HKU Research Hub of Population Studies (Pop Hub) RPg Students’ Network aims to foster academic growth and community building among students interested in population studies across the HKU campus. It organises monthly events with support from Pop Hub. These monthly events include study sessions, student presentations of their work, talks by faculty members, and more. These gatherings provide valuable opportunities for RPg students to showcase their research, engage with peers, and benefit from faculty mentorship.
Pop Hub offers workspace and travel support for active network affiliates. The current workspace includes three hot desks inside the research room of Pop Hub, located on the 7th floor of the Jockey Club Tower, Centennial Campus. The travel fund (HK$8,000 per award) is usually announced in February each year, supporting conference presentations from March to February of the following year. The selection criteria for receiving travel support are based on affiliates’ participation and engagement in events organised by Pop Hub and Students’ Network, such as monthly seminars and conferences. Active involvement in these activities demonstrates a commitment to the Pop Hub community and fosters a culture of academic exchange and collaboration.
