Hong Kong Studies is an interdisciplinary field of area studies that takes “Hong Kong” as a central subject of analysis, and The Academy of Hong Kong Studies (AHKS), established in July 2015, is the first academy dedicated to fostering Hong Kong Studies within local tertiary institutions. Adopting the strategic direction of “Hong Kong in the World”, the AHKS drives interdisciplinary knowledge creation and transfer initiatives on Hong Kong-centric subjects and fosters the development of a cross-regional Hong Kong Studies research community.
The Global City Roundtable is intended to provide a platform for informed discussions among political sector, academia, business and civil society. Adopting the strategic direction of “Hong Kong in the World”, this conference series aims at bringing innovative perspectives to public policy discussions and academic research within the context of inter-global city studies.
