About
Outline
On 20 November 2015, the RGC Hong Kong launched the invitation for applications under the EC-RGC collaboration scheme for research and innovation 2016/17. The collaboration scheme aims to foster EU-Hong Kong collaboration in academic research and to support the participation of researchers in institutions funded by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in Hong Kong in joint research projects conducted under Horizon 2020. The RGC will reserve an annual budget of around HK$9 million (or 1 million euro) for the 2016/17 exercise.
Hong Kong partners in a successful proposal submitted in response to the 2016-17 Horizon 2020 call can apply. The call covers both basic and applied research projects through "research project proposals" in science disciplines (viz biology and medicine, engineering and physical sciences) and "exchange proposals" in all disciplines. Applications should include a summary of the proposal submitted to the EC and research work undertaken by the Hong Kong team, to be signed by the coordinator of the Horizon 2020 project and the EC's official notification of the proposals being funded.
