Seed funding via HKUST-KTH Global Knowledge Network Awards 2024
Do you, as academic staff, have a project you want to realise in cooperation with one of KTH's strategic partner universities, the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST)? The call for applications for the KTH-HKUST seed fund is open from 3 April to 3 May 2024, 23:59 UTC. The seed fund is open for all research areas at KTH.
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and KTH Royal Institute of Technology are offering faculty research grant awards through their partnership on the Global Knowledge Network. The HKUST-KTH Global Knowledge Network Awards are intended to provide HKUST and KTH faculty teams with initial financial support for collaborative research explorations. These grants have the potential to create new or expanded research partnerships, develop a cutting-edge scholarship to create academic and societal impact and attract external funding.
These international research exploration seed grants will help support early-stage research projects or capacity-building efforts to establish and sustain long-term collaborations and secure extramural funding.
- Each grant requires at least one PI from HKUST and one from KTH. Additional collaborators are welcome but not required.
- Grants are open to any HKUST-eligible Principal Investigator and KTH-eligible Principal Investigator from any academic discipline.
- In this round, no specific research themes are required.

Applications are open to any HKUST-eligible Principal Investigator and KTH-eligible Principal Investigator.
Graduate students, post-docs, and research assistants/associates are not eligible to apply as Principal Investigators.
