Mainland scholars join HK projects

THE Chinese mainland and Hong Kong yesterday signed an agreement for a five-year program that will give mainland post-doctoral scholars the chance to participate in research projects in Hong Kong universities.

Under the deal announced by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the mainland will select 50 post-doctoral scholars for joint research projects every year from 2011 to 2014.

A ministry statement gave no details on which Hong Kong universities were involved in the program.

The statement said key areas for the program include bio-medicine, information technology, agriculture, new energy and advanced manufacturing.

For each two-year research project, the mainland will annually give each scholar 150,000 yuan (US$22,500) and HK$150,000 (US$20,000) to cover living and research expenses.
