Outstanding Science students awarded innovation and technology scholarships to broaden their horizons overseas
Year
three Science students Kwok Yan-yi (Chemistry) and Chan Wing-sing
(Applied Biology) have been granted scholarships under the Innovation
and Technology Scholarship Award 2017 scheme. They will each receive a
scholarship of up to HK$150,000 to join overseas attachment programmes
or service projects.
Kwok
Yan-yi plans to study the Health and Society Study Abroad Programme
offered by The King’s College London for one semester starting in
January 2018. Yan-yi said the historic College is renowned for its
cutting-edge technologies in health science. She looks forward to this
overseas experience which will help in her postgraduate studies in
related medicinal chemistry fields. Yan-yi would like to express her
gratitude to Associate Dean of Science Dr Daniel Kwong for his guidance,
which inspired her to pursue her particular research path.
Chan
Wing-sing plans to study courses on ecology and conservation offered by
the School of Biological Science of The University of Auckland, New
Zealand, for one semester starting in February 2018. Wing-sing likes
terrestrial ecology, with a particular interest in the development of
conservation in New Zealand. He hopes that the forthcoming experience
will enable him to compare the ecological research conducted in Hong
Kong with that in New Zealand, and help his further studies in
terrestrial ecology and conservation.
The
scholarship award gives recognition to outstanding science
undergraduates in universities in Hong Kong and provides them with an
opportunity to widen their exposure or gain industry experience.
Nominated by the presidents and vice-chancellors of their respective
universities, the student candidates went through a selection committee
to receive the scholarship award.
