WUN countries · Asia
Research funding opportunities available from Hong Kong SAR, China, including those provided by its government, research councils, and foundations.
“Open to apply now” covers rolling schemes (no fixed deadline — the funder accepts applications all year, e.g. most DFG programme pages) and calls whose published deadline is still ahead. Closed (past-deadline) rows stay listed at the bottom for reference.
Every WUN member also has access to the shared WUN Research Development Fund.

Funding figures are copied from the official page only — “Not stated” means the page we archived lists no amount for this scheme (most DFG programme pages carry none), not that it is unfunded; “Not yet gathered” means we have not captured that page yet.
