Innovations and Sustainability: Shaping Education and Global Futures
The International Postgraduate Roundtable and Research Forum cum Summer School (IPRRFSS) in Education, Social Sciences, Liberal Arts, and Humanities gathers distinguished academics, postgraduate students, and experts at our beautifully green and pleasant campus.
IPRRFSS has been organized since 2011, and the event is jointly organised by EdUHK and partner universities. Over the years, we have fostered partnerships with esteemed institutions across the globe, including Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Macau, mainland China, Mongolia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Russia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, and the United States, among others.
IPRRFSS empowers postgraduate students to take the lead in co-organizing the Forum, co-chairing panel sessions, and presenting their work alongside international scholars during the Postgraduate Roundtables. Our Forum cultivates a collaborative environment that encourages postgraduate students to transcend disciplinary and geographical boundaries, presenting their research and engaging with individuals from diverse cultures and communities. It also serves as a platform for staying updated on the latest international discourses concerning in education, social sciences, liberal arts, and humanities.
The forthcoming International Postgraduate Roundtable and Research Forum cum Summer School is scheduled to take place from 9th to 12th July 2024. The theme for this edition will be "Innovations and Sustainability: Shaping Education and Global Futures".
