1. Research & Publications

One of the aims of the establishment of the HKIFM is to advance the knowledge of FM. Members are encouraged to update FM knowledge and publicise and share experience and research interests with others. This section of the site provides a venue for exchange of ideas and develops knowledge in the FM field. Initially, publications in the form of books and journal / conference papers will be listed here for reference by interested members.

In future, it is hoped that with the contributions from fellow members and other professionals, the Institute will be able to produce its own journal for the promotion and share of experience and research results within the field of FM.
