"Global University Presidents & Leaders Summit 2024" Kicks Off Today at HKCEC, Spanning Two Days - Seite 2
Professor Priscilla Leung Mei-fun, the founding president of the Hong Kong Association for External Friendship, a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, and also the chairman of the Summit's Organizing Committee, noted that with the staunch support of the UGC, eight UGC-funded universities, and one publicly funded University of Applied Sciences in Hong Kong, the Summit was successfully launched within just seven months of preparation. The Summit is grand in scale, and the topics discussed are forward-looking and timely. The gathering, with Hong Kong's local university presidents and global scholars getting under one roof, not only helps to showcase the "Study in Hong Kong" brand but also promotes Hong Kong as an "international hub for high-caliber talents."
The Summit will explore nine growing research trends, including the globalization of knowledge in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), ethics and value building of AI technology in society, AI development and its law and order, demographic changes and future education, university governance and innovation, data science, AI in meeting biomedical challenges, AI technology and the green economy, and how to create value for the younger generation in a rapidly changing world order. Presidents from Hong Kong's nine universities will each host a panel discussion. Apart from some 1,000 participants joining the discussions in person, more can attend virtually by watching live streaming online. The Summit will potentially reach thousands of audiences.
The Summit has garnered support not only from the Central Government but also from various bureaus and departments of the Government of the HKSAR, such as the Education Bureau, the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau, the Financial Services and the Treasury Bureau, and the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau (CSTB). The CSTB, for instance, has arranged for international scholars to visit the Hong Kong Palace Museum in the West Kowloon Cultural District, demonstrating the high level of importance attached to this Summit by both the Government of the HKSAR and the Central Government.
