MyAV·¶-Peking University Strategic Partner Funds 2021/22 recipients
31 March 2022
The fifth annual seed funding call from MyAV·¶ and Peking University (PKU) awarded seven joint projects up to £10,000 each
Following the fifth joint seed funding call from MyAV·¶ and Peking University (PKU), seven collaborative projects led by academics from both institutions are set to launch.
Each of the projects received up to £10,000, with funds equally contributed by MyAV·¶ and PKU.Â
The projects will strengthen links between MyAV·¶ and PKU, who last year awarded four projects funding under the same call. In addition, five MyAV·¶ students were awarded Yenching Academy of PKU scholarships last year.Â
One of this year's funding recipients, Dr Quichen Lu, said: "It is my great honor to receive the MyAV·¶-PKU Strategic Partner Fund. This project aims at starting a new collaboration between MyAV·¶ and Peking University (PKU) in the area of sustainable cities. Specifically, we propose a pilot study to investigate scenarios of mobility and anthropogenic emissions to enable more sustainable cities in the post-pandemic era. Thanks to this funding opportunity, our research group has great opportunities to work with PKU and develop the city-level research jointly."
