The four overarching research clusters will work hand in hand to address the challenges and opportunities in the realms of Creative Media and Practice, Health and Drug Discovery, Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence and Humanities and Cultures, translating HKBU’s research excellence into tangible benefits that impact people’s lives for the better. With the generous contributions received from our supporters, we will also see the completion of the Jockey Club Campus of Creativity in 2024. The campus will be a community hub for staff and students of different academic and cultural backgrounds to ignite ideas, spark innovations, create knowledge and establish connections. Bolstered by our education and research infrastructure offered by the new campus, our capability to providing our talents with the resources they need to thrive and make the best out of their time at the University will be taken to another level. Looking ahead, riding on the opportunities made available with the strengthening of Hong Kong’s unique positioning as an international education hub and the Nation’s rapid socio-economic development, and with the strong support of members of the HKBU Foundation and long- standing supporters as well as the dedication of everyone at the University, we will continue to innovate having our core competencies in mind, and create values that serve the needs of the HKBU community and society.
