The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, and his delegation from the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region visited our university
On the morning of January 9th, The Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-ki, and his delegation from the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region visited The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou) and conversed with its President, Professor Lionel Ni, researchers, and students from Hong Kong, to learn about the university's progress in fostering teaching and research, its transformation of scientific and technological achievements, student exchanges, etc. The HKUST(GZ), as the first Mainland-Hong Kong higher education institution co-operation project approved by the Ministry of Education since the promulgation of the Outline Development Plan for the GBA, was opened in September 2022.
Mr Chan and his delegation began their visit by ascending to the seventh floor of the administration building, where they had a panoramic view of the campus and received a presentation from Professor Lionel Ni on the existing facilities and future plans for the second phase of campus development.
They then proceeded to explore the Maker Space, which showcased the unique Red Bird MPhil Program at HKUST(GZ). Continuing their visit, they were guided to the Novel IC Exploration Facility (NICE), where Professor Xu Jiang, the Thrust Head of Microelectronics, provided an overview of the facilities’ construction and capabilities.
Mr Chan was glad to learn that the HKUST(GZ) admitted its first batch of undergraduate students last year, with the total number of newcomers at the undergraduate, master's and doctoral levels reaching nearly 1,000. He hoped that The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and the HKUST(GZ) will continue to implement the "Unified HKUST, Complementary Campuses" framework, under which the two campuses complement and collaborate with each other to support the development of the GBA into a high-calibre talent hub.
