USyd-CUHK Ignition Grants
(For CUHK and USyd faculty)
Deadline: 29 September 2023 (21:59 HKT / 23:59 AEST)
As strategic partners, The University of Sydney (USyd) and The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) are committed to achieving impact through collaboration in research and education.
The Ignition Grants, formerly known as the Partnership Collaboration Awards, support researchers from USyd and CUHK to facilitate and support collaborative projects that develop multidisciplinary cutting-edge research to create academic and societal impact. These grants are designed to provide researchers, in particular early- and mid-career researchers, with the opportunity to work with our strategic partner in developing joint research projects. It is expected that all funded projects will evolve into larger scale projects, sustained by leveraging external funding. Evidence of external funding submissions will be required in the final project reports .
Proposals from all research areas are welcome. Projects which are multidisciplinary in nature or seek to address the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are highly encouraged.
For each successful application, USyd and CUHK will contribute up to AUD10,000 and HK$60,000, respectively. Based on available funding, we expect to award up to five (5) projects.
