One of the aims of the establishment of the HKIFM is to advance the knowledge of FM. Members are encouraged to update FM knowledge, publicise and share experience / research interests with others. This section is to provide a venue for exchange of ideas and develop knowledge of FM. Initially, publications in the form of books and journal articles / conference papers are listed here for reference of interested members.
In future, with the contributions from fellow members and other professionals, the Institute will be able to produce its own journal for the promotion and sharing of experience / research results.
