On 4 January, The UIC Research Grant panel met to discuss the results of the latest batch of internal research funding applications. Eleven senior professors from UIC, Hong Kong Baptist University and the University of Macau attended the meeting.
Vice President of UIC, Professor Zee Sze Yong, delivered an opening speech, emphasizing the importance of scientific research being a key method to improve the quality of teaching while simultaneously nurturing talented researchers. “The UIC Research Grant is an important measure that supports the development of research at UIC”, said Professor Zee. Director of the Office of Research and Graduate Studies, Professor Li Jianhui, next conveyed the aim of the UIC Research Grant, which is to provide seed funds for promising projects to support their applications for various types of governmental funds. Professor Li also elaborated on the evaluation criteria of the UIC Research Grant and the budgeting guidelines. Additionally, he reminded the panel that, during the assessment of applications, they should consider the quality of the projects, their methodology, their research design and the preliminary results.
Applications for the 2017-2018 round of UIC Research Grant funding were submitted in October 2017. The UIC Office of Research and Graduate Studies (ORGS) received 42 applications from the four divisions, and the number of the applications has steadily increased for the past three years. ORGS organized two rounds of review, which include a peer review and an evaluation panel meeting. Two external experts and two internal experts from related specialties undertake the peer review, which was completed in December 2017. After the evaluation panel meeting, 34 projects passed through both assessments, and the amount of recommended funding is approximately 1.6 million RMB. The results will be submitted to the Research Coordinating Committee (RCC) for final evaluation.
The UIC Research Grant was established in 2010 and receives applications every October. The College is able to provide up to 2.8 million RMB to support research projects and related activities, which may include holding seminars, patent applications, publications, short term academic visits and more.
Awards for academic excellence during the 2016-2017 academic year were granted to 530 UIC students during the presentation ceremony on 20 December. There were 17 different types of scholarships presented, amounting to approximately 6.3 million yuan.
President of UIC, Prof Ng Ching-Fai, gave a speech to start the presentation ceremony. “When you are achieving excellent academic performance, do not forget to have a higher pursuit, and also make social contributions,” said Prof Ng. He encouraged students to be well-rounded citizens who can think actively and take responsibility. He also gave praise to the contributions from all staff that work hard to provide students with high-quality learning resources and improved learning environments.
Year Four TESL (Teaching English as a Second Language) student, Feng Zeyu, received the First Class Award and the National Scholarship. She spoke as a representative for all the students awarded scholarships. She expressed her gratitude to her friends, family and teachers at UIC, and hoped that all the students can maintain their excellent performance.
Year Two CTV (Cinema and Television) student, Chan Ka-Hei, was awarded a renewal of her HK School Principal Nomination Bursary as well as the Mr and Mrs Cutrupia Scholarship. She said that the campus life at UIC helped her to broaden her horizons and extend her social circle.
Five foreign students received the Guangdong Government Outstanding Foreign Student Scholarship. Additionally, this year seven students renewed their Full Entrance Scholarship thanks to their continued excellent performance.
The First Class Award was received by 95 students and the Second Class Award was received by 293 students. In addition to five students winning the China Unicom Scholarship, four received the Mr and Mrs Cutrupia Scholarship.
This year, UIC set up two new scholarships: the UIC Hand in Hand Bursary and the Huaxin Scholarship. The UIC Hand in Hand Bursary is donated by alumni and aims at offering support and care to a student whose family is suffering from financial difficulties. The Huaxin Scholarship rewards freshmen who have achieved high scores on the National College Entrance Examination, with the receiver getting a 40,000 RMB deduction in their first year.
