CUHK students flared at the 13th Challenge Cup held at Soochow University from 13 to 18 October 2013. We won the top prize for the Hong Kong and Macau Region again this year, becoming the only university in Hong Kong to receive the highest award in the region for 6 consecutive times since the competition accepting participation of Hong Kong tertiary institutions in 1997.

This year, six teams of CUHK students participated in the competition and won 3 first prizes, 1 second prize and 2 third prizes.
