Manchester-Chinese University of Hong Kong joint research funds
The University of Manchester and the Chinese University of Hong Kong have a longstanding strategic partnership, with both institutions committed to collaborative research initiatives that provide insight to solve global issues.
Prof Holly Shiels (UoM) and Prof Laura Faulkenberg (CUHK)“By partnering, we can combine knowledge to tackle complex problems from multiple angles. The results of partnered-research have a broader impact, reaching more people and have a greater influence on policy and practice. Collaboration with CUHK on this microplastics project bring together a wider range of expertise and perspectives.”
