Over 30 Hong Kong academics were named as global
Highly Cited Researchers by Clarivate Analytics in 2017.
They earned the honour by producing a notable number of
papers that ranked in the top 1% of the most-cited research
in their respective fields in the period 2005 to 2015.
The Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong was established
in 2015. With 28 leading scientists as members, it conducts
independent studies and advises the Government on
formulating I&T policies. Hong Kong has also more than
40 academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences
and the Chinese Academy of Engineering.
The world is competing for the best brains. In addition
to nurturing local talent, we value talent from other
places. We have thus launched a fast-track I&T talent
admission scheme to enable technology enterprises to
bring in the necessary overseas and Mainland talent in
an expedited manner.
