The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has been enthusiastic about establishing close connections and productive partnerships with the top universities and research organizations in China to carry out diversified and multilateral projects covering research collaborations, student and faculty exchange, academic activities, joint education programmes, along with research and education bases. The rising prominence of the country and the opportunities brought by rapid regional development have increasingly recognized the importance of our collaborative efforts and strategic initiatives. The University will continue to integrate engagement platforms to leverage the unique strength of Hong Kong, contributing to national and global development. The China Engagement Office (CEO) serves as a bridge between CUHK and institutions in Mainland China, Taiwan and Macao to forge academic exchanges and research collaborations in support of CUHK’s vision to be acknowledged locally, nationally and internationally as a first-class comprehensive research university.
