EdUHK President Professor Stephen Cheung extended his sincere appreciation to Mr Sam Tin and the Foundation for their generous support for EdUHK over the years. “The Foundation’s longstanding support and trust symbolise its recognition of the University’s unique role in the education sector. The funding support will allow EdUHK to expand our network with universities in the Greater China region, facilitating exchange and knowledge transfer among the academic institutions.”

Mr Sam Tin said, ‘We believe the future of China lies in education. The enhancement of the Visiting Scholars Programme will enable the University to bring in new ideas and perspectives to foster research collaboration opportunities, while promoting innovative educational approaches in the Greater China region. We are confident to collaborate with EdUHK again in this regard.’
