A briefing of the Research Student Attachment Programme was conducted.

Mr Weng Qingsong from the Department of Mechanical Engineering shared his collaborative research experience at the University of Cambridge.

Participants actively raised enquiries and exchanged information on the RSAP in the circles of discussion.


To provide prospective participants with essential information and guidance on the application procedures of the Research Student Attachment Programme (RSAP) – second round and the PolyU PhD Scholars International Collaborative Research Fellowship (ICRF), another designated student gathering was held on 17 May in physical mode.

This time, two attachment participants, Mr Weng Qingsong from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Mr Hong Zicong from the Department of Computing, each shared their collaborative research experiences at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom and ETH Zurich in Switzerland. In their sharing, they highlighted their motivations for joining the attachment, as well as an effective approach to writing an attachment proposal and identifying a suitable supervisor. Following, a student group discussion was facilitated to enable direct communication and exchange of useful tips and insights.
