State Key Laboratories

In 1984, China established the State Key Laboratory Scheme. Its premise is to enable the country's most accomplished scientists and scholars to conduct pioneering research to further support China's technological and economic development. With the approval of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, CUHK has established five state key laboratories.

Focused Areas of Research

To enhance the University’s research and academic strengths, as well as to employ them for the benefits of the community, CUHK identified five research areas in its strategic plan in 2006 for focused investment and development.
