The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is committed to promoting cutting-edge research and talent training through international research collaboration. Two PolyU projects have received grants under the Germany/Hong Kong Joint Research Scheme to promote research collaboration between the two places through travel funding.
The two PolyU projects are:
Project Title |
High-order energy stable and convergent algorithms for mean curvature flow and related problems |
Hong Kong Principal Investigator |
Prof. LI Buyang, Professor of the Department of Applied Mathematics at PoylU |
German Principal Investigator |
Prof Balázs Kovács /University of Paderborn |
Funding Period |
2 years |
Total Amount Awarded by RGC |
HK$85,800 |
Project Title |
Development and Validation of an Adaptive Neurofeedback Interface Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Modulate Cortical Excitability |
Hong Kong Principal Investigator |
Dr ZHANG Jiaqi, Research Assistant Professor of the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences at PolyU |
German Principal Investigator |
Dr David MA Mehler /RWTH Aachen University |
Funding Period |
2 years |
Total Amount Awarded by RGC |
HK$59,200 |
Hong Kong Principal Investigators could use the RGC grants to support justified research visits of research postgraduate students to partner institutions, in order to enhance the students’ training and opportunities for overseas experience.
The Germany/Hong Kong Joint Research Scheme, launched in 1996 by the Research Grants Council (RGC) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), aims to promote research collaboration between Hong Kong and Germany by providing researchers in the two places with one-year or two-year travel grants.
