Deadline: 10 March 2023, Friday

The PhD International Mobility for Partnerships and Collaborations Award (PhD IMPAC Award) sponsors PhD students from CUHK and visiting PhD students for short-term research attachment. The award aims to support research collaboration between CUHK faculty members and their international peers in order to drive research excellence at the University, in addition to enriching the international learning experiences of students. Applications for both the inbound and outbound tracks of the award are to be made by CUHK supervisors.

 

Partners & Strategic Areas for Collaboration

The award supports collaborative research with priority partner institutions primarily in the four strategic research areas identified in the University’s Strategic Plan (CUHK 2025), which are China: Tradition and Modernity; Innovative Biomedicine; Information and Automation Technology; and Environment and Sustainability. The priority partners for the current round of application include:

  • Karolinska Institutet, Sweden
  • National University of Singapore, Singapore
  • The University of Auckland, New Zealand
  • The University of Chicago, USA
  • The University of Manchester, UK

While special considerations will be accorded to applications to the above priority partners and those which fall within the four strategic research areas, strong applications to work in other research areas and with other top-tier institutions1 will also be considered.
