Summer Internship (Student)
University students gain R&D experience at ASTRI (2014)
• A total of 15 students, most of them took part in R&D projects in various research teams within ASTRI,
completed 8 – 10 weeks training, through which they gained their first research experience in a real
working environment.
• Among them were three students from Princeton University who were selected to be summer interns
through a joint summer research program between Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and
Princeton University.
• Apart from open recruitment, students were also selected through two award schemes. The first one is
InnoTech Scholarship Award Scheme under The Hong Kong Federation of Youth Groups which aims at
providing internship opportunities to outstanding local undergraduates in the science, engineering,
technology and health disciplines. Some top-notch students were recruited through the Excellence in
Technology Innovation and Commercialization Scholarship Award Scheme (Ethics) hosted by a
charitable organization, the Virtus Foundation Ltd.
