Nomination of Karolinska Institutet Investigators
Workshop: Seed Funding for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine Research 2016-17
To tangibly support the University of Hong Kong (HKU) – Karolinska Institutet (KI) collaborative projects, three seed funding schemes have been established:
i. Impactful Scheme (up to $3 million for 3 years per project; up to 2 projects);
ii. Early Development Scheme (up to $0.5 million for 1 year per project; up to 2 projects), and;
iii. Sponsorship of Workshop (up to $0.5 million for per project).
All professoriate staff in the University may submit applications for the above schemes, and one of the co-investigators of each application must be from the KI. Please find the detailed information about the objectives, eligibility, application procedures and selection criteria for the above programmes at http://www.ldsrc.hku.hk/files/filemanager/file/2016-04/Scheme-rules-20160421.docx. The application form can be downloaded at http://www.ldsrc.hku.hk/files/filemanager/file/2016-04/Application-form-seed-funding-20160421.docx.
To enhance existing collaboration and nurture new collaboration, a workshop will be organized in October 2016 so as to line-up our HKU scientists with KI investigators. The objective of the workshop is to allow HKU scientists to have more focused and in-depth discussions and interactions with the KI Investigators, in order to develop and promote collaborative research between HKU and KI in the area of stem cell & regenerative biology.
I should be grateful if you would nominate a suitable KI investigator, with good experience in the area of stem cell and regenerative biology, to participate in the workshop and help supporting the HKU-KI collaborative projects. You are also encouraged to make full use of the KI investigators’ visit by inviting him/her to deliver talks/seminars, etc.
Upon receipt of your nomination, we shall proceed to invite the proposed investigators officially. Please kindly complete and submit the nomination form (http://www.ldsrc.hku.hk/files/filemanager/file/2016-05/Nomination-form-Workshop-Seed-Funding-20160517.docx) and, if possible, a copy of the brief curriculum vitae of the nominee, to Dr. Thomas Leon, Manager of the Research Centre by June 17, 2016.
