CUHK strives to promote KT to its academic staff, and has set and tracked both qualitative and quantitative performance indicators for each of its KT projects. Our effort is recognized by the UGC, which commended the University in a recent letter for further sharpening the use of its funding, encouraging innovations and interdisciplinary KT projects, and making use of its community projects for the benefits of the community. The UGC also applauded the University’s favourable performance in commercialization and exploitation of intellectual property rights. In the future, the University will continue to serve the communities locally and globally as a caring institution, and encourage and support its members to use their knowledge, skills and strengths to make the world a better place.
