Congratulations to Prof. Peter Y. K. Lam, Honorary Research Fellow of ICS, for receiving two gold medal awards.

On 12 October 2021, as part of the centenary celebration the Oriental Ceramic Society, London, awarded the Hills Gold Medal to Prof. Lam for his distinguished contribution to the study of Oriental Art.

And on 16 December 2021, Prof. Lam was also awarded the J.M. Hu Memorial Gold Medal Prize by the Min Chiu Society, Hong Kong, for his contributions to the advancement of knowledge in the field of Chinese Art and culture.

ICS is saddened to learn of the passing of the honorary research fellow, Dr. Suzanne Pepper on June 29, 2022. Dr. Pepper was a Hong Kong-based American writer and political scientist. She had been a research fellow at the Universities Services Centre on China Studies (USC) since 1978 until January 2021 when she transferred to ICS as honorary research fellow. She also joined the Hong Kong Free Press as a contributing writer since 2015. Dr. Pepper will be greatly missed. May her soul rest in peace and light forever.
