Congratulations to Dr. Chrysa Keung for receiving the Early Career Award of the Research Grants Council (RGC) in recognition of her outstanding research and education plan submitted to the Early Career Scheme (ECS) 2021/22.
ECS is a scheme for Assistant Professors or equivalent, who are within three years of full-time appointment, to undertake independent research work. The RGC applies a high standard in the review process of applications for the grant, and all applications submitted are rigorously assessed by international experts.
The ECS received 418 applications from all eight University Grants Committee-funded universities. Of the 177 funded projects, only 7 early career scholars received the Early Career Awards. Chrysa’s project, entitled ‘Professional agency of Hong Kong kindergarten teachers working with socioeconomically disadvantaged children: A phenomenographic study ’ attained a perfect score of 5 from the RGC panel.
