Student Research Enhancement Scheme (SRES)

The funding scheme entitled “Student Research Enhancement Scheme” (SRES) is launched by School of Graduate Studies (GS) in 2017 to further enhance student research training and to support the conduct of inspiring research, with special emphasis on the quality and impact of research.

 

During the scheme, valuable opportunities will be given to undergraduate (UG) and postgraduate students (both taught postgraduate (TPg) students and research postgraduate (RPg) students) to serve as junior research partners and to work with our faculty members for research projects.

 

Based on the research needs, directors of research centres / research programmes could form research teams with undergraduate and/or postgraduate students. Students who are successfully matched with research project will become junior research partners and work with our faculty members for research projects. Based upon project leaders’ request, SGS could offer financial support to junior research partners.

Financial support with a maximum amount of student stipend up to HK$9,600 could be offered to junior research partners based on the performance of junior research partners and review from the project leaders.
