Research and Development

In accordance with our vision and mission, CUHK offers a wide range of research programmes in different subject areas and strives to offer all academic staff the opportunity to participate in consultancy and collaborative projects with the industry. CUHK has always put into practice a liberal policy to allow for breadth and depth in research. Research activities at CUHK cover several dimensions: laterally by encompassing all subjects offered at CUHK, vertically by integrating staff research into teaching and longitudinally by ranging from upstream research to midstream development.

The Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer Services (ORKTS) supports researchers and their collaborators and promotes knowledge development and transfer. ORKTS provides practical services and support to CUHK researchers by facilitating the formulation and execution of research, intellectual property and ethics policies, supporting innovative and entrepreneurial projects by faculty members, researchers and students and the development and licensing of CUHK’s intellectual property.
