Results of the previous Triennium (2012-15 Triennium)

Introduction

In view of the overwhelming support to the Funding Scheme in the last triennium, the UGC launches another round of the Scheme in the 2016-19 triennium. The objective of the Funding Scheme is to incentivise universities in exploring and developing further in the sector-wide strategic areas of teaching and learning, language enhancement and internationalisation. The funding scheme encourages four types of strategic themes for support on a competitive basis:

  • Innovation
  • Enhancement of student learning experience
  • Enhancement of internationalisation and engagement with Mainland China
  • Language enhancement

Of the 38 successful projects, our colleagues lead in five (5) and join twenty-one (21) projects led by other institutions (~55% success rate).
