About the Alliance

As endorsed by the Research Grants Council (RGC), HKRFA was established in 2025 to consolidate the strengths of RGC research fellowship awardees for the better development of Hong Kong’s higher education sector. It serves as a platform to facilitate collaboration, innovation and sharing of successful experience and research accomplishments to generate greater impact. It also helps promote the visibility and identity of RGC research fellows, and foster the culture to nurture the next generation of researchers in Hong Kong for excellence and innovation.
