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 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. To enhance existing collaboration and nurture new collaboration, a workshop will be organized on October 13, 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. Details are as follows:
