The University of Hong Kong has been emphasising the importance of embracing inter-disciplinary, international, innovation and impact as its four pillars going forward. To further these ends, the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Social Sciences, in close collaboration, jointly establish and operate the Centre for Water Technology and Policy for water safety, security and urban sustainability.
An inaugural symposium was organized on May 29, 2018 at the Social Sciences Chamber of HKU. Guest speakers from UC Berkeley, McGill University, Arizona State University, National University of Singapore, Beijing Normal University, the University of Hong Kong, the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology shared their views towards the theme “Climate-resilient Urban Water Systems: New Technologies and Policy Challenges” in this one-day symposium.
