10th Anniversary of CAS Academicians Visit Programme cum Lecture Series

 

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) celebrated the 10th Anniversary of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) Academicians' Visit Programme cum Lecture Series which is held annually since 2008.  Prof. Tan Tieniu, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government (LOCPG) in the HKSAR and former Vice-President of CAS joined the activities at CUHK, officiating at the anniversary luncheon, together with Prof. Joseph Sung, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK.  The celebration marked an important milestone to a new height of the close collaboration between CUHK and CAS.  In his speech during the celebration lunch, Prof. Tan mentioned that CUHK is very innovative in establishing the Academicians' Visit Programme, which serves as an excellent platform and has created many opportunities for collaborations between CUHK and CAS.  

 

This year, four CAS Academicians were invited to CUHK for a four-day visit from 21 February.  They include Prof. Peng Shige, Prof. Wu Yueliang and Prof. Du Jiangfeng of the Division of Mathematics and Physics, as well as Prof. Cao Xiaofeng of the Division of Life Sciences and Medical Sciences. The University extended a warm welcome to the delegates.  CUHK representatives include Prof. Joseph Sung, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK; Prof. Fok Tai-fai and Prof. Fanny Cheung, Pro-Vice-Chancellors; Prof. Wong Suk-ying, Associate Vice-President; Prof. Henry Wong, Faculty Dean of Science; Prof. Dickon Ng, Department Chairman of Physics; Prof. Shao Qiman, Department Chairman of Statistics; and Prof. Jiang Liwen, Centre Director for Cell and Developmental Biology.  The delegates visited relevant CUHK units including the School of Life Sciences and the Departments of Physics and Statistics, alongside the various laboratories and research centres.  They were introduced to the latest development and research plans of the University.  Interactive meetings were arranged with faculty members, where both sides discussed collaboration opportunities in a range of fields, particularly in inter-disciplinary collaboration to seize the new opportunities arising from national and global developments.

 

The four academicians delivered public lectures for the Lecture Series by Academicians on 22 February, sharing their research expertise and insights with members of CUHK and of the public.  The lectures attract an audience of over 250 people.  Details are listed below:
