About Us
Our Mission
In recent years, Hong Kong has been experiencing an explosion in financial deception and scam cases. Such an escalating trend of scam cases has had a significantly negative impact on our society. Our Anti-Scam and Financial Education and Research Project Team aim to:
- improve anti-scam awareness and financial literacy of our future generation;
- enhance research opportunities through understanding the social impact of fraud cases; and
- provide policy implication and contribute to our society.
Specifically, we will offer various educational activities targeting both HSUHK and non-HSUHK students to enhance their awareness in anti-deception and increase their interest in financial literacy. Our research projects will also be translated into societal and academic impact solutions.
