What if there were a way to bring your research outcomes from the lab directly into the classroom – inspiring primary and secondary school students and shaping future-ready schools?

Co-hosting with Fullness Social Enterprise Society – Social Entrepreneurship School Education, KTO is launching Campus Futures: Co-creating with Social Innovation. This initiative connects CUHK professor-led social innovation projects with primary and secondary schools to bring innovative solutions into classrooms, supporting personal growth, STEM learning, and holistic education. It also aims to turn CUHK research into real-world impact for students, teachers, and communities. We are pleased to invite proposals for this initiative by 12 December 2025.

Shortlisted applications will be matched with schools based on the following thematic focus areas:

• Well-being Campus (幸福校園)

• Inclusive & Caring Campus (友善校園)
