Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer
研究及知識轉移處
The Office of Research Support (ORS) has been renamed as the Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer 研究及知識轉移處 (ORKT) with effect from 1 July 2020.
ORKT provides an expanded scope of research support services and works on Knowledge Transfer (KT) initiatives across the University, including professional work in contract review, protection of intellectual property rights, patent and trademark filing and licensing, in response to UGC’s advocacy for collaborations among the Government, Industry and Universities. The Office also publicises the University’s research and KT achievements, and has initiated the KT Project Fund which has now been elevated to the Innovation and Impact Fund (IIF).
Together with Lingnan's scholars and researchers, ORKT endeavours to create impact beyond academia and extend research outputs to the direct benefits of society.
