Distinguished Master Accomplished student Mentorship Program
Introduction
Nurturing the next generation of talents is critical to increasing Hong Kong’s momentum and maintaining our success in innovation and technology. To this end, The Hong Kong Academy of Sciences (ASHK), in collaboration with the Hong Kong Academy of Engineering Sciences (HKAES) and the Hong Kong Institution of Science (HKIS), is launching the Fifth “Distinguished Master, Accomplished Students” Mentorship Programme in 2023, on the basis of its prior success in the last four cohorts. The Fifth round of the Programme will officially start on 1st April 2023 until 31st March 2024.
The purpose of the Programme is to enhance Hong Kong students’ exposure to current scientific and technological development and to nurture future talents through experience sharing and interaction with experienced professionals. Through the one-year mentorship, mentors will inspire students with real world experience and industrial knowledge at a personal level, providing advice to help students unleash and realise their potential.
