Research & Knowledge Partnerships

As of 2025, we have contributed to 57 research engagements, partnering with more than 20 universities and institutions in Hong Kong and around the world. Together, we have supported student- and faculty-led research, from dissertations to funded projects and grant proposals. From public policy and mental health to language development and housing inequality, these collaborations ensure that the lived experiences of ethnically diverse communities help shape research, funding, and meaningful change.
