Manchester-Chinese University of Hong Kong joint research funds
The University of Manchester and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have a long-running strategic partnership.
Set up in 2015, our joint pump-priming fund supports research collaboration and has enabled many academics to forge strong relationships.
Building on the success of this initiative, the two universities have developed a new Strategic Research Fund. This fund supports larger projects in areas of strategic fit for both institutions that will foster high-level collaboration.
Projects must align with one of the following areas of mutual research strengths: China studies; translational biomedicine; and environment and sustainability.
The Strategic Research Fund is now open for applications.
