The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is committed to establishing global networks to effectively advance its education and research development while enhancing academic and cultural exchanges. PolyU two projects have received support from the PROCORE - France/Hong Kong Joint Research Scheme 2024/25.
Led by scholars from the Department of Building and Real Estate and the Department of Management and Marketing, one project will explore non-destructive techniques to optimise surface moisture for self-enhanced 3D printable materials. Another awarded project will focus on promoting dietary environmentalism. Both projects will collaborate with French experts for 2 years.
