As we welcome the new year, HKBU is thrilled to introduce its Calendar 2022, a roadmap that will guide the institution towards continued excellence and innovation. This year's calendar sets an ambitious tone, with an array of exciting initiatives that aim to enhance the university's teaching, research, and service capabilities. Here are some of the highlights of HKBU Calendar 2022:
Enhancing Student Experience
HKBU has always placed a strong emphasis on the student-experience, and in 2022, this commitment will be further strengthened through new programmes aimed at enhancing the well-being and career opportunities of our students. In the coming year, HKBU will launch a \"Career Mentoring Scheme,\" which will provide undergraduate students withcareer guidance, professional development workshops, and networking opportunities. Additionally, the university will increase its investment in mental-health-care services, providing students with additional resources to increase their overall well-being.
Driving Research Excellence
Since its inception, HKBU has been at the forefront of research innovation in Hong Kong, and this tradition will continue in 2022. This year, the university will launch Phase I of its \"Artificial Intelligence Research Centre,\" which will attract leading scholars from around the world and strengthen HKBU's research capabilities significantly. Additionally, the university will set up several interdisciplinary research teams to tackle some of the most pressing global challenges, such as climate change and pandemics. Finally, HKBU will establish a \"Grants Facilitation Office\" that will provide research staff with support in identifying and applying for external funding opportunities.
Impacting The Community
As an integral part of Hong Kong's academic community, HKBU recognises the importance of its civic responsibilities. In 2022, the university will ramp up its community outreach activities through initiatives such as a \"Community Engagement Summer Camp,\" which will provide secondary-school students with exposure to HKBU's educational programmes, cultural events and facilities. Additionally, HKBU will continue its work on community-driven research projects, such as \"Urban Health Inclusion\" and \"Age-Friendly Communities.\" Finally, in response to the pandemic, the university will continue to offer targeted support to vulnerable communities in the form of food banks, financial assistance, and volunteers.
The HKBU Calendar 2022 epitomises our university's passion and commitment towards a brighter future for students, research, and society. By staying true to our core values of inclusivity, innovation, and integrity, we believe that the coming year will be one of unprecedented success for our institution.
