Current Major Grants
Areas of Excellence (AoE) Scheme, Theme-based Research Scheme (TBRS) and Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) are large-scale
group research grants awarded by Hong Kong Research Grants Council. The grants support internationally recognized research expertise
in order to develop areas of excellence that can help maintain and enhance Hong Kong’s overall development. They also support research
areas of strategic importance for Hong Kong’s long-term development, and encourage out-of-the-box cross-disciplinary projects.
Partner State Key Laboratory (PSKL) and Hong Kong Branch of Chinese National Engineering Research Center (CNERC) are national
research laboratories approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China.
