Shue Yan obtains a HK$15+ million research funding from Research Grants Council


Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HKSYU) has been successful in obtaining HK$15 million funding for 8 research projects under the Research Grants Council (RGC)’s 2022/2023 Competitive Research Funding Schemes for the Local Self-financing Degree Sector, ranking the first by total amount awarded among all participating institutions. This year is also a very  rewarding year for Shue Yan in which the University has received a more-than-double CRFS grant than the last year did. 

Among the 8 successful research proposals, six are funded under the Faculty Development Scheme (FDS), two are under the Institutional Development Scheme Collaborative Research Grant (IDS(C )) ( see table).

All successful projects are in the “Humanities and Social Sciences” discipline aligning to the University mission in promoting digital humanities and reinventing liberal arts education.
