The Fund is open for applications of the following projects:

• Short term academic, cultural, technology or sports exchange programmes between Belgium and Hong Kong;
• Other projects to enhance and promote intercultural activities related to Belgium and Hong Kong;
• Work or study experience that connects Belgium and Hong Kong.

Project Conditions

• Projects must be non-profit making;
• Projects can be either "tangible" or web-based;
• May not necessarily imply traveling to Belgium or Hong Kong.

Application Process

• Application is open throughout the year;
• Candidates may apply through their college / university / tertiary institution (including student's association), or individually for applicants no longer in full-time education;
• Applicants should fill in the application form below with the relevant information including description of the project, goals and objectives, coverage/benefits (actual and potential), timing and budget – to a maximum of EUR 5,000 per project;
