Early Career Scheme

The Early Career Scheme (ECS) funds independent research projects for junior academics in Hong Kong, providing up to 5 years of support. It offers two levels of awards: an honorary Early Career Award with $100,000 for outstanding projects, and an additional $50,000 for educational activities. The scheme ensures junior academics compete only among themselves.
