Aimed at making Hong Kong an age-friendly city, the institute will synergize the research personnel and efforts across disciplines to promote and implement holistic strategies for active ageing, through research, policy advice, community outreach and knowledge transfer. Institute director Prof. Jean Woo said, ‘The institute doesn’t just see ageing issues from a health care point of view. We’ve brought together experts on psychology, engineering, architecture, etc., to come up with cross-disciplinary solutions based on their research results.’ The donation ceremony was held on 21 August 2014. Pi Centre The Pre-incubation Centre (Pi Centre) was officially opened on 1 9 September 2014 to stimulate creativity and entrepreneurship among students. The Pi Centre strives to help students who are looking to establish companies to commercialize technologies and implement innovative business models both for profit and for the benefit of society. CUHK students of any discipline with innovative ideas and a passion to succeed in their own businesses can apply for admission to the Pi Centre. Their initial execution plan will be assessed by a panel comprising external business and industrial experts. Selected teams will enjoy free workspace, facilities and professional development and mentorship support for their startup ventures for up to a year. Teams having achieved good progress may start their business in the local incubators, e.g. Cyberport, Hong Kong Science & Technology Parks, and Hong Kong Design Centre. 胡令芳教授 Prof. Jean Woo 42 發展里程 Development Milestones
