3 Significant Support for Research & KT
Significant Support for Research & KT
Substantial Donations & UGC's Research Matching Grant
The University Grants Committee (UGC) launched this Grant in August 2019 to encourage community and industry contributions to university research work.
In the first processing cycle of the Grant, Lingnan had presented $44 million in donations for matching, with $42 million matching grants approved. The two sums will together support worthy causes of building up strong Research Centres, economic policy research, projects to revitalise cultural heritage, intergenerational
research projects and student research work. These are good testimonies to community support for our research and KT work.
In the second processing cycle, another $13 million has been presented for matching, with $8.6 million matching grants approved, including the generous donation for the “Lam Woo Research Fund” from the Lam Kei On Memorial Trust for the University to foster junior academic staff in advancing the University’s scholarly reputation.
