Applications are now invited for awards under the 2025 Teaching Excellence Award Scheme (TEAS). 

The TEAS aims to recognise, reward and promote excellence in teaching at the University. Under the Scheme, there are four categories of awards, viz. University Distinguished Teaching Award (UDTA), Outstanding Teaching Award (OTA), Early Career Teaching Award (ECTA) and Teaching Innovation Award (TIA). Besides individual awards, both OTA and TIA comprise team awards to recognise and encourage collaborative effort and achievement in enhancing teaching and learning. Faculties should encourage their teachers with outstanding contributions to teaching and learning to apply for these awards. Please refer to the circular (document 46/625) for details.

TALIC has developed a dedicated website (https://www.tea.talic.hku.hk) to provide useful resources for applicants.  Applicants are also encouraged to contact their TALIC Faculty liaison academics for advice on the preparation of the submission.

Applications should be submitted online (https://teas.hku.hk), with endorsement, on or before October 10, 2025.
