Document background
The Sponsored Research Agreement is a crucial document used to formalize research partnerships in Hong Kong between funding organizations and research institutions. It is particularly relevant when companies, organizations, or government entities wish to sponsor specific research projects conducted by universities or research institutes. The agreement addresses key aspects including research scope, funding mechanisms, intellectual property rights, publication permissions, and confidentiality requirements, all within the framework of Hong Kong law and research regulations. This document type is essential for protecting both the sponsor's commercial interests and the research institution's academic freedom while ensuring clear guidelines for project execution, deliverables, and the exploitation of research results.
