Application deadlineNo current deadline published in the cited evidence
Commencing dateIntake date not published
Application route / cycleSICOT annual call. The SICOT list shows a deadline of 15 September 2026, which has passed; the most recent window has ended and the next call date is not published. Conflicting official information: The SICOT list tags the fellowship '(open)' although its stated deadline (15 September 2026) is before today; the 'Read More' link on the list is '#', so no separate detail page was available. The generic SICOT application form URL is taken from the HKU/SICOT page.
