The HKU-Pasteur Research Pole is delighted to announce that applications are welcomed for the sixth edition of the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole Fellowship for Autumn 2026.
Deadline for Applications
25 February 2026
The HKU‐Pasteur Research Pole Fellowship Programme provides a unique opportunity for postgraduate students and postdoctoral fellows in Hong Kong and Macau to pursue their research projects in an outstanding scientific environment, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris.
The research conducted by both the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole and the Institut Pasteur are crucial to advance global scientific knowledge, notably regarding emerging infectious diseases. Ensuring continuity in scientific training for the next generation of scientists is more important than ever.
Louis Pasteur famously said that “Chance favors invention only for minds prepared for discoveries by patient study and persevering efforts." In line with this belief and with the Pasteurian values that science belongs to mankind and should be shared with altruism, HKU-Pasteur, with the support of the Pasteur Foundation Asia (PFA), the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, and the Légion d'Honneur Club Hong Kong Chapter, is delighted to announce the launch of this new edition of the HKU-Pasteur Research Pole Fellowship Programme.
This fellowship offers a grant to undertake a 3-months research internship at the Institut Pasteur, Paris, France between September and December 2026.
The selection process will take place shortly after the applications deadline, and successful applicants will be notified promptly.
