  RESEARCH EXPENDITURE AND FUNDING IN THE 1998-2001 TRIENNIUM

The 1998-2001 triennium saw healthy and robust development in research amongst the UGC-funded institutions, both in terms of quantity and quality.

During the 1998-2001 triennium, institutions' aggregate expenditure on research increased substantially, both in terms of absolute amount and as a percentage of Hong Kong's GDP (Figure 4.1). UGC and RGC funding for research in the 1998-2001 triennium, in the form of block grants and earmarked grants respectively, continued to constitute a substantial part in research funding for institutions (Figure 4.2)
