Professor Tuan remarked in his opening speech that CUHK has been dedicating efforts to strengthening the relationship with its mainland partners, “CUHK established the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology together with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Shenzhen Municipal Government in 2006. In 2014, with the approval from the Ministry of Education, we established The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, to carry forward the core educational philosophy and values of CUHK, and contribute talents to the Greater Bay Area as well as the country. The two campuses share the same root. CUHKSZ has inherited the fine education traditions of CUHK and has now become a successful model for Hong Kong universities to establish higher education institutes in the mainland.”
