CityUHK deepens academic exchange with Fuyao University of Science and Technology
City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) recently established a new academic collaboration with Fuyao University of Science and Technology (FYUST) to promote education, research, and industry cooperation. On 24 October, a delegation from FYUST visited CityUHK and was warmly received by Professor Freddy Boey, CityUHK President and University Distinguished Professor, and Professor Lee Chun Sing, Provost and Deputy President, along with senior management. Both parties officially signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), marking an important step toward multi-faceted collaboration.
FYUST was founded in February this year in the Fuzhou High & New Technology Industrial Development Zone, Fujian Province, China. Positioned as an innovative research-oriented university, it is committed to advancing science, engineering and high-tech development. In July, President Boey visited FYUST, and both parties found strong alignment in their educational philosophies, particularly regarding the transformation of research outcomes and talent cultivation. This latest exchange further solidifies their partnership.
The FYUST delegation was led by Mr Cao Dewang, Chairman and Founder of FYUST, and included Professor Chen Jianqun, Vice President of FYUST and Ms Shao Junyan, Director of the School-Enterprise Cooperation Center at FYUST.
Witnessed by President Boey and Mr Cao, the MoU was signed by Professor Li Wen Jung, Vice-President (Talent and International Strategy) of CityUHK, and Professor Chen. The agreement aims to deepen academic exchange between the two universities and foster close collaboration in joint research projects, student internships and industry partnerships.
President Boey expressed his gratitude to Mr Cao and the delegation for their visit, emphasising his confidence that combining the strengths and resources of both institutions will further enhance education quality and research excellence, nurturing more innovative talent for society.
During the visit, Mr Cao and his team toured CityUHK’s campus and the State Key Laboratory of Terahertz and Millimeter Waves, gaining insights into CityUHK’s latest research achievements and academic developments. CityUHK also arranged a discussion session, enabling Mr Cao to engage directly with undergraduate and postgraduate students. The atmosphere was lively, with students actively asking questions and showing strong interest in innovation and industrial development.
