A Catalyst to Advance Research Excellence in Data Science.
The HKU Musketeers Foundation Institute of Data Science (HKU IDS) is the first of the ten research institutes in the University’s technological development blueprint for the next decade. Drawing on strengths in varied disciplines, the Institute aspires to connect our expertise and a University-wide interest in establishing critical mass in key areas, and to explore frontier research and applications in data science, computing, mathematics, and statistics. Researchers and their research postgraduate students recruited under the Data Science Cluster in the HKU-100 Recruitment Campaign launched in 2021 will be jointly appointed by both the Institute and various Departments from STEM and non-STEM disciplines.
The Institute on the main HKU campus will serve as the hub for a nexus formed of branches, satellite centers, labs, and other research institutes on the Mainland – in particular in the Greater Bay Area – to connect and facilitate collaborations with local partners in industry, business, government sectors, and other research institutions where data is collected.

Our goal is to establish a world-class institute in this key area and to attract the best talents from across the globe to work with us. The Institute is home to newly recruited IDS researchers under the HKU-100 recruitment campaign and to students conducting their own academic research in data science. It aims to host, facilitate, and promote research in a wide range of data science through research funding support, multidisciplinary research programs, and a network of connections between the talent pool of data scientists at IDS and domain experts on campus.
