The College of Engineering (CENG) was delighted to meet overseas partners at APAIE 2026, held from 23–27 February at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre under the theme "Asia-Pacific Partnerships for the Global Good."

Apart from Prof Jian Lu, Dean of the College of Engineering, joining the "Study in Hong Kong" reception to welcome partners, our delegation engaged in productive discussions on international education, student mobility, and collaboration opportunities with institutions across the Asia-Pacific and beyond. Prof Shek Chan Hung, Associate Dean (Undergraduate Education), delivered a talk in the session “Bridging Cultures through Dual Degrees: French-Hong Kong Academic Partnerships”, chaired by Mr Eric Chevreuil (Deputy Consul for Culture, Education and Science, Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau). Joining speakers from HKBU and HKUST, Prof Shek highlighted innovative Joint Bachelor's Degree Programs, mobility schemes, scholarships, and case studies that boost graduate employability and intercultural competencies, earning highly enthusiastic audience feedback.

Thank you to all partners who took time to meet during the conference and looking forward to continued collaboration after APAIE 2026
