The Departmental Retreat was held at the Sheraton and Four Points by Sheraton Hong Kong Tung Chung Hotel on 21-22 April 2023. The annual Departmental Retreat provided a valuable opportunity for the faculty members to reconnect, exchange ideas and strategically plan for the development of the Department.
The main objectives of the Retreat were to review the research and teaching performance, to discuss the strategies and plans for the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2026, and to explore the opportunities and challenges of international partnerships and research networking. The participants engaged in lively and constructive discussions on these topics, sharing their views and experiences. The Retreat also provided a platform for the faculty members to exchange ideas and feedback on the development of research labs and spaces, as well as to revisit program curriculums of undergraduate, taught program and postgraduate study.
The Retreat was a fruitful and enjoyable experience, enabling all faculty members to gain new insights and perspectives on the Department’s vision and mission. It is a dynamic process that is always prepared to make any necessary modifications in light of changing circumstances and needs. Thank you to faculty members for their dedications and contributions to the success of the Retreat. We are much looking forward to the Retreat in 2024.
