As we all know, the scientific research capabilities of Hong Kong universities are very strong, the number of papers and the citation rate are very high, and all Hong Kong schools are also committed to transforming scientific research results into practical applications, playing a role in promoting and contributing to social development.
The University of Hong Kong
The research team of the State Key Laboratory of Emerging Infectious Diseases of the University of Hong Kong has discovered a mutant strain that is further develop high-yield inactivated vaccine production strains and An attenuated vaccine that can more effectively fight the new coronavirus has brought a major breakthrough.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University
PolyU participates in the national aerospace exploration mission.
Prior to this, my country's "Tianwen-1" Mars rover successfully arrived at the pre-selected landing area in the southern Utopia Plain of Mars with the "Zhurong" Mars rover, leaving a Chinese mark on Mars for the first time!
The reading volume of related topics hit 1 billion, making the top search headlines.
Behind this success is the hard work of the PolyU scientific research team.
The two scientific research teams of PolyU contributed to the topographic survey and evaluation of the Mars landing zone and the development of the falling fire monitoring camera (Mars camera).
On the day that Tianwen-1 successfully landed on Mars, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University issued a congratulatory letter, stating that the success of the exploration mission was an important milestone in the development of the national aerospace industry.
The President of PolyU, Professor Teng Jinguang, stated that he will continue to leverage PolyU's scientific research advantages and spare no effort to contribute to the development of the country.
In November last year, PolyU developed a space instrument for the country's first lunar sample return mission. One month later, this space instrument successfully completed the lunar surface soil sampling for the "Chang'e-5".
Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
HKUST has developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye, which can even surpass the human eye in some cases. It brings new hope for visually impaired patients, blind people and even humanoid robots to obtain vision.
City University of Hong Kong

Why are Hong Kong schools so strong in scientific research?
The reason why the Hong Kong school is so strong in scientific research is that, in addition to the rich knowledge and experience of the researchers themselves, creative ideas and rigorous scientific research attitude, it is also inseparable from one thing-research funding!
To have research results, strong financial support is the fundamental.
From the figure we can immediately see that the input of scientific research funding is directly proportional to the output of the paper. From 1964 to 1990, there were only two universities in Hong Kong, which published 9 to 999 SCI papers each year, and published a total of 10,245 papers. On average, only 38 articles are added each year, and the increase is slow.
Since 1991, the number of universities in Hong Kong has rapidly increased to seven, and the number of SCI papers published each year has increased from 999 to 13,540 in 2013, an average of 545 papers per year, a very high increase. From 1991 to 2013, the total research funding invested by the government was 10.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the total number of SCI papers was 168,178. The total research funding in 2013 was 976 million Hong Kong dollars, which was 14 times the total research funding of 70 million Hong Kong dollars in 1991. The average cost per year for a single paper output is between 50,000 and 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. The total average output per article cost 65,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Sufficient scientific research funds can produce high-quality scientific research results. Do you feel the energy of burning money?
So, what are the sources of funding for universities in Hong Kong?
1 Government support
The funding for higher education of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is roughly composed of two parts: recurrent grants and non-recurring grants.
The former is mainly used for academic activities and related management work in colleges and universities; the latter is mainly used for large-scale engineering projects, campus buildings and facilities maintenance projects.
First of all, the Hong Kong government gives universities The overall allocation. According to the financial budget disclosed by the Hong Kong government earlier, 21/22 will be specifically provided for university education 230.15 billion.
Picture: Taking 19/20 as an example, the subsidy situation of each school
In addition, the Education Grants Committee of the University of Hong Kong provides research grants to universities in the form of "block grants" each year. Research funding accounts for about 23% of the block grants.
2Social groups
In addition to funding from the SAR government, the main source of research funding for universities in Hong Kong is another important source is charity groups, Hong Kong business and industry groups, and alumni groups. , Investment and donation of overseas groups and individuals.
I believe everyone is familiar with this point. If you search for hot news in recent years, you can find information similar to this: On September 16, the Li Ka-shing Foundation wrote to the Li Ka-shing School of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong and the School of Medicine of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. , Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong University of Education, and donated a total of 170 million Hong Kong dollars to support multiple technology projects to help Hong Kong enhance its substantive competitiveness.
These grants and donations explain the reasons for the strong scientific research strength of Hong Kong schools.
With this money, the main expenditure of the Hong Kong school is also spent on academics and research. For example, PolyU’s financial report shows that 70% of university expenditures are in education and scientific research.
