About the Scheme

HSUHK established the Erudition Professorship Scheme, an endowed professorship initiative, to recognise exceptional academics for their research excellence. Alongside the University’s acclaimed academics, the Scheme also invites world-renowned faculties to join HSUHK and be nominated as Erudition Professors. Benefactors of the Scheme stand as esteemed partners of HSUHK, collaborating with the University through their philanthropic support of a designated academic or research discipline to advance the frontiers of knowledge and realise the following visions:

Attract and Retain Top Talent: Support HSUHK in retaining and attracting distinguished academics

Honor Academic Excellence: Recognise HSUHK academics for their exceptional research achievements

Deepen Community Partnerships: Broaden partnerships with the community to jointly drive excellence in teaching and research

Foster Shared Social Impact: Partner with benefactors to advance social responsibility, contributing to the betterment of society and the world

Honouring Excellence

Each donation to the Erudition Professorship Scheme will be used to form a perpetual endowment fund to support the Erudition Professorship. The honour of a named Professorship will be bestowed upon an eminent academic for an area of the donor’s choice. During their tenure, the Professor will carry the title to honour their exceptional academic achievements.
