The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has received funding from Germany/Hong Kong Joint Research Scheme 2022/23 for two research projects.

Dr Xiao LI, Research Assistant Professor at Department of Building and Real Estate, was funded two years for project: “Mass customization methodology for high-rise modular buildings: adaptive platform, interactive configurator and decentralized process.”

Dr Junpei ZHONG, Research Assistant Professor at Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, was funded one year for project: “Socio-demographic variables to embodied and emotional experiences in virtual nature: a cross country study.”

The Research Grants Council (RGC) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) joined together in 1996 to promote research collaboration between Hong Kong and Germany. The RGC funds granted to Hong Kong Principal Investigator can be used to support research visits of research postgraduate students to partner institutions, thus enabling them to obtain valuable training and experience from overseas practices. The grant per project per year is set at HK$45,000 for those involving travel of research postgraduate students, and HK$30,000 per year for those not involving students' travels.
