The University of Hong Kong (HKU) is a world-class comprehensive research university, with research activities spanning all major disciplines across our faculties and departments and research centres/institutes.
HKU actively supports ‘blue-sky’ and curiosity-driven research and it aims to nurture the next generation of scholars and researchers.
Collaboration, both within HKU and with leading institutions in the Chinese Mainland and around the world, is a key focus of the University. We have identified Strategic Research Areas and constituent themes to provide a framework for value-added interdisciplinary research.
We encourage the commercialization of our intellectual property through technology transfer, as the practical application of technological advances benefits both the University and the community as a whole.
Research policy at the University is overseen by the University Research Committee, chaired by the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Research). The following units provide support for the development of research at HKU:
