Annual Report 2021–22

70 香港中文大學年報 CUHK Annual Report 2021–2022 Both courses are rigorous, scholarly-based undertakings which build on CUHK’s renowned history for providing high-quality general education and the University’s commitment to whole- person development. These courses supplement other initiatives such as orientation lectures on national security, periodic lectures on issues such as global health security, food security and energy security so the CUHK community can cultivate a holistic awareness of security issues placed against the backdrop of major themes impacting daily lives. CUHK is thrilled that the 2022-23 academic year sees the operation of its new flagpoles located at the University Central Steps. These new flagpoles will be home to weekly flag raising ceremonies taking place throughout term time, as well as ceremonies to mark major holidays including the HKSAR Establishment Day, National Day, and New Year’s Day. All ceremonies will welcome participation from students, staff, alumni, community representatives, Council members and dignitaries from the Central People’s Government, HKSAR government, and members of the diplomatic corps. Integrating with national development: the 14 th 5-year plan and advancing Hong Kong’s unique role in the Greater Bay Area CUHK is more focused than ever on identifying opportunities to integrate with the nation’s development. The 2022-23 academic year will see the opening of the CUHK Shanghai Centre, which will serve as an important platform for academic, alumni and entrepreneurial collaborations in the Yangtze River Delta. Located in Yangpu District (a district designated by the State Council as a Mass Innovation and Mass Entrepreneurship Demonstration Zone), the CUHK Shanghai Centre will stand alongside other key satellites, partnerships and ventures across the nation which are spearheaded by an extensive network of activities across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA). Major new initiatives underway in the GBA include an exciting new Greater Bay Area University-CUHK Joint Institute of Advanced Materials and Green Energy Research in Dongguan to revolutionise talent training and advance critical research in areas outlined under the 14 th 5-year plan which are critical to the transformation of the GBA economy and the sustainable development of our planet. The Dongguan venture comes at an exciting time when CUHK is accelerating collaboration with CUHK-Shenzhen via a new Taskforce designed to advance closer links between the two campuses following the execution of a strategic framework collaboration agreement in December 2021. 兩門科目以學術為基礎，設計非常嚴謹， 秉承大學多年來致力提供優質通識教育 和促進全人發展的精神。 科目有效配合大學有關國家安全的迎新 講座、以及關於全球衛生、糧食和能源安 全等問題的定期講座，加深學生認識與日 常生活息息相關的主要安全議題。 位於大學本部中央階梯的新旗台在 2022-23學年投入使用，大學訂於每星 期以及在香港特別行政區成立日、國慶 節和元旦等主要節日上，假新旗台舉行 升旗儀式，歡迎學生、員工、校友、公眾、 校董會成員、中央人民政府及香港特別 行政區政府官員和外國使節參與。 融入國家發展：「十四五」規劃及推進香 港在大灣區發揮獨特作用 中大積極尋找融入國家發展大局的新機 遇。香港中文大學上海中心將於2022- 23學年落成，成為推動長三角地區學 術發展、校友聯繫和創業合作的重要平 台。中心設於楊浦區，該區為國務院所 定的國家級創新創業示範基地，上海中 心聯同中大在粵港澳大灣區的強大網 絡，以及在全國各地所成立的分部並開 展之發展項目和合作計劃，將進一步助 力大學融入國家發展。 大學正在大灣區策劃多項重要舉措，其 中設於東莞的粵港澳大灣區大學─香港 中文大學先進材料與綠色能源研究院， 將為區內人才培養帶來重大貢獻，並推 進「十四五」規劃所列舉的關鍵研究領 域，加速大灣區的經濟轉型和地球可持 續發展。2021年12月，中大與香港中文 大學（深圳）簽署戰略合作框架協議，並 成立專責委員會，促進兩個校區之間更 緊密的聯繫和合作。 第六屆香港特別行政區政府成立：同為 香港譜寫新篇章 中大一直與香港特別行政區第六屆政府 保持緊密合作，並就行政長官發表的任 內首份《施政報告》公眾諮詢提交建議
