Computer and Information Technology Services High Speed HKIX-CSTNet Link to Promote Research Collaboration with Mainland The University plays a leading role in Hong Kong’s Internet development. In October 2005, a 1 Gbps high speed link was established between the Hong Kong Internet Exchange (HKIX), operated by CUHK, and CSTNet, a leader of the Mainland’s scientific research network. This link enables researchers from both places to communicate directly in a smoother video-conferencing environment with higher image resolution. A partnership was formed between the Information Technology Services Centre (ITSC) and the Computer Network Information Centre of Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) to promote research collaboration and science literacy. This included setting up a mirror website of the ‘Science Museums of China’ at CUHK (kepu. itsc.cuhk.edu.hk) to nurture young people’s interest in science. The website also ran live broadcast of talks held by the University and CAS. Integrated Approach to Information Security The ITSC remained vigilant and took proactive measures at various levels to safeguard the University’s information infrastructure. 資訊科技服務處與中國 科學院轄下的計算機網絡 資訊中心達成多項合作 協議 ITSC and CAS forming a partnership
