PROLOGUE BY
PROFESSOR
XIANG ZHANG
Facing various challenges in today’s world, I believe that the future of the University of Hong Kong lies with positive changes that promote a real sense of ownership, openness, willingness to take risk and think globally.
Ranking 21st in the world and having been merited the most international university for three consecutive years, HKU has much more to offer to the world. The University is not an observer to global challenges, but an active participant in providing global solutions.
It is my hope that the HKU President’s Forum, with the presence of distinguished scholars from different fields, shall become a regular platform that offers diversified insight, ignites discussion and incubates new ideas in our society.
