Visiting Professors Scheme
The Visiting Professors Scheme (VPS), formerly Visiting Research Professors Scheme, is aimed at enhancing the University's research competitiveness and visibility in the international academic community; providing the impetus to promote the development of targeted academic areas; and establishing links with world-class scholars and leading institutions for significant international collaboration. Top scholars may be appointed as Visiting Research Professors (VRP) in either long-term or short-term, depending on the needs of the host Faculty/Department and the time commitment of the scholars.
VPS complements other visitorship schemes (such as schemes for distinguished visiting professors), which have different eligibilities and operational principles.
The VRP appointments are listed below by year:
