Our research activities focus on three areas: 1. Science, Technology, and Innovation Policy; 2. Energy, Environmental, and Sustainability Policy; and 3. Social and Urban Policy. We are particularly keen to explore public policy and governance for critical technologies such as artificial intelligence and the implications for addressing sustainability challenges, including climate change, biodiversity, and the circular economy.
HKPFS provides an annual stipend of HKD 344,400 (approximately USD 44,150) and annual conference and research-related travel allowances of HKD 14,400 (approximately USD 1,840) for four years.
