I. Principal Collaborating Institutions and Organizations The HKU Faculty of Dentistry is committed to cooperating with a number of dental institutions and organisations throughout mainland China. The Faculty's academic staff make frequent visits to the Mainland and many are Honorary Professors, Editors or Editorial Board Members of leading universities and scientific journals in mainland China. The Faculty has also signed academic agreements with six prominent institutions: School of Stomatology, Peking University (Beijing) School of Stomatology, Shanghai Jiao Tong University (Shanghai) West China College of Stomatology, Sichuan University (Chengdu) College of Stomatology, Fourth Military Medical University (Xi'an) School of Stomatology, Wuhan University (Wuhan), and Guanghua School of Stomatology, Sun-Yat-Sen University (Guangzhou).

A number of focused, cross-regional educational and research programmes have already taken place. For example, "The University of Hong Kong -- Peking University Conjoint International Postgraduate Programme in Periodontology", the first-ever joint clinical degree programme in mainland China, was officially launched on 26 May 2008 in Beijing. The cooperation with the Mainland serves to enhance research, teaching, clinical activities, and professional development in dentistry.

In addition, the Faculty has initiated the annual fellowship scheme with the Chinese Stomatological Association, the most authoritative national stomatological body on the Mainland. The "HKU Faculty of Dentistry -- Chinese Stomatological Association Advanced Dentistry Fellowships" aim at allowing well-qualified and distinguished young dentists on the Mainland to undertake a short-term attachment at the Faculty to study, conduct research, and experience world-class dental education. The first round of this event took place in 2008 and attracted more than 200 competitors, from which two fellowship awardees in the clinical research category and two in the basic research category were selected.
