An Endowed Professorship is a prestigious honour that HKBU bestows upon distinguished academics to recognise their exceptional achievements and support their research endeavours. Made possible by visionary philanthropists, the Endowed Professorships Scheme creates perpetual endowments to bolster the University’s research capabilities, foster its promising talent, and promote leadership in strategic fields. It offers donors a unique opportunity to partner with HKBU in driving innovative research and academic excellence, ultimately benefitting society as a whole.

Launched in 2006, this initiative has garnered enthusiastic support, significantly enriching the University’s resources. It enables HKBU to expand the frontiers of knowledge, scale new heights of achievement and remain true to its vision of becoming one of Asia’s leading research-led liberal arts University in Asia.

At its core, the Scheme exemplifies the transformative power of partnership between the University and its benefactors. Through their generosity, donors can not only celebrate the accomplishments of eminent professors but also forge a lasting intellectual legacy – one that reflects their foresight and commitment to shaping a brighter future for the generations to come.
