships, to enable them to become next generation of leaders of science, technology and medicine in Hong Kong. Eligibility is restricted to permanent Hong Kong residents.

Research fellowships

Senior Research Fellowships and Senior Medical Research Fellowships are designed to relieve scientists of their teaching and administrative duties and allow them to concentrate on research. Clinical Assistant Professorships support the recruitment of outstanding medical graduates who are committed to pursue a career in academic medicine, and Croucher Innovation Awards are substantial grants offered to exceptionally talented scientists to support their research over a period of five years.

Scientific exchange

Advanced Study Institutes enable established scientists to explore new or important topics with international speakers. Our funding scheme for Joint Laboratories encourages researchers in Hong Kong universities and CAS research institutes to work together on highly specific scientific topic. Croucher Summer Courses enable Hong Kong scientists to organise residential courses for international groups of postgraduate students.
