The event marked CUHK’s achievements over the past 60 years and represented an important milestone in its network of collaborations in the mainland. The ceremony was attended by representatives from government, industry, academia and alumni from Beijing and Hong Kong. 

During the ceremony, two Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) were signed. The first MoU, signed with the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Talent, aims to promote cooperation projects between CUHK and Beijing’s universities, research institutes, enterprises, and other institutions. The second MoU, signed with The National (Zhongguancun) Torch Institute of Science and Technology, focuses on promoting the transfer and transformation of scientific and technological achievements between the two regions.
