An “Endowed Professorship” is one of the most significant awards
bestowed upon eminent academics within the University
in support of  their academic and research activities.

A total of 120 Endowed Professorships have been established at HKU since 2005.

Naming

The Professorship may be perpetually named in honour of a donor,
corporation or other honouree(s) as recommended by the donor.

Donor Acknowledgement

An Inauguration Ceremony will be held in honour of the donors and the Endowed Professors. A separate Dedication Ceremony can be organised at the donor’s wish.

As a token of appreciation, the Endowed Professorships commemorative chair, crafted in the style of the Ming Dynasty, will be presented to the donor. Each commemorative chair is unique and personalised with a customised plaque engraved with the name of the Endowed Professorship.

Holder of an Endowed Professorship will carry his/her full title on all occasions, in all academic publications, news and international engagements. Stationery will carry the full title. The donor will be kept abreast of the academic achievements of the Endowed Professor, who will have close personal contact with the donor.
