• International innovation accolades: A total of 38 international innovation awards were garnered. These included EdUHK’s first-ever Gold Medal with Congratulations of the Jury in the Protection of the Environment – Energy category, at the 48th International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva. The period also saw nine patents granted and 13 others filed to protect the use of the University’s innovations in fields such as linguistics, emotion recognition and neurology;
• Renovation works for the North Point Study Centre were completed. It provides space for multi-media equipped classrooms, a lecture theatre, an AI education laboratory, discussion rooms and a learning commons;
• EdUHK’s elite athletes achieved outstanding results at the Asian Games 2023 in Hangzhou with a total of one gold, two silver and six bronze medals.

EdUHK President Professor John Lee Chi-Kin said, “This year, EdUHK played a pioneering role in embracing artificial intelligence with the launch of the 6-P pedagogical approach. The move helps foster self-regulated learning, while ensuring compliance with academic integrity. The University also introduced a cross-faculty core course, which facilitated block practice in schools in the Greater Bay Area. This helps in enriching students’ learning experience and deepening their understanding of our country. We will continue to review our curriculum and strengthen the professional ethics of teachers, in an effort to address societal needs and expectations.”
