CityUHK Explores Academic Ties with Mexico’s Universidad Panamericana

Prof. Wen Jung LI, Vice-President (Talent and International Strategy) and Prof. Xinge YU, Associate Vice-President (Resources Planning), and Associate Director (Institute of Digital Medicine),hosted a delegation from Universidad Panamericana (UP), a leading private university in Mexico, for discussions on potential academic and research collaboration.

The two institutions identified key areas of mutual interest across STEM, arts and humanities, and business disciplines, and explored the potential establishment of a joint research seed fund to support collaborative initiatives. Aligned research interests could pave the way for joint research projects, scholar mobility, and cross‑border PhD co‑supervision, with regional grant schemes flagged as potential funding sources. This dialogue marks an important step in expanding CityUHK’s academic network with Latin America, opening global learning prospects for faculty and students from both institutions.
