Kan Tong Po Fellowship

The Kan Tong Po Fellowship is designed to contribute at the highest level of scientific research and education by awarding Visiting Fellowships each year to scientists. The purpose of this scheme is to stimulate collaborations with leading scientists through one-off visits between the UK or USA and Hong Kong institutions. Applicants can apply for up to £3,000 for a visit of up to three months to facilitate collaboration between researchers based in the UK or USA with academics at five major Hong Kong universities: University of Hong Kong, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, City University of Hong Kong, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. The fellowship supports travel and subsistence costs for these collaborative research visits. The scheme is open to scientists who have a PhD or equivalent research experience and hold a fixed or permanent contract at an eligible organisation in natural sciences fields including biological research, biomedical sciences, chemistry, engineering, mathematics, and physics.
