The Knowledge Transfer Awards were established by EdUHK in
2009/10 to recognise exceptional scholars who focus on making
a positive social and learning impact in Hong Kong and elsewhere
by transferring their research inspired knowledge, technology and
findings to the wider community through a specialized project.

The 2015/16 winners were identified from a wide range of
disciplines through a meticulous process. The projects were first
nominated by faculties and research centres. Next the nominated
academics did an oral presentation of their projects to a selection
panel that consisted of seven EdUHK academics and one local
secondary school principal. The selection panel then assessed the
projects based on a set of criteria, such as creativity, accessibility
and social impact, and decided the winners.

Having adopted knowledge transfer as the third pillar in its
institutional development, the EdUHK presents the KT Award
annually to outstanding academics in recognition of their hard
efforts in transferring knowledge to the community for social
change.
