(VI) This subsidy does not apply to international conferences organized by institutions in Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Macao. The subsidy does, however, apply to conferences organized by international institutions in the regions mentioned above.

Applications are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Applicants are required to submit full documents to the Office of Research Development according to proper procedures at least five weeks before the conference is held.

Applications that are made after the applicant has attended the conference will not be accepted.
