Student-initiated Projects

To promote campus internationalisation and integration, CityU students are invited to submit proposals with the aim of allowing local and non-local students to work together toward a common purpose of providing a more welcoming environment for all students.

• The maximum amount of sponsorship for a successful proposal may reach HK$100,000.
• The amount of funding shall be decided on a case-by-case basis by the Assessment Panel.
• Funding will be disbursed on a reimbursement basis after project completion.

• The project proposals are assessed according to three criteria –
  1. integration (the extent to which the project is effective in promoting integration and cultural exchange between local and non-local students);
  2. creativity (the extent to which the project is interesting, creative and appealing to students); and
  3. content (the extent to which the content of the project is intellectual and inspiring with a global perspective).
• SIP is funded by institutional budget that shall not support commercial, political and religious activities. Representation of commercial, political and religious stances at SIP events is inappropriate and should be avoided.
• There shall not be any discriminatory, vulgar, gambling, offensive, obscene and sexually explicit elements involved.

• Any full-time student enrolled in CityU is eligible to be a proposer.
• Each proposal must be:
  1. raised by at least 3 proposers, and
  2. endorsed by a full-time staff advisor (academic staff or non-academic staff at the rank of Executive Officer or above).

Application should be sent to sip.geo@cityu.edu.hk at least one month before the proposed date of event. Late, incomplete or retrospective application will not be considered. A complete submission should include:

• a scanned proposal with endorsement of staff advisor in PDF format
• the proposal in editable Word format
• (optional) supporting documents (e.g. quotations)
