Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2021

The HKETO Berlin held an online event on November 5, 2020 introducing the newly established Hong Kong Laureate Forum (HKLF) to Hungarian students and young scientists interested in study and research opportunities in Hong Kong. The inaugural HKLF is scheduled to take place from November 15 to 20, 2021 at the Hong Kong Science Park.

Presenting a unique opportunity to experience Hong Kong’s excellent research opportunities, the HKLF is set to be a “world-class academic exchange event for young scientists to connect the current and next generations of leaders in scientific pursuit”. Some 200 young scientists from around the world will be able to join the Forum together with some 20 distinguished Shaw Prize recipients from the fields of astronomy, life science and medicine or mathematical sciences. Registration for the inaugural Hong Kong Laureate Forum is open until December 13, 2020. More details can be found at https://hklaureateforum.org/en/forum-2021/forum-overview.

The HKLF represents just one out of many opportunities to benefit from Hong Kong’s distinctive institutions and study programmes. Hong Kong is an international metropolis which offers English teaching at high international standards in curriculum design, quality teaching, academic freedom, and institutional autonomy. Various scholarship opportunities open the doors to Hong Kong’s unique “East meets West” culture, including the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Scholarship, the self-financing Post-Secondary Education Fund and the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme.
