Areas of Excellence Projects Two research projects led by CUHK researchers were selected by the UGC as Areas of Excellence Projects in the sixth and seventh rounds of funding exercises: • Centre for Organelle Biogenesis and Function • Centre for Genomic Studies on Plant-Environment Interaction for Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2014 In UGC’s RAE 2014, CUHK achieved promising results with the highest proportion of world leading (top category of 4*) research activities in areas of electrical and electronic engineering, engineering, built environment, and law. The overall percentage of ‘world leading’ and ‘international excellence’ (3*) research activities are 14% and 36%, respectively, both above the sector-wide average. Overwhelming Success in Securing Research Fund CUHK received the largest share of funding from the 2017–2018 General Research Fund and Early Career Scheme, compared with other local universities. The total amount of grants stood at HK$162 million, representing a 10% increase from the previous year and more than a quarter of the fund total.
