About the Policy Dialogue Series:

In the 2020-21 academic year, the two universities will cooperate again to host 6 new dialogue sessions. Professor Anthony Cheung will be joined by another professor (plus other speaker as appropriate) in the relevant field to explore some contemporary public policy challenges facing Hong Kong, as follows:

(1) Still ‘Two Systems’?: Hong Kong under national security law and new global geopolitical environment

(2) The impact of COVID-19 pandemic: Crisis management, and governance and policy priorities

(3) The Fury of Young People: Aspirations, mobility, and identity politics

(4) Housing Affordability: Can there be breakthrough solutions?

(5) The Constraint City: Livability, mobility, connectivity and sustainability

       (6)‘Hong Kong China’: Global city or just another city of China?

The Policy Dialogue Series is interactive and encourages the participation of the EdUHK and HKUST community. 

Due to the implementation of public health measures to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus on university campuses, the Policy Dialogue Series will adopt an online mode in semester 1 via zoom. If the situation allows in Semester 2, an additional physical seminar will be held at EdUHK/ HKUST campus. More details will be announced later.

Please note that the arrangement is still subject to any final change depending on the pandemic development. 

All are welcome!
