An “Endowed Chair” is among the highest honours that can be bestowed upon prominent academics at HKBU in recognition of their accomplishments and in support of their scholarly endeavours. In 2006, HKBU launched the Endowed Chairs Scheme, aiming to recruit and retain the world’s top scholars, thereby strengthening the University research capacity, extending the frontiers of knowledge and nurturing upcoming talents and leaders for society.

Since its establishment, the Endowed Chairs Scheme has received generous support from many entrepreneurs, charity foundations, community leaders and alumni, who wish to help HKBU achieve academic and research excellence and contribute to society. Therefore, the Scheme is not only a resounding acclamation of the merits of the appointed faculty, but also an enduring tribute to the generous supporters whose role is instrumental in the establishment of such positions. It has provided a remarkable opportunities for visionary donors to partner with the University in advancing ground-breaking research and academic excellence in their chosen disciplines for the betterment of humankind.
