2023 International Research Seed Funding

Overview

The goal of the 2023 International Research Seed Funding initiative, sponsored by Sun Hung Kai Properties Limited (see below), was to assist talented researchers in developing projects/ideas to a level that would secure additional, more significant funding. Research proposals were directly related to the tall building typology and/or urban habitat, but could come from any topic/discipline. The proposals were intended to have the potential to improve tall buildings and cities from a wide perspective.
