Congratulations to the research team awarded a RGC Collaborative Research Fund (CRF) Grant of $2 million for the project "Mitigating Legal and Climate Risk in Asia Pacific Infrastructure Development". The project began in June 2025 for a duration of 36 months. It aims to develop a framework for assessing the sources of legal risk associated with infrastructure investment projects resulting in legal disputes.
It is led by Prof. Shahla Ali of University of Hong Kong Faculty of Law and includes Co-Principal Investigators from HKU Law (Prof. Ying Zhu), HKU Social Sciences (Prof. David Palmer and Prof. Hui Li), and PolyU Construction and Environment (Prof. Tarek Zayed), and collaborator from HKU Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (Ms. ZiWei Fan). This is another good example of an interdisciplinary collaborative research project. There are few law-related projects supported by the CRF fund, so well done to the team and hopefully we will see more CRF collaborations with legal academics in Hong Kong.
