Results of the previous Triennium (2012-15 Triennium)
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:
In July 2016, the UGC announced the call for inter-institutional teaching and learning proposals. In response to it, our colleagues participated in 47 proposals, including 10 led by HKBU in December 2016.
Altogether, UGC received 89 proposals and decided to support 38 for a total HK$255.74 million. Of the 38 successful projects, our colleagues lead in five (5) and join twenty-one (21) projects led by other institutions (~55% success rate). The total funding we received is $42.32 million (16.6% of total funding).
