The William Mong Institute for Science and Technology (WMINST) facilitates and supports numerous nano science and technology-related research projects at HKUST. It has a significant role in nurturing collaborative research programs internally and externally, as well as to secure external research funding. The Institute has also committed a substantial proportion of its resources to procure shared research equipment, housed in the University’s Central Research Facilities, for the communal benefit of HKUST researchers and beyond.
