Strategic Topics Grant

The Strategic Topics Grant (STG) supports collaborative research in specific areas that address important issues for Hong Kong. It adopts a top-down approach, with the current research domain being 'Demographic Change – Ageing Society', underpinned by three key subject areas: Health and Longevity in a Caring Community, Smart Technology and an Ageing Population, and Silver Society, Economy and Finance. Proposals outside these subject areas but within the domain may be considered if exceptionally meritorious.
