HKUST is 20 years old this year. And what a celebration it has been for this ambitious university! In the pursuit of our dream, this University has climbed mountains after mountains, pushed back boundaries after boundaries. Who would have thought that the QS World University Rankings could deliver the honor naming HKUST the No. 1 University in Asia in time for our Anniversary celebration? There is no better birthday gift for this miracle university. HKUST never ceases to surpass and surprise. The University’s achievements are broad-based and highminded. Months before QS rendered its global verdict, the Quality Assurance Council of the University Grants Committee had reaffirmed in its official local report the fact that the University is on target in what it set out to do, in education and research. Our scholars and scientists continue to garner awards in a variety of fields. And our students are continuing to shine in international competitions against their peers. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our faculty and our students for their multiple and serial achievements, and thank our staff for providing all the necessary support. Achievement breeds confidence and a strong sense of community. Recognition for the University’s achievements has come from different quarters, from near and far. International partnerships are flourishing as a result, not just in Asia- Pacific, but also in the Middle-East, Europe and America. Our leadership team has been crisscrossing the Mainland and further afield to advance the University’s cause, extending the networks of old friends and new allies. China’s 12th Five-Year Plan has given Hong Kong a role and us a place in the nation’s development in science and technology, with the Institute for Advanced Study flying our flag as the intellectual center for Asia. I am thankful that 20 years after its founding, HKUST has come into its own, raising the level of the research culture and projecting a more prominent profile in the wider community. We have the luck of good timing too, as China becomes a major global economic player and a determined pursuer of science and technology. Our mission is no longer just a bold slogan. Our achievements have demonstrated the rich possibilities of technology and management in our nation’s development and destiny. Locally, I am pleased to see that we are basically on schedule in our preparations for an expanded campus with an increased capacity to absorb higher enrollment that comes with a 4-year undergraduate education. Our library’s extension wing is fully operational and other support services and facilities are coming on stream, including expanded capacity of our canteen outlets. An educational reform of this magnitude poses a daunting overall challenge. But at HKUST, challenges are always viewed positively as opportunities for a fundamental realignment in thinking that results in ways of doing things better. HKUST’s first two decades have been a history of rising to challenges and overcoming obstacles. The fact that we have become the model for other universities of science and technology means that the idea of continuous progress must be embedded in our system and mentality. The fact that we have the continent’s No. 1 ranking means that we are in a new territory and the competition will be snapping at our heels. If universities of science and technology thrive on anything, they thrive on competition and challenge. In a new competitive environment, we have collectively mapped out our Strategic Plan for 2011-2016, focusing on six developmental areas, in education, research and faculty development, in community engagement, international and Mainland strategy and in the rationalization of our organization and resources. These are not just highsounding goals, as their implementation is fleshed out and aligned with an Annual Operation Plan, of which the 2011-2012 edition is already underway. I am proud that the University is emphasizing the innovative in teaching and research. I am pleased to see that our University is introducing the entrepreneurial spirit in our students. I am gratified to see that this year Council members are playing an even more active role in the University’s overall improvement, including ideas that help shape our Academic Development Plan that has emphatically won the endorsement and commendation of the UGC. Team HKUST is firmly in place. Our grand plan is ready. I congratulate our forward-looking and hardworking leadership team for continuing our tradition of continuous progress. Already, the next 20 years is looking brighter by the day, as we strive to leave a larger footprint in our community. Chairman, University Council Dr the Hon Marvin K T Cheung, GBS, JP 偉大的高等學府必須要有遠大的志向與抱負。科大今年 慶祝創校20周年，標誌著這所年青有朝氣的大學之重 要里程。在追尋夢想的過程中，科大跨越重重障礙，不斷開 拓新領域。我們慶祝踏入20周年之際，欣逢科大在《QS 亞 洲大學排名》高踞榜首；雙喜臨門，實在令人振奮。對於這 所奇蹟大學而言，相信沒有一份生日禮物比國際認同來得更 珍貴。科大將繼續超越自己、創造驚喜。 科大以超卓成就高踞《QS 亞洲大學排名》榜首之前數月，大 學教育資助委員會轄下質素保證局在本港發表報告，讚揚科 大正穩步邁向其教育及研究目標。科大教研人員在多個領域 屢獲殊榮，科大學生亦不斷在國際賽事上取得佳績。我謹衷 心祝賀各位老師和同學的多項成就，並感謝大學職員提供所 需的一切支援。這些美滿的成績增添了我們的信心，有助建 立更強的歸屬感。 科大表現卓著，獲世界各地認同。我們的國際網絡亦蓬勃發 展，不僅在亞太區，更遠至中東、歐洲和美洲。為了實現科 大的理想，大學領導層親赴內地及海外，加強與夥伴的聯繫 及拓展新網絡。國家「十二五」計劃讓香港及科大在國家的 科技發展上佔一席位，而科大高等研究院更提升科大作為亞 洲知識樞紐的地位。 科大創校短短20年，已經訂定清晰的發展路向、提升學術 研究水平，建立良好的聲譽，令我感到欣慰。科大的發展正 配合國家經濟起飛的歷史機遇，中國現已成為全球經濟大 國，並堅持科技建國的方針。科大的使命不是一句豪言壯 語，我們的成績正好展示了高水平的科技和管理可以為國家 的未來發展帶來寶貴的機遇。 我樂見校園拓展計劃進度理想，擴建後的校園將更能應付四 年制實施後學生增加的需要。圖書館新翼現已全面投入服 務，而多間食堂的擴充工程與其他支援服務及設施均快將竣 工。教育改革雖然充滿挑戰，科大視挑戰為機遇。我們將調 整思維、精益求精。 科大創校20年來，克服種種障礙。科大已成為其他科技大 學的參考對象，我們的體制和思維都能反映我們鍥而不捨、 不斷求進的精神。科大已成為亞洲第一，標誌著我們已成功 攀上新高峰，但競爭將會更加劇烈。一所重視科技的大學若 要有所成就，便需要在競爭中保持有利位置。面對充滿挑戰 的環境，科大制訂了2011-2016年的策略發展計劃，專注六 大發展範疇，包括教育、研究及學院發展、社會服務、國際 及內地策略，以及組織與資源重整。這些不是空談，科大已 制訂年度營運計劃將這些目標付諸實踐，而2011-2012年 的營運計劃亦已經展開。科大重視創新的教學及研究，我們 引以為傲。科大鼓勵學生培養創新精神，令我感到欣喜。我 衷心感謝今年校董會更積極地提升科大的整體質素，包括為 學術發展計劃提供意見，並得到教資會的支持及嘉許。科大 團隊已蓄勢待發，我們的鴻圖大計亦已準備就緒。我祝願領 導層以遠大的目光，致力秉承科大不斷求進的傳統，繼往開 來。科大未來20年的前景將更加光明，我們會繼續為社會 謀求福祉，留下更光輝的印記。 校董會主席 張建東博士 金紫荊星章、太平紳士 4 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 校長報告 President’s Report 5 對科大來說，今年是豐收的一年：我們作為世界級 大學的成就備受認同，在亞洲大學排名榜上高踞 榜首，廣受注目。我們的商業管理課程仍然穩佔全球 最佳位置，多個學科亦保持國際排名，在國際上取得 更大的認同。對於一所渴求繼續向前邁進的年青大學 來說，這些成就令人鼓舞。今年4月8日舉行的科大 20周年校慶慶祝大會，更倍添喜慶。為期一年的校慶 活動是科大的盛事，全校師生及校友聚首一堂。我們 取得的成績，能激勵科大同仁更加團結、追求更遠大 的理想。 一所世界級大學必須在各方面達致卓越水平，而香港 教育資助委員會質素保證局的審核結果，再次肯定科 大的健全發展。質保局特別讚揚我們的教學及研究工 作，我們將再接再厲。報告讚揚我們建立了完善的教 研關係，充分利用研究有效加強教學工作，並對學生 的理想特質有清晰的表述。科大作為研究型大學的定 位得到國際認同，與此同時我們亦為學生提供多元化 的學習體驗，包括高質素的師友輔導計劃、國際學生 交流計劃，以及探索為本和跨學科的學習模式；這些 計劃均管理得宜，得到高度讚揚。 現在距離推行四年制學位課程僅有一年時間，其發展 備受重視，籌備工作亦已進行得如火如荼。教資會明 確表示支持科大2012-2015年學術發展建議書的規劃 及進度，科大全額資助第一年學士學位課程的學額將 增加達1.4%，以及增設43個高年級的學額。我們已 完成設計核心課程，而以學院為本的取錄制度亦將增 加學生選科的彈性。為迎接「三三四」而進行的多個基 建工程項目進展順利，其中圖書館已完成擴建、新翼 已經啟用；8號及9號學生宿舍、高等研究院和商學院 新大樓工程正在進行。 今年，科大新的領導層成員已全部到任。五年策略發 展計劃是我們上下一心、共同努力的成果，並得到學 院及校董會等主要持份者的支持。我們需要向社會展 示清晰的發展藍圖，我衷心感謝顧問委員會及校董會 積極參與，並惠賜睿智意見。 科大已成為一所卓越的研究型大學，而要進一步提升 聲譽，我們需要得到更大支持，特別是來自大學領導 層的支持。因此，科大在2010年底推出由本人構思 的特別研究基金計劃，大學透過提供一次性的種子撥 款，推動策略性跨學科的研究工作。我們收到約40 份建議書，涵蓋四個範疇：能源、生命科學及醫療衞 生、香港可持續發展、以及前沿研究。它們均以科大 的跨學科方式進行，並將合共獲得超過港幣3,600萬 元的撥款。獨立評審工作由資深的評審小組負責，成 員包括諾貝爾獎得主、高研院著名訪問學者等。 This is a good year for HKUST — the year when our bona fides as a world-class university are visibly validated. The singular news that has caught everyone’s attention this year is our No. 1 ranking among Asian universities. We remain top-drawer in business education, and have either maintained or inched upwards in international standings in various disciplines. These are salivating achievements for a young and hungry University, giving us much to cheer about at our 20th Anniversary Grand Celebration on 8 April. The year-long celebration is an all-HKUST affair, with faculty, students, alumni all coming together to mark this milestone. Success has brought us closer together and emboldened us to dream bigger dreams. A world-ranked university entails all-round excellence. In our case, this is reaffirmed by the Quality Assurance Council audit which gave us a clean bill of health. We received laurels for doing a good job in teaching and research with plans to do even better. It praised us for developing a robust “research-teaching nexus” in which we utilize research as an effective instrument in educating our students. It applauds our well-defined ideal student profile with ideal attributes. Although known to the world as a research university, we are commended for offering students an education that encompasses effective student mentoring, a high-ratio of well-managed international exchange program and learning that is inquiry-based and interdisciplinary in nature. All eyes are on the fast-approaching 4-year degree program, now only a year away. Here again, the UGC has emphatically endorsed our planning and progress as outlined in our Academic Development Proposal (ADP) for 2012-2015. In consequence, HKUST has been awarded an increase of 1.4 per cent in fully funded First Year First Degree places. Our request for an additional 43 senior year places was likewise acceded to. Our core curriculum is in place, and our school-based admission is designed to give students flexibility in their academic selections. In capital developments for 3-3-4, our library extension is up and running. Construction for Student Halls VIII and IX is underway, and so are the new IAS and Business School buildings. In terms of preparation, we are on schedule and on song. This year, HKUST’s top leadership finally has a full slate, our 5-year Strategic Plan being the first fruits of its collective labor. This is a bottom-up process that has corralled the support of our key stakeholders, including different schools, and, notably, members of Council. In an ever-evolving environment, we need a clearly sign-posted road map visible to the entire community. In this and other matters, I am beholden to members of Court and Council for their active participation and wise counsel. We are making a splash as an elite research university. Enhancing this reputation calls for additional support. I, for one, believe that this support should come from the top leadership. That is why the presidentially inspired Special Research Fund Initiative was launched in late 校長報告 President’s Report 6 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 7 2010, providing one-time seed funding for strategic team based and interdisciplinary research. Some 40 proposals have come in under four categories: Energy, Life Science and Health-Related, Sustainable Development for Hong Kong and Frontier Research. They all bear our signature interdisciplinary approach. Total allocations will exceed $36 million. Independent reviews are carried out by a star studded panel consisting of Nobel laureates and eminent, visiting IAS scholars. The reputation of a university rests on the quality of its students and faculty. In both areas, we try hard to ensure the caliber of our intake. In faculty recruitment, we are going global, as we always have. To date, 35 new faculty members from top universities have come on board. We are still trawling for more. Talent-scouting is one reason among many why the Vice-President for Institutional Advancement and I went to the East Coast of the US in May this year, visiting 10 universities in three cities, getting to know more about their leaders and their graduates. In student recruitment, our rising international rankings are like a magnet, attracting high-caliber students from near and far. This year our non-local intake hits 18 per cent, the highest in local higher education. This number is significant and it is almost evenly split between Mainland and overseas students. A good university is a global university, and we are global not only in our student body and faculty composition, but also in global outreach. This year, we put out our welcome mat for the Vice Chancellor of Cambridge and the Presidents of Caltech and Chicago as well as the Deans from MIT among others. The national and international media representatives also came calling for a familiarization visit. Our global partnerships continue to sprout in leading universities. To name just one, we recently established a Joint Undergraduate Research Exchange Program for Engineering Students between HKUST and Princeton University. Any talk of global outreach is incomplete without a reference to our Mainland strategy. We have a good start in the Pearl River Delta with our HKUST Fok Ying Tung Graduate School in Nansha, now in talks with the Guangzhou Government for wide-ranging collaborations. In Shenzhen our IER building has been completed in 大學的聲譽取決於師生的質素，因此我們致力取錄最優秀的 師生，並繼續在全球各地招聘教學人才。我們至今已新聘了 35位來自海外著名學府的教師，而且仍在不斷羅致人才。為 此我和副校長（大學拓展）今年5月專程前往美國東岸訪問 了三個城市的十所大學，加深對其領導層及畢業生的認識， 有助物色優秀的教研人員。 我們持續上升的國際排名吸引了國內外優秀學生入讀科大。 今年，我們招收的本科生中有18% 是非本地學生，是本地高 等學府中的最高比例。科大招收的大量非本地學生中，近半 來自內地，另一半來自海外。 優秀的大學，亦必須是全球化的大學。科大匯聚全球優秀的 學生和教學人員，我們的網絡遍及全球。今年，我們接待到 訪的劍橋大學校長、加州理工學院及芝加哥大學校長，以及 麻省理工學院校長等。地區及國際傳媒的代表亦應邀到訪科 大。我們繼續與世界各地更多知名大學締結夥伴關係，最近 更為科大及普林斯頓大學工程學院的學生共同設立聯校工程 本科生研究交流合作計劃。 談到全球網絡，科大的內地發展策略肯定是其中關鍵的一 環。科大在珠三角南沙成立的霍英東研究院，已有很好的勢 頭；我們同時正與廣州政府磋商一系列的合作項目。深圳產 學研大樓已於今年落成，我們並於華東開設浙江先進製造研 究所，提供了一個集研究、技術創新及技術轉移、以及培訓 當地企業家的平台。有人說21 世紀是中國人的世紀，我們 已作好準備，並且樂意悉力參與其中。 科大成立雖然只有20年，卻已在全球約40個地點建立校友 網絡。300多位海外校友為負笈海外的科大畢業生提供旅居 海外的寶貴意見，令畢業生受益不淺。今年上半年，我很高 興能在海外舉行七個校友聚會並與科大畢業生暢談，聚會地 點遍及深圳、上海、新加坡、瑞士、倫敦、洛杉磯、波士頓 及紐約。我們並計劃日後舉辦更多校友聚會。 科大創校20年後，建立了本身獨特的文化。「同一科大」 （1-HKUST）的理念突顯凝聚力量與發揮協同效應，顯示眾 志成城的力量 — 整體比各個部分的總和更為龐大。學生 方面，我們最近推出「同一科大」學生生活獎，贊助學生舉 辦活動，從而展示他們多方面的才能和團結校園的不同群 體。各學院攜手實踐使命，將學術研究活動融入本科生課程 之中。 為慶祝創校20周年，來自不同學系的百多位同學攜手合 作，在短短六個星期內製作了兩場叫好叫座的百老匯音樂劇 — 艾爾頓‧ 約翰/蒂姆‧ 萊斯《阿依達》，不但展示科大學生 的才藝，更反映這所年青科技大學的文化素養。 在短短20年間，我們提升了香港的學術研究文化，令市民 加深認識科技對推動經濟轉型的重要性。隨著國家踏上科技 建國的大道，我們的責任亦更加重大。科大已籌劃發展大 計，前路更見清晰。我們已準備就緒、立定志向，勢將奮力 向前，向著目標邁進。 校長 陳繁昌教授 太平紳士 January this year. Further north, the Zhejiang Advanced Manufacturing Institute of HKUST offers a platform for research, innovation and technology transfer, as well as training for local entrepreneurs. The 21st century is said to be China’s century, and we are ready, willing and able to be part of it. Young as we are, we now have the beginnings of a global alumni network in some 40 locations throughout the world, with over 300 hosts providing much-appreciated relocation services to our graduates. I was glad to meet our graduates at seven overseas alumni gatherings in the first half of this year, from Shenzhen to Shanghai, Singapore to Switzerland, and London to Los Angeles, not to mention Boston and New York. More are planned for the future. After two decades, we are ready for own ethos to evolve. Hence the “1-HKUST” concept, which in essence means that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Among students, the newly launched “President’s 1-HKUST Student Life Award” initiative sponsors student-organized activities that showcase their multiple talents and draw together the multiple segments of the campus community. The Schools, energized by a new spirit, are working together to advance our mission. This concept also feeds research into education even at the undergraduate level. As part of our 20th Anniversary celebrations, a group of 100 students from various disciplines came together to produce in just six weeks two sold-out performances of Elton John and Tim Rice’s “AIDA”, a Broadway musical. They are emblematic of what our students are capable of, telling the world that, culturally, this young university has arrived. In just 20 years, we have raised the research culture in our city, and roused our community’s interest in our economic transformation through science and technology. A weightier mission awaits us, as our nation embarks on its path to a technological future. The plan is fixed, the path is clear, and the hour is set. We are ready for our destiny.

The University took the opportunity to celebrate its spectacular rise, which has seen it become Asia’s top-ranked University in just two decades. The year also marks the beginning of HKUST’s 5-year Strategic Plan 2011-2016 as the University reaches new frontiers

Our people Thanks must go to the Organizing Committee, which involved a truly collective effort by HKUST faculty members, staff, students and alumni. The University’s supporters and members of the community are also gratefully recognized for their help in making the year such a memorable one. Long Service Award A celebration of the HKUST community was the appropriate starting point for the year-long 20th Anniversary program. This saw a Long Service Award Ceremony take place, honoring more than 250 faculty and staff who had served the University for 20 years. At the event, President Tony F Chan expressed his appreciation of the loyalty and dedicated service given by these community members and acknowledged how their continuous contribution has helped the University to achieve its current standing. Run for Vision HKUST Run for Vision offered a further demonstration of the unity of the University community and its care for others. Led by President Chan, the event drew more than 350 members of faculty, staff and students to raise funds for Orbis, a charity providing care and treatment for the blind and visually impaired. Grand Celebration To bring together and pay tribute to all supporters, the University held a Grand Celebration for the 20th Anniversary on 8 April 2011. Vice-Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress Mr Han Qide and HKSAR Chief Executive Mr Donald Tsang officiated at the event. Among the 500 guests were consuls-general, donors, HKUST’s collaborative partners, together with the University’s faculty, staff, students and alumni. Celebration Party Over 3,000 members of the HKUST family converged on campus for the University’s 20th Anniversary Celebration Party, featuring a dazzling array of culturally diverse performances. A commemorative album, showcasing its past accomplishments and future goals, was launched. Equipped with a special software, it can set in motion a 3D film bringing the President on screen for an innovative introduction of the album. During the year, faculty members and students hosted various activities including the HKUST “Bring Technology to Community” Exhibition, the Global Business Conference, the Asia Regional Jamboree of the International Genetically Engineered Machine Competition and many others. 人才濟濟 校慶活動由教職員、學生及校友組成的校慶委 員會籌劃，得到大學成員及社會各界人士的支 持，為今年增添難忘時刻。 長期服務獎 長達一年的20周年校慶活動，由表揚教職員貢 獻的長期服務獎頒獎禮揭開序幕。教職員是大 學的基石，貢獻良多。科大特別嘉許逾250 名 服務20年的教職員，陳繁昌校長感謝各得主竭 誠服務、努力不懈，協助科大取得成就。 「齊展步 創 新視野」 「齊展步 創 新視野」活動展現科大上下同心 同德、關懷他人的精神。在陳校長帶領下，超 過350 名教職員及學生出席活動，為慈善組織 奧比斯籌款，讓失明及視障人士重見光明。 慶祝大會 科大於2011年4月8日舉辦20周年校慶慶祝大 會，向師生、校友和社會各界表達謝意。大會 由全國人民代表大會常務委員會副委員長韓啟 德教授及香港特區行政長官曾蔭權先生主禮， 共500 名賓客出席，包括各國總領事、捐款 人、科大合作夥伴，以及本校教職員、學生與 校友等。來自世界各地的領袖及大學代表亦出 席慶祝活動，顯示科大受到國際認同。 師生同慶 3,000 多名師生與校友於大學20 周年聯歡大會 上聚首一堂，透過表演展現科大的多元文化。 於同日出版的20 周年校慶紀念冊回顧過去、 展望未來，特製軟件更顯示陳校長親自介紹科 大與紀念冊的三維短片，將創意科技融入日常 生活。 科大師生並舉辦多項活動，包括科大「工程在 生活」展覽、環球商業管理學生論壇，及國際 基因工程機器比賽2011亞洲區比賽等。 12 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 創．新傳奇 卓越教研20載 OUR MIRALE CONTINUES HKUST celebrates 20 years of education and research excellence 13 Alumni Gatherings Over 42,000 alumni around the world are growing from strength to strength, with their ties further tightened through a number of reunions held in Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Singapore, London, Switzerland, Boston, Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.

Discussion focused on the latest scientific developments on the expanding universe and its puzzles, including the inflationary universe, string theory and dark matter. The event illustrated how HKUST positions itself at the forefront of scientific and technological advances and creates a platform for gathering leading academics to work on global challenges in these areas. HKUST Science and Technology Forum Leading experts from academia, industry and government gathered to discuss the way forward at the Forum on The Forum on “Innovation for the Future of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta”. 14 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 創新傳奇 卓越教研20載 OUR MIRACLE CONTINUES HKUST celebrates 20 years of education and research excellence 15 Global vision Presidents Dialogue The celebrations included visits from distinguished leaders of internationally renowned institutions and major academic figures who engaged in thought-provoking discussions at HKUST. President Tony F Chan hosted separate dialogues with Prof Jean-Lou Chameau, President of Caltech, and Sir Leszek Borysiewicz, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge, on the challenges that globalization presents for higher education. Prof Christopher Pissarides, London School of Economics and Political Science and Nobel Laureate in Economic Sciences, spoke on equilibrium in the labor market at the UC Rusal President’s Forum. Engagement with Global Leaders The University’s international reputation and reach, built up over the past two decades of continuous interaction and contribution, saw it receive over 100 congratulatory messages from global leaders of universities, institutes, governments, businesses and industries for its 20th Anniversary. Outreach The University continues to strengthen connections overseas as President Tony F Chan visited leaders of prestigious universities around the world and hosted reunions with HKUST’s alumni abroad. The University has stepped up its efforts to reach out to international media as its faculty members continue to demonstrate their teaching and research capabilities at overseas conferences and through published articles on authoritative academic journals. Serving the community HKUST Service Learning Day Over a weekend in April, students, faculty, alumni and staff spread out across the community to participate in a variety of service opportunities and pave the way for more University-community engagement in the future. A total of 700 members of the University took part in 35 service projects, mobilizing the entire HKUST population in this significant and positive venture. Einstein in Hong Kong Taking science and technology into the community and raising awareness of its importance in our everyday lives has been another significant focus of the celebratory program. To promote the culture of science in the society, HKUST co-organized Einstein in Hong Kong, a leading public exhibition introducing the contributions and great ideas of the top-notch scientist who shaped world history. This was accompanied by science talks, workshops, and a Letters to Einstein writing competition for secondary school students. The Intimacy of Creativity — The Bright Sheng Partnership To encourage and explore the process of creativity, the 20th Anniversary presented a first-of-its-kind series of music workshops and concerts in Hong Kong, with rehearsals open to students and members of the community. “Composers Meet Performers in Hong Kong” brought together professional musicians and emerging composers under the guidance of internationally renowned composer and musician Prof Bright Sheng to showcase the creative process of a new work. The series helped to uncover some of the mysteries of music and inspire innovative thinking among those attending. Artistic Talents at HKUST The HKUST community also demonstrated its own diverse capabilities go beyond science and technology. The HKUST Summer Musical led to the Hong Kong premiere of Elton John and Tim Rice’s “Aida”, an artistic endeavor reaffirming the University’s emphasis on an all-round educational experience. The University Philharmonic Orchestra, organized by student volunteers and including exchange students, graduates, postgraduate researchers, combined their 5th Anniversary Concert with HKUST’s 20th Anniversary celebrations. Embedding the University’s community presence further, the musical shows and concert both took place off campus. Exhibition The HKUST 20th Anniversary Exhibition — Our Miracle Continues: A Visual Presentation was presented at HKUST’s library to give visitors an overview of the University’s milestones in the past two decades. Into the future The 20th Anniversary has thus been a time for reflection, joy and for harnessing the University’s collective strengths to move toward new frontiers. Events have taken a variety of forms to enable the University to highlight the different roles it plays and to recognize the people who enable HKUST to drive for excellence and show its caring spirit. With activities continuing into the next reporting year, many more celebrations are yet to come as the University raises the profile of its creative endeavors and strides into the future where Our Miracle is set to continue. 口號及標誌 The slogan and logo 科大的成就，經常被形容為奇蹟。校慶籌委會決定以「創‧ 新傳奇」作為活動的口號，反映科大的成功 傳奇及不斷求進的決心。 科大20 周年校慶的標誌，結合了科大的中、英文名字及代表科大的日晷（ 亦稱為「紅鳥」）。「紅鳥」矗立 於科大正門，展現科大的活力和動力。絲帶的波浪形側影及飄飄美態，則盡顯校慶的喜氣。 The story of HKUST has frequently been described as miraculous. With this in mind, the Organizing Committee decided to make “Our Miracle Continues” the theme of its celebratory slogan. In doing so, the slogan captured the University’s legendary success as well as its determination to keep on advancing in the future. The 20th Anniversary logo encompassed the University’s name in English and Chinese and its iconic Sundial, also known as the “Redbird”, which greets all visitors to HKUST at the main entrance and projects our soaring energy and vibrant environment. The wavy silhouette of the ribbons and its delicate movements indicated the festive nature of the year. 環球視野 校長論壇 國際知名學府的領導人及傑出學人到科大訪問，並與校內 師生進行討論，啟迪思維。陳校長就全球化對高等教育的 挑戰，分別與加州理工學院校長Jean-Lou Chameau及劍橋 大學校長Sir Leszek Borysiewicz進行討論。倫敦政治經濟學 院及諾貝爾經濟學獎得主Christopher Pissarides 教授則於俄 鋁校長論壇上主講勞動市場的均衡狀態。 聯繫環球領袖 過去20 年來，科大不斷透過互動交流建立國際聲譽及網 絡。校慶期間，全球各地逾百大學、學術組織、政府及工 商機構均熱烈致賀。 開拓網絡 科大不斷加強與海外的聯繫，陳校長年內探訪全球多所知 名大學的領導層，並主持科大海外校友的聚會。科大教員 積極在國際會議上展現教學及科研成果，並在權威學術期 刊上發表文章，科大亦與國際媒體加強聯繫。 服務社群 科大侍學日 4 月一個周末，科大師生、校友及員工走進社群，參與各 種社區服務，啓動未來一年大學與社區的聯繫工作。700 名科大師生參與了35項服務項目，鼓勵大家投入饒富意義 的活動。 愛因斯坦在香江 科大校慶活動的另一個焦點是將科技帶入人群，讓市民更 加關注科技對日常生活的重要性。為推廣科學文化，科大 協辦「愛因斯坦在香江」，介紹這位頂尖科學家作出的貢獻 及偉大思想，同時舉行科學講座、工作坊，以及為中學生 而設的「給愛因斯坦教授的信」徵文比賽。 創意間的親暱 — 盛宗亮與國際作曲家/ 演奏家聚會 香港 科大呈獻香港首見的一系列音樂工作坊及音樂會，並公開 讓學生及市民參觀排練活動。專業音樂家及年青作曲家薈 萃「作曲家/ 演奏家聚會香港」活動，國際著名作曲家兼音 樂家盛宗亮教授示範新作的創作過程，讓更多人了解音樂 創作的奧妙，並啓迪創意思維。 藝術才華 科大師生多才多藝，呈獻仲夏音樂劇艾爾頓‧ 約翰/ 蒂姆‧ 萊斯《阿依達》香港首演，再次見證科大的全人教育。由科 大交換生、畢業生、研究生及教研人員組成的科大管弦樂 團，將五周年紀念音樂會與科大20周年校慶相結合。音樂 劇及音樂會均在校外舉行，體現科大融入社區的理念。 展覽活動 科大圖書館舉行「創‧ 新傳奇」影像展，讓公眾人士認識科 大過去20年的發展歷程。 展望未來 科大20 周年校慶，師生同享喜樂、匯聚力量，共同開拓 新領域。科大並向外界展示大學肩負的角色，表揚各方支 持、科大的卓越成就和關愛精神。來年科大將繼續努力締 造更多值得慶賀的時刻，發揮非凡創意，邁向未來，延續 傳奇。 教與學 Teaching and Learning 18 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 19 教與學 Teaching and Learning Undergraduate education Educating the next generation of community leaders is part of HKUST’s core mission. Each year, HKUST graduates more than 2,000 young people from over 40 undergraduate programs. These dynamic bachelor degrees have been carefully designed to provide a holistic experience that can realize each student’s potential and achieve learning outcomes that can ensure graduates’ success in their careers and personal lives. Class sizes are small and delivered by a highly qualified international team of faculty members. HKUST’s facilities are also excellent, including a world-class library, IT facilities and laboratories, all located within a beautiful campus setting. An important part of the student experience at HKUST is an active and internationalized campus life and the University continues to make strides toward the diversification of the student body. TRANSFORMING THE UNDERGRADUATE EXPERIENCE Hong Kong’s education reform will reach a critical point in September 2012, when the first class of secondary school students graduates with the new Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE). In that year, HKUST will accept entrants with both the HKDSE and the final class graduating with HKALE results, an event often referred to as the “double cohort”. The year thus proved a busy and productive 12 months as preparations continued to meet the challenge of the double cohort but also to optimize the tremendous opportunity to enhance degree programs, which will move from three to four years. In early 2011, the University submitted its Academic Development Proposals (ADP) to the University Grants Committee (UGC) setting out detailed plans for the period 2012-2015. The UGC welcomed these proposals and assigned additional student numbers to HKUST, noting that the University has reached a positive stage of change and development. In the ADP, the basic intentions for the HKUST undergraduate experience were clearly defined. HKUST’s objective is to provide: Flexible degree programs that expose students to multiple cross-disciplinary and inter-disciplinary perspectives A broad-based University Common Core, opening students’ horizons and strengthening critical thinking Inquiry-based learning and undergraduate research opportunities to stimulate creativity and curiosity based on H KUST’s internationally recognized research strength Meaningful co-curricular activities to cultivate global citizenship, provide practical experiences, enhance creativity and foster social responsibility. Over the year, both three-year degree programs and the new fouryear degree curriculum took steps forward. New interdisciplinary majors, minors and cross-School programs have been introduced. During 2010-2011, plans for the Division of Biomedical Engineering were successfully advanced, leading to the new academic unit being established under the Interdisciplinary Programs Office in July 2011. The move provides a further platform to bring together the strengths of HKUST’s Schools to develop new interdisciplinary programs and courses. 本科生教育 科大的核心使命，是培育社會未來的棟樑。每年，2,000 多名來自40多項本科生課程的學生於科大畢業。這些本科 課程均經過精心設計，務求令學生獲得全面的學習體驗、 盡展潛能，達致學習成果，有助畢業生開創成功事業和活 出豐盛人生。 科大推行小班教學，由具國際視野的資深教授任教。科大 擁有一流的學習設施，包括世界級的圖書館、資訊科技設 施及實驗室，校園環境優美。多姿多彩和國際化的校園生 活，是豐富學習體驗的重要元素，大學並將致力保持國際 化的特色。 提升本科生的學習體驗 香港的教育改革將於2012 年9 月邁進關鍵時刻，首批應 考香港中學文憑的學生將畢業。科大屆時將同時取錄香港 中學文憑的考生、及最後一批香港高級程度會考的畢業 生。為迎接雙學制帶來的挑戰，今年科大的工作特別繁 重。科大同時把握三改四這個寶貴機會，提升學位課程的 質素。 2011 年初，科大向大學教育資助委員會（ 教資會）提交大 學的學術發展建議書，詳列科大於2012-2015 年的規劃。 教資會對建議書表示歡迎，並支持科大增加收生人數。教 資會明白科大已邁進新的里程，積極發展。科大在學術發 展建議書中，清晰列舉本科生教育的主要理念，其中包 括： 靈活的學位課程，以提升多學科及跨學科的體驗； 大學核心課程內容廣泛，開拓學生視野及提高其獨立 思考能力； 憑藉廣獲國際認同的研究實力，充份利用科大研究優 勢，實踐探索為本的學習模式及增加本科生參與研究 的機會，激發創意和探求精神； 舉辦有意義的課外活動，以培養學生的環球公民意 識、提供實際經驗、增加創意，以及建立社會責任。 年內，科大現有的三年制和新的四年制學位課程均有長足 發展，並推出了跨學科主修、副修及跨學院課程。科大致 力發展生物醫學工程，並在2011年7月在跨學科課程事務 處成立了生物醫學工程學部。這項發展有助凝聚科大各學 院的實力，以開辦新的跨學科課程與科目。 20 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 21 教與學 Teaching and Learning SCHOOL-BASED ADMISSION Preparations for School-based admission, which builds on the experience of the School of Business and Management and more recently the School of Engineering, also moved ahead. Under the four year system, all undergraduates will be admitted to a School, rather than a program. This provides students with an opportunity to make a delayed choice in their specialization and gain the foundation necessary to study across a number of disciplines. UNIVERSITY COMMON CORE A major change in the four-year degree is that all students will take courses under the University Common Core rather than the current School-based general education model. The objective of the Common Core is to assist personal development by broadening general knowledge and intellectual qualities, increasing appreciation of culture and boosting awareness of basic human values. It spans a broad range of courses under the categories of Arts and Humanities, Social Analysis, Science and Technology, Quantitative Reasoning and English and Chinese Communication and covers the equivalent of one full year of study. Each area will have a prescribed credit requirement. There will also be a noncredit Healthy Lifestyle program. The Common Core has already been implemented for three-year degree students through the migration of existing general education courses and development of a large number of new courses. During 2010-2011, work also progressed well on 15 signature Common Core courses sponsored by different Schools. These integrate disciplines and transcend traditional subject area boundaries and will be piloted in the next academic year. A number of practicum arts courses were piloted in 2010-2011, receiving a warm welcome from students and attracting over 200 enrollments for the seven courses. Significant redevelopment and extension of HKUST’s English language program has also been ongoing, with fully revised Year 1 courses to enhance students’ English language proficiency implemented for three-year degree students. Four-year students will complete a total of 12 credits in English language and a further three credits in Chinese Communication. In addition, about 180 existing general education courses have been undergoing review to become Common Core courses. Over 250 courses will be available for students to choose from in 2012. The vision behind these moves is to realize the 1-HKUST goal of educating students to become responsible, informed citizens, helping to build their community. STUDENT EXCHANGE The University believes exchange programs have an essential role in its student experience. The programs enable students to study and live outside Hong Kong for one or more semesters and bring their peers from across the world to HKUST. Such programs widen horizons and understanding, foster independence and new friendships, and bring new awareness of different ways of life. In line with this, HKUST has taken a leadership role in developing an extensive network of national and global partners. By 2010-2011, more than 150 partnerships with universities and institutions globally had been arranged, with 38 per cent of undergraduate students at HKUST participating in these life-changing opportunities for development. UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM The popular Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP) creates a wide range of opportunities for students to experience research under the supervision of HKUST’s world-class professors. It saw more than 20 per cent of faculty lead research projects involving close to 250 students in 2010-2011. The rapid growth in participation reflects the HKUST community’s shared aspiration to integrate academic research and undergraduate teaching. It also demonstrates the additional value that a leading research University can provide in the educational experience its students receive. In addition, undergraduate research was the focus of the University’s fourth teaching and learning symposium organized by the Center for Enhanced Learning and Teaching. Over 75 faculty participants joined this successful and highly interactive symposium and 50 per cent of the attendees were from sister institutions. 學院為本的取錄模式 科大以工商管理學院和工學院的經驗為基礎，進一步為學院為本的取錄模式 作好準備。在四年制下，所有本科生將由學院取錄，而不是由學系取錄。這 樣，學生可以延遲選擇主修課程，多修讀不同學科以打好基礎。 大學核心課程 四年制學位課程的一項重要改變，是所有學生均須修讀大學核心課程，以取 代現行以學院為本的通識教育模式。核心課程的目的，是促進學生的個人發 展，包括豐富學生基本常識和學術素養、提升文化欣賞能力，並加強對人類 核心價值的認識。課程類別廣泛，包括藝術及人文科學、社會分析、科學與 科技、計量推理及中英傳意等，所修的學分相等於一個學年的時間，每個範 圍均有學分規定。此外，學生必須修讀不計學分的健康生活模式課程。 科大已透過轉移現有的通識教育課程及開辦大量新課程，落實三年制課程下 的核心課程。年內，由不同學院開辦15 個具代表性的品牌課程進展理想， 課程融合不同學科領域，超越了傳統科目的界限，將於下一學年首辦。 科大於2010-2011年首辦多個實踐藝術課程，深受學生歡迎，七個課程共吸 引200多名學生報讀。科大同時大幅度重編和擴大英語課程的內容，經全面 修訂的一年級英語課程有助提升學生的英語能力，並已在三年制學位課程學 生之中推行。四年制學生將完成共12個學分的英語課程，以及另外3個學分 的中文傳意課程。 此外，科大致力檢討約180項現有通識教育課程，將之整合為核心課程，自 2012年起提供超過250項課程。 上述措施充分體現「同一科大」的目標，培養學生成為有責任感及有識見的公 民，共建美好社會。 學生交換計劃 科大深信國際學生交換計劃是學習體驗的重要一環，讓學生可以在香港以外 學習和生活一個學期或以上，同時讓世界各地的學生前來科大進修。計劃有 助擴闊學生的視野和識見、培養獨立能力和建立社交網絡，並認識不同的生 活方式。因此，科大特地發展廣泛的國家及環球夥伴網絡。截至2010-2011 年，科大已與全球超過150所大學及機構建立了夥伴關係，多達38%的科大 本科生有機會成為交換生，體驗不同經歷。 本科生研究計劃 科大廣受歡迎的本科生研究計劃，讓同學在世界級教授的指導下進行研究。 年內超過20%的教授參與研究計劃，參加的學生接近250名。學生人數正不 斷增長，反映科大師生對結合學術研究與本科生教學有著共同的理念。計劃 同時顯示，研究型大學能夠提升學生的學習體驗。 另外，科大教學促進中心舉辦的第四屆教與學研討會以本科生研究為主題， 超過75 名教授與教學人員交流切磋，包括過半來自其他本地大學的學者， 成績美滿。 22 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 23 教與學 Teaching and Learning OFFICE OF THE DEAN OF STUDENTS With the aim of enhancing the effectiveness in planning and delivery of student services and programs, the Student Affairs Office has been integrated with the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Education since March 2011. The Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Education has also been renamed as the Office of the Dean of Students with its scope and function being expanded to take charge of undergraduate recruitment and admissions, the formulation and review of policies for co-curricular activities, University core curriculum, and the student experience at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. DYNAMIC POSTGRADUATE STUDIES The total enrollment of postgraduate students in 2010- 2011 stood at 3,711, compared with 3,507 the previous year, representing a growth of 5.8 per cent. Of these students, 1,351 were research postgraduates and the remaining 2,360 were enrolled on coursework master’s degree programs. Research postgraduates constituted 36.4 per cent of the total postgraduate student population. The Quality Assurance Council’s report from its Quality Audit Visit in March 2010 was released in November 2010. The audit reviewed the work of HKUST programs from undergraduate to postgraduate and the subsequent report commended the University, among other things, “for its quality assurance processes for research postgraduate programs and for the extensive support it provides to research students”. RESEARCH POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS 2010-2011 marked the arrival of the first batch of PhD students admitted through the Hong Kong PhD Fellowship Scheme, an elite award initiative under Hong Kong’s Research Grants Council to attract the best PhD students worldwide to study in the city. The University secured 32 awardees, which constituted about 27 per cent of the total awards and recognized HKUST’s standing as a global research institution. Other internationalization efforts continued to bear fruit. The international research student population increased from 43 in the previous year to 60, representing significant growth. In addition, many research students were able to attend international conferences through the University’s Research Travel Grant Scheme. During the year, selected PhD students had the opportunity to visit research teams overseas for a period of up to six months under the Research Attachment Scheme, which has been set up to enhance international research exposure. A total of 20 PhD students participated in 2010-2011 and feedback on the scheme was highly positive. Host institutions included AT&T Labs, Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, Yale, UC Davis, Technische Universitat Dermstadt, Monash, Pavia, Loughborough, and Manchester. Students who joined the scheme were able to connect professionally with a different team of researchers in a totally new research setting and culture, and widen their international network. TAUGHT POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMS The demand for advanced education to meet the lifelong learning needs of working professionals has remained strong. While the enrollment of students taking taught postgraduate programs part-time (mainly local students) appears to have stabilized, those undertaking full-time programs have increased by about 11 per cent. This compares with average growth of 5.8 per cent across postgraduate programs. Of the 2,360 students enrolled on taught postgraduate programs, 759 or 32.2 per cent were on full-time programs. Overall, non-local students constituted 38 per cent of the taught postgraduate student population. On the program side, the MSc in Environmental Science was re-named the MSc in Environmental Science and Management to reflect the program’s greater emphasis on environmental management. The School of Business and Management launched its first company-sponsored MSc in Global Management program. The inaugural class comprised staff from a major finance company from Korea. ADMINISTRATIVE REVAMP To create further momentum for the development of postgraduate education, the Office of the Vice- President for Research and Development has been re-organized as the Office of the Vice-President for Research and Graduate Studies since November 2010. A new leadership structure was introduced in February 2011, which enables the Provost and Vice-President for Research and Graduate Studies to exercise dual leadership and responsibility. The Provost continues to provide academic oversight and planning, including programs, enrollment and curriculum development and approval while the Vice-President for Research and 學務長辦公室 為提升學生服務及課程的規劃與執行成效，學生事務處於 2011年3月與本科生教務長辦公室合併。本科生教務長辦 公室現更名為學務長辦公室，工作範圍及職能擴展至本科 招生及入學、制訂及檢討與課程相關活動的政策、大學核 心課程，以及本科生及研究生的學習體驗。 研究生教育 年內科大的研究生人數為3,711 人，較去年的3,507 人增加 5.8%，其中1,351 人修讀研究學位課程，佔研究生總數的 36.4%；其餘2,360人修讀修課碩士課程。 質素保證局於2010 年3 月到訪科大，並於11 月公佈質素 核證報告。質保局全面評審科大的本科及研究生課程，報 告讚揚科大為研究生課程訂立質素保證程序，並為研究生 提供全面支援。 研究學位課程 2010-2011 年，科大取錄首批透過香港博士研究生獎學金 計劃入讀的博士生。這項計劃是香港研究資助局推出的優 才獎勵計劃，吸引世界各地的優秀博士生來港學習。科大 取錄了32 名獎學金得主，佔獎學金得主總數約27%，顯 示科大作為世界級研究型大學的地位備受認同。 科大致力提倡國際化，並繼續取得成果。國際研究生人數 由去年的43 人增至今年的60 人，增幅顯著。不少研究生 更獲科大的研究旅遊資助計劃資助，出席國際會議。 獲選的博士生可參加研究實習計劃，到訪海外研究機構達 六個月；計劃的宗旨是豐富學生的國際研究體驗。年內， 共有20位博士生參與計劃，對計劃評價甚高。實習計劃的 主辦單位包括AT&T實驗室、卡尼基美隆大學、哥倫比亞大 學、耶魯大學、加州大學戴維斯分校、達姆施塔特工業大 學、蒙納殊大學、帕維亞大學、盧保路科技大學及曼徹斯 特大學等。參加計劃的學生可與來自不同研究和文化背景 的科研團隊建立聯繫，拓展專業與國際網絡。 修課研究生課程 在職專業人士對高等教育與終身學習的需求持續殷切，科 大兼讀制修課研究生課程的學生人數（ 主要為本地學生）保 持平穩，全日制修課研究生課程的學生人數則上升11%， 而研究生課程人數亦有5.8%的平均增幅。2,360 名報讀 修課研究生課程的學生中，759 名、即約佔32.2%報讀全 日制課程。整體而言，非本地學生佔修課研究生總數的 38%。 課程方面，環境科學理學碩士課程已易名為環境科學及管 理理學碩士課程，反映課程將加強環境管理。工商管理學 院開辦首項由企業贊助的理學碩士（ 環球管理）課程，學員 是韓國一家大型金融公司的專業人士。 行政改革 為進一步推動研究生教育，副校長（ 研究及發展）辦公室於 2010 年11 月重組為副校長（ 研發及研究生教育）辦公室， 並於2011 年2 月制定新領導架構，首席副校長和副校長 （ 研發及研究生教育）共同肩負領導工作和責任。首席副校 長繼續提供學術監察及規劃，包括課程、收生、課程發展 與審批，而副校長（ 研發及研究生教育）則根據科大的策略 發展提升研究生教育及培訓的質素。 24 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 25 教與學 Teaching and Learning Graduate Studies is responsible for the enhancement of postgraduate education and training and linking this to the University’s strategic development. STUDENT LIFE HKUST focuses on creating an all-round education for students, encouraging them to make good use of the many learning opportunities outside the classroom that the University offers. These range from specific student development programs to opportunities to run and participate in one of HKUST’s many sports clubs, or join one of the thriving student hall communities based on various interests and hobbies. DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS The President’s 1-HKUST Student Life Award The launch of the President’s 1-HKUST Student Life Award in January 2011 has been encouraging students to initiate campus-wide projects that can enhance the sense of community at HKUST. There were five events under this scheme: • The March in March hiking event, to encourage fitness and connections with the natural world and other members of HKUST • UST Great Minds – 10 Star Professors – 10 Minutes Each, featuring faculty members from across the University each discussing one big idea they are passionate about • Organic Fun Day @ HKUST, with family activities and games for the HKUST community • The HKUST Talent Contest, providing a platform for performances from a multinational group of students • Another student project “HKUST Without Boundary” aims to enhance connection between local, Mainland and international students with a photo competition, game activities and food gatherings. REDbird REDbird, the personal development award scheme sponsored by the Drs Richard Charles and Esther Yewpick Lee Charitable Foundation, continued to attract a substantial response with over 250 students joining the program as members and 40 as coaches. REDbird centers on training and out-of-classroom experiences that challenge students and prepare them to become contributing members of society. HKUST Connect Building on the University’s efforts to raise civic awareness, develop sustainable partnerships with the wider community, deepen student learning and promote a more humane world, HKUST Connect links members of the University to those outside through service projects and learning. Showing the University community’s willingness to participate in such an initiative, HKUST Connect attracted over 1,300 participants who were engaged in 86 service projects, accumulating close to 10,800 service hours in 2010-2011, double the figures recorded in the previous year. 11 service learning trips, mostly initiated by students, engaged over 200 students. Involvement ranged from one-off community service opportunities to longer-term projects. Living Learning Communities The Living Learning Communities, based in the Chan Sui Kau and Chan Lam Moon Chun Hall (Undergraduate Hall VII) and facilitated by the Residence Master, faculty and staff, successfully fostered interaction and enhanced intellectual and personal growth among the hall’s 356 residents. The eight themes were Arts a-LIVE, Creative Affinity, Fitness Connection, iVillage, Live Green, Rise and Shine, Service Learning and Leadership, and Wall to Wall. Other students also benefited through attending the open activities of the communities. The program will be extended to Undergraduate Hall VI, and around 100 more students, in the next academic year. Further individual development initiatives have been planned during 2010-2011 for launch in the following year, including First Year Success @ HKUST which is designed to help new students adapt to campus life, find useful resources, engage with the University, develop a sense of purpose and integrate into the HKUST community. HEALTHY LIVING To support students’ academic success and personal growth during their time at the University, activities were organized to promote mental health awareness and well-being as an integral part of student life.

From its establishment in 1991, the University has sought to attract the best faculty and students, to facilitate their best performance in research, to assist economic and social development through knowledge transfer, and to stimulate entrepreneurship. The success that HKUST has enjoyed as a result, and the speed with which it has been achieved, have given the University a special place in the annals of academia. HKUST has played a key role in redefining the academic and R&D culture of Hong Kong. It has served as a catalyst in Hong Kong’s transition to a knowledge economy. The University has also become recognized globally in just two decades. An indication of the comprehensive nature of its accomplishments is that HKUST has been ranked 26th in the World’s Top 100 Universities in Engineering and Technology according to QS World University Rankings 2010. In Hong Kong, HKUST excelled in the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE), retaining the highest overall research index. RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP Over the year, significant research has been ongoing. Faculty members are actively involved in interdisciplinary and theme-based research, bringing their combined talents and perspectives together to find innovative solutions to help address the major challenges facing the world, advance Hong Kong and the region, and improve people’s lives. The following research highlights show how HKUST is contributing to change locally, regionally and globally through its world-class research, ranging from basic research to commercialization and business development. • Prof Nancy Ip, Dean of Science, made breakthrough discoveries in understanding how brain cells communicate with each other, in addition to unraveling signaling mechanisms that have far reaching implications in biomedicine. Her team has successfully identified a novel role for a cell surface protein EphA4 in the regulation of brain plasticity. They found that EphA4 regulates the distribution of neurotransmitter receptors on neurons and is essential for efficient communication between neurons through controlling the degradation of these neurotransmitter receptors. In addition, they found that the signaling pathway that controls a cellular process known as autophagy is aberrant in Parkinson’s disease, which contributes to brain degeneration. They identified two proteins, Cdk5 and endophilin B1, as mediators of the aberrant autophagy observed in the diseased brain. Their intriguing findings, which have been published in the prestigious journals Nature Neuroscience and Nature Cell Biology this year, will shed new light on the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. • Prof Mingjie Zhang, Division of Life Science, and his team of researchers have achieved a significant breakthrough in explaining how genetic mutations of Motor Protein Myosin VIIa leads to hereditary deaf and- blindness. This is excellent news for the medical profession in the quest to develop preventive and remedial measures against hereditary deaf-and blindness. The research paper on this work was published in top scientific journal Science in February 2011. • In addition, Prof Mingjie Zhang and his research group have made a significant discovery in understanding how animal photoreceptors can detect light signals with very broad intensity ranges and at very rapid speed, and how human eyes regulate light intake in response to varying lighting conditions. The breakthrough was the cover story in Cell, a leading journal in biomedical sciences, in June 2011. It has broad implications for cancer, neurodegenerations and various immune disorders. • Prof Ping Sheng and Prof Weijia Wen, Department of Physics, both presented Plenary Lectures at the 12th International Conference on Electrorheological Fluids and Magnetorheological Suspensions, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA in August 2010. • The HKUST optics groups led by Prof Shengwang Du, Prof Michael Loy and Prof George K L Wong, Department of Physics, reported the direct observation of the optical precursor of a single photon and proved that single photons cannot travel faster than c, the speed of light in vacuum. HKUST’s study reaffirms Einstein’s theory that nothing travels faster than light and closes a decade-long debate about the speed of a single photon. This breakthrough was published and selected as an Editor’s Suggestion in Physical Review Letters, one of the most prestigious journals in physics. It was also highlighted as a Physics Synopsis by the American Physical Society and brought to wide attention as a feature article on PhysOrg.com. 學術、研究及發展是科大使命及策略的核心。2010-2011 年，科大繼續穩步發展，鞏固卓越研究型大學的地位。 自1991年創校以來，科大致力招攬頂尖的教授及學生，協 助他們在研究領域中爭取佳績，透過知識轉移推動經濟與社 會發展，同時鼓勵創業，在學術界穩佔重要席位。 科大在短短20年間已得到國際認同，在推動香港的學術 及研發文化以及香港轉型為知識型經濟方面肩負重任。於 2010 《QS 全球大學排名》中，科大名列全球頂尖100所工程 及科技大學第26位。在最新的香港研究評審工作報告中， 科大整體研究指數繼續處於最高水平，表現優秀。 研究與學術 過去一年，科大一直進行重要的研究項目。科大教授積極參 與跨學科及以主題為本的研究，匯聚力量和思維，為全球面 對的主要挑戰尋找創新方案，推動香港及區域發展，改善人 類生活。下列科研亮點展示科大透過基本研究、產業化及商 務發展等世界級研究項目，促進本地、區域及世界的轉變。 • 理學院院長葉玉如教授對於人類腦部細胞如何傳遞信息 有突破性發現，成功解開腦部神經信號傳導之謎，對生 物醫學的發展帶來深遠影響。葉教授的研究團隊發現細 胞表面受體蛋白EphA4在調控腦部可塑性方面的新作 用。他們指出EphA4能夠透過控制神經遞質受體的降解 過程，調節神經元之間的信號傳遞效率。此外，他們也 發現Cdk5和endophilin B1蛋白介導細胞自體吞噬作用 在帕金遜病患者的腦中出現異常，導致腦部功能退化。 這些研究成果今年分別發表於著名學術期刊《Nature Neuroscience》及《Nature Cell Biology》，為治療老年痴 呆症及帕金遜症等神經退化性疾病提供了重要線索。 • 生命科學部張明傑教授及其團隊研究肌動蛋白7a基因突 變如何導致先天性失聰失明，並取得了重大突破，有助 研發預防和治療先天性失聰失明的方法，是醫學界一大 喜訊。有關的研究論文已於2011年2月在世界頂尖科學 期刊《科學》上發表。 • 此外，張明傑教授及其研究團隊亦在了解動物感光細胞 如何以極高速度偵測強度差異極大的光信號，以及人類 眼睛如何因應不同光度調節光的接收量有重大發現。 這項突破性發現成為領先生物醫學期刊《細胞》雜誌於 2011年6月號的封面故事，有助了解癌症、神經退化及 各種免疫力障礙。 • 2010年8月，物理學系沈平教授及溫維佳教授在美國 賓夕凡尼亞州費城舉行的12th International Conference on Electrorheological Fluids and Magnetorheological Suspensions Plenary Lectures作主題演講。 • 由科大物理學系杜勝望教授、雷明德教授和王克倫教授 領導的光學團隊，成功對單一光子光前驅波進行直接觀 察，證明單一光子的傳導速度不能高於c（ 光速在真空條 件下的傳導速度）。科大這項研究肯定愛因斯坦的理論， 結束長達10年有關單一光子速度的爭論。這項突破性發 現已於著名物理期刊《物理評論快報》上發表，並獲選為 編輯推薦論文。美國物理協會在其物理學綱要中以此研 究作為重點推介，並獲PhysOrg.com 選為專題文章。 研究與發展 RESEAR CH AND DE VELOPMEN T 54 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 55 • Joint work by Prof Xiaoping Wang and Prof Tiezheng Qian, Department of Mathematics, together with Prof Ping Sheng, Department of Physics and other researchers resulted in the important publication “Nanoscale Interfacial Phenomena in Complex Fluids”, which appeared in Solid State Communications. • The research group led by Prof C T Chan, Department of Physics, has demonstrated that it is possible to design dielectric photonic crystals as if they had near zero dielectric constants.

The founding fathers on the Planning Committee of the University referred to the three bodies as the three “supremes”. Membership details are in the appendix. COURT , COUNCIL AND SENATE The Court While it is mandated to meet annually, the Court convened twice during the report period. To facilitate participation, it has been decided to delink Court meetings from Council meetings. In addition, Court meetings are to be held off campus, in a central location in the heart of the business area. The 2010 annual Court meeting, held on 13 December in Central, has set the trend. The attendance rate at both meetings of the Court in 2010- 2011 was high. Court Members participated enthusiastically in exchanging views on the University’s 5-year Strategic Plan, which crystallizes the concept of “1-HKUST”. There is a common aspiration among the participants to keep up this encouraging momentum. The Council As the “supreme governing body” and the first among the three “supremes” to have come into existence, the Council plays a pivotal role leading all important aspects of University affairs except those within the academic arena. The Council met three times during the year, while its Standing Committee conferred five times. Shortly after the new senior management team was in place, the Council steered a review on the strategic direction of the University. The University’s 5-year Strategic Plan for 2011-2016 was developed. For the first time, specific Key Performance Indicators were introduced into an Annual Operation Plan to track progress of strategic initiatives according to defined deliverables. The Council also monitored the formulation of Mainland Strategies bringing them in close alignment with the University’s internationalization efforts. Academic Development Proposals (ADP) formed the basis for resources allocation by the University Grants Committee (UGC). As part and parcel of the University’s 5-year Strategic Plan (2011-2016), the ADP (2012-2015) was the subject of a special meeting of the Standing Committee of Council, when the Administration explained the design of the ADP in relation to UGC’s generic requirements for the document. At the meeting, the landscape of the new four-year undergraduate curriculum, which features new majors re-developed from existing programs, was explicated. During the period under review, the Council welcomed in a number of new Members and acknowledged with thanks those who stepped down. Some outgoing Council Members joined the Court to serve in another capacity. The entire complement of 27 Council Members is now firmly on board, and they include the newly elected Chairman of the Convocation. With active participation of Members in Council’s seven Committees, which focus to work in specific areas, the Council has worked closely with the Management to oversee the affairs of the University. The Council also played a pivotal role in promoting good corporate governance, and in monitoring the University’s strategic initiatives. In particular, the Council promoted the brand name of the University and helped to strengthen its institutional advancement efforts. The Senate The Senate as the “supreme academic body” meets regularly every two months, except in summer. This year was no exception. Of a wide range of academic matters deliberated by the Senate, the following is worth particular mention. To meet the challenges and opportunities brought by the implementation of the 3-3-4 academic structure, admissions and program-related requirements have been reviewed and endorsed by the Senate, which include a broad-based core curriculum, the General Entrance Requirements, and the migration of the existing general education requirement to the new University Common Core structure. To help promote and sustain interdisciplinary activities and collaboration between the Division of Environment and other academic departments of the University, the Senate has revised the faculty appointment and academic review arrangements for a Joint Appointment Policy. During the year under review, the Senate has also approved the establishment of a new division. The new Division of Biomedical Engineering will serve as an interdisciplinary academic unit to coordinate and promote, across schools and departments, faculty collaboration in research and educational activities of direct interest to biomedical engineering. 根據《香港科技大學條例》，科大的管治架構包括三個主 要機構，分別為顧問委員會（ 諮詢）、校董會（ 管治）及 教務委員會（ 教務）。大學籌備委員會的創會委員已就此三重 架構定位，各司其職，其委員名單詳見附錄。 顧問委員會、校董會及教務委員會 顧問委員會 遵照《大學規程》，顧問委員會須於每學年召開會議一次。 於報告期內，顧問委員會共召開兩次會議。其年度會議於 2010年12月13日舉行，並首次與校董會會議分開舉行，而 會議地點亦改於中環商業區，以鼓勵委員參與。 顧問委員踴躍出席2010-2011 的年度會議，並就以「同一科 大」為本的五年策略發展計劃積極發表意見，委員一致認同 科大應保持這種「同一科大」的精神及發展動力。 校董會 校董會是科大首個成立的「最高管治機構」，領導科大在學術 範疇以外的所有重要事務，肩負重任。校董會於年內共召開 三次會議，其轄下的常務委員會則舉行了五次會議。 科大新管理層履任後，校董會迅即檢視科大的策略方針，並 制訂科大2011-2016 年的五年策略發展計劃。而具體的「主 要績效指標」亦納入於「年度營運計劃」中，進一步落實各項 措施的進度。校董會同時審視內地發展策略的制訂，以配合 科大的國際化發展。 「學術發展建議書」為大學教育資助委員會（ 教資會）資源分 配的基礎。大學學術發展建議書（2012-2015年）是科大五年 策略發展計劃（2011-2016年）的重要部分，校董會常務委員 會在特別會議上就建議書進行討論，會上大學管理層闡釋建 議書如何配合教資會的一般規定，並重點介紹新四年制本科 課程的特點，當中包括重新編制新的主修課程等。 年內，校董會樂見多名新委員加入，並向退任委員致以衷心 謝意。部分委員於退任後加入顧問委員會，以另一身份貢獻 科大。校董會的全體27 名成員現已履任，其中包括新當選 的科大評議會主席。校董會委員積極參與校董會下設七個委 員會的工作，並繼續與科大管理層緊密合作。 校董會在推廣良好企業管治和監察科大策略的推行方面，發 揮著關鍵性作用。校董會並將致力協助科大進一步提升校 譽、強化大學拓展。 教務委員會 教務委員會是科大的「最高教務機構」，除暑假外，每兩個月 均會舉行會議，今年亦不例外，先後召開了五次會議。 年內，教務委員會就廣泛的學術事宜作出討論，以下各項尤 為重要： 為迎接推行「三三四」學制帶來的挑戰及機遇，教務委員會檢 討並通過「三三四」新學制下的入學要求及各項課程的相關規 定，包括：多元化的核心課程、學院統一收生的基本要求、 及將大學現時的通識課程轉移到各項核心教育課程的安排。 為了推動跨學科學習及加強環境學部與科大其他學術部門的 合作，教務委員會亦就教職員任命及學術評審安排作出檢 討，並訂定聯合聘任政策。 教務委員會同時通過成立一個新學部： 生物醫學工程 學部。該學部將以跨學科形式運作， 負責協調及推廣 生物醫學工程領域的活動，包括跨學院與跨學系研究和教 學等。 108 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 大事紀要 CALENDAR OF EVEN TS Jul 2010 ~ Jun 2011 109 2010 7月 JUL 周大福鄭裕彤基金慷慨捐贈 科大獲周大福鄭裕彤基金捐贈港幣 9,000 萬元，資助興建新科研與教學大 樓，大樓以鄭裕彤博士命名，以表揚其 慷慨捐贈。 Donation from Chow Ta i Fook Cheng Yu Tung Fund HKUST received a HK$90 million donation from the Chow Tai Fook Cheng Yu Tung Fund for the construction of a Research and Academic Building to be named in honor of Dr Cheng Yu Tung in appreciation of his generosity. 方樹福堂基金慷慨捐贈 方樹福堂基金向科大捐贈港幣150 萬 元，成立樹華內地實習計劃，三年內資 助150 名學生前往內地實習。 Donation from Fong Shu Fook Tong Foundation Fong Shu Fook Tong Foundation donated HK$1.5 million to HKUST to set up Mainland internship program and to support 150 students over three years to seek internship on the Mainland. 8月 AUG 陳繁昌校長獲頒授工業及應用數 學學會院士銜 陳繁昌校長獲全球著名數學學術組織之 一工業及應用數學學會頒授院士銜。 President Selected as Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics President Tony F Chan was selected as Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), one of the world’s leading institutions in the field of mathematics. 9月 SEP 惠普捐款 科大獲跨國科技公司惠普的惠普催化劑 倡議聯盟撥出15 萬美元，用以支持電 腦配備先進的全新教學實驗室。 Donation from Hewlett Pa ckard HKUST received a generous grant of US$150,000 from leading technology multinational Hewlett Packard as part of the HP Catalyst Initiative.

In its 20th Anniversary, the University continued to operate with a healthy surplus of $509 million ($421 million for 2009/10). The growth was mainly attributable to the notable increase in interest and investment returns to $343 million ($160 million for 2009/10), representing fair value gains of the restructured and enlarged investment portfolios. However, in the quarter to 30 September 2011, due to the volatility of world markets, the value of the University's investments declined by approximately $180 million reversing a large portion of the unrealised gains of $254 million recognised as at 30 June 2011. The investment market is expected to remain extremely volatile in the coming months. 綜合收入及開支CONSOLIDATED INCOME AND EXPENDITURE 基於上述較高的投資回報以及輔助及其他收入所得， 年度綜合收入增至3,186,000,000 元（2009/10年度為 2,950,000,000 元）。 本年度綜合開支增至2,681,000,000 元（2009/10年度為 2,531,000,000 元）。增加的開支主要用作準備2012年四年 新學制而增加的活動、進行中的研究項目及合約、以及一 般的薪金上升調整。 Consolidated income for the year increased to $3,186 million ($2,950 million for 2009/10) mainly due to the above-mentioned higher investment returns as well as higher auxiliary and other income. Consolidated expenditure for the year rose to $2,681 million ($2,531 million for 2009/10). Increased spending was largely for the preparation for the planned increase in activities for the 4-year Undergraduate (UG) System in 2012, on-going research projects and contracts, as well as the upward general pay adjustment on salaries. 附錄四：財務 Appendix IV : Finance 分部結果SEGMENT RESULTS 教育資助委員會（「教資會」）整筆撥款資助 之活動 University Grants Committee ('UGC') Block Grant-funded Activities 雖然開支因準備實施四年新學制而增加，但仍因上文提及 的異常高的投資回報而錄得61,000,000元盈餘（2009/10年 度為34,000,000元）。此盈餘將保留在儲備中，用作支付來 年持續增長的日常支出及策略措舉。由於四年新學制下額 外年度的資助撥款僅為現時學生單位成本之62.5%，該等 盈餘對香港科技大學的成功具關鍵作用。 While additional costs were incur red in preparation for the implementation of the 4-year UG System, a surplus of $61 million ($34 million for 2009/10) was recorded largely due to the exceptionally high investment returns noted above. The retained surplus kept under the reserve will be used for the increasing recurrent expenditure and strategic initiatives for the coming years. This will be critical to the success of HKUST given the reduced level of funding at 62.5% of the current student unit cost for the additional year under the 4-year UG system. 籌募及有關活動Fund Raising Related Activities 由於額外的投資回報及遲發放的政府配對撥款高於捐款下 降幅度，因此2010/11年度錄得233,000,000元的龐大盈餘 （2009/10年度為190,000,000元）。 Extra investment returns and late allocation of the matching grant from the Government more than offseted the drop in donations, resulting in a higher surplus of $233 million for 2010/11 ($190 million for 2009/10). 持續進修教育活動，研究活動及其他活動 自2009年，香港科技大學持續進修學院已開始縮減其日 常活動，直至2010年9月後全面停止運作。自負盈虧的 持續進修教育課程現時只局限於大學舉辦的研究生修課課 程及行政課程。預期此類自負盈虧的持續進修教育課程 將繼續穩步發展。加上其他研究活動、輔助服務及投資 回報收入， 共錄得215,000,000元盈餘（2009/10年度為 197,000,000元）。 Self-Financing Continuing Professional Education Programs ('CPEP'), Research and Other Activities From year 2009, the HKUST College of Lifelong Learning started to curtail its activities and finally ceased all operations after September 2010. Selffinancing continuing professional education programs are now confined to taught postgraduate programs and executive courses organized by the University. It is expected that these self-financing CPEP programs will continue to grow at a steady pace. Together with other income from research activities, auxiliary services and investment returns, a surplus of $215 million was recorded ($197 million for 2009/10). 資本支出CAPITAL EXPENDITURE 年中，現有學術大樓已完成擴建並開放使用。此外，於邊 界另一邊，科大深圳產學研大樓亦已竣工，為大學與位於 深圳及珠江三角洲的國內大學及機構之間的學術及研究合 作提供基礎設施。其它進行中的建築項目還包括：李兆基 商學大樓、科大高等研究院學術大樓、新增教學及研究設 施及三棟新建學生宿舍。 於2011年6月30日，已批准之建築項目及其他資本項目的 資本承擔達1,975,000,000 元。當中，1,305,000,000 元來 自已獲批准但未收之教資會撥款，93,000,000 元來自承諾 捐款，其餘來自大學現有儲備及遞延收益。 During the year, the extension to the existing academic buildings was completed and has been opened for use. Over the border, the HKUST Shenzhen IER (Industry, Education and Research) Building has also been completed, providing infrastructural support for academic and research collaborations with Mainland university and institutes in Shenzhen and the Pearl River Delta. Other construction projects, including the Lee Shau Kee Business Building, Institute for Advanced Study Academic Building, Additional teaching and research facilities, and three new student hostels are in progress. As at 30 June 2011, the total commitments for the approved construction projects and other capital items amounted to $1,975 million. Of which, $1,305 million will be supported by approved but yet to be received UGC grants, $93 million by pledged donations and the rest by HKUST's reserves and deferred income on hand. 展望OUTLOOK 在2011/12新的學術年度開始之際，企業資源計劃系統成功 啟用。大學將繼續完成過渡安排，以確保從2012/13年度開 始的雙組本科生能順利並行運作。 新一輪的配對撥款計劃暫無消息，加上憂慮美國及歐元區 國家財務狀況而導致近期股票市場大幅波動，管理層預期 來年將要面對資金籌募及於投資市場獲取可觀的收入或收 益的挑戰。大學將繼續貫徹嚴謹的理財政策，竭力保持足 夠的儲備讓大學有能力應付其未來目標的投放所需。 After the successful go-live of the Enterprise Resources Planning system just before the start of the new academic year 2011/12, the University will continue to complete the transition to ensure the smooth operation of the double UG cohorts from 2012/13. With no signs of a new round of Matching Grant Scheme, and amidst the recent volatility in the stock markets caused by ongoing financial concerns in the United States and the eurozone countries, Management foresees challenges in fund raising activities and ability to have any significant income or gains in investment markets in the coming year. The University will remain prudent in its financial management and strive to maintain adequate reserves to provide ability for the University to invest in its future goals. 130 香港科技大學2010-2011 年報HKUST 2010-2011 Annual Report 綜合資產負債表 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET 2011 年6 月30 日 AS AT 30 JUNE 2011 131 綜合全面收益表 CONSO LIDA TED STATEMEN T OF COM PREHENSI VE IN COME 截至2011年6月30日止年度 FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2011 2011 百萬元 $million 2010 百萬元 $million 非流動資產Non-Current Assets 物業、機器及設備Property, Plant and Equipment 3,617 3,459 無形資產Intangible Assets 47 35 持至到期日財務資產Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets 1,423 499 可供出售財務資產Available-for-Sale Financial Assets 19 17 按公平值透過損益記賬之財務資產Financial Assets at Fair Value through Profit or Loss 1,656 871 於聯營公司權益Interest in an Associate 57 52 於合資企業權益Interest in a Joint Venture 0 0 到期日超過一年之定期存款Bank Deposits with Maturity over One Year 198 301 7,017 5,234 流動資產Current Assets 持至到期日財務資產Held-to-Maturity Financial Assets 204 76 存貨Inventories 1 1 應收賬款及預付款項Accounts Receivable and Prepayments 234 140 原到期日超過三個月之 定期存款 Bank Deposits with Original Maturity over Three Months 759 1,740 現金及等同現金Cash and Cash Equivalents 967 1,324 2,165 3,281 流動負債Current Liabilities 應付賬款及應計費用Accounts Payable and Accruals 323 302 教職員福利撥備Provision for Staff Benefits 98 94 遞延收益Deferred Income 701 696 應付稅項Tax Payable 2 2 1,124 1,094 流動資產淨值Net Current Assets 1,041 2,187 資產總值減流動負債Total Assets Less Current Liabilities 8,058 7,421 非流動負債Non-Current Liabilities 教職員福利撥備Provision for Staff Benefits 14 12 資產淨值NET ASSETS 8,044 7,409 資本儲備Capital Reserves 3,664 3,494 教資會整筆撥款儲備UGC Block Grant Reserves 1,110 1,039 籌募及教資會配對撥款儲備Donations and UGC Matching Grants Reserves 2,135 1,916 其他儲備Other Reserves 1,130 958 投資重估儲備Investment Revaluation Reserve 5 2 資金總額TOTAL FUNDS 8,044 7,409 2011 百萬元 $million 2010 百萬元 $million 收入Income 政府資助及撥款Government Subventions and Grants 1,701 1,534 學費、課程及其他收費Tuition, Programmes and Other Fees 676 650 利息及投資收入Interest and Investment Income 343 160 外界捐款Donations and Benefactions 39 232 輔助服務及其他收入Auxiliary Services and Other Income 277 229 轉撥自資本儲備Transfers from Capital Reserves 150 145 3,186 2,950 開支Expenditure 學術及研究Learning and Research 教學及研究 Instruction and Research 1,754 1,631 圖書館 Library 79 79 中央電腦設備 Central Computing Facilities 80 84 其他教學服務 Other Academic Services 55 57 1,968 1,851 校務支援Institutional Support 管理及一般事務 Management and General 155 131 校舍及有關費用 Premises and Related Expenses 387 380 學生及一般教育服務 Student and General Education Services 140 135 其他活動 Other Activities 31 34 713 680 2,681 2,531 本年度營運所得盈餘Surplus from operation for the year 505 419 所佔聯營公司的經營業績Share of Result of an Associate 4 4 本年度稅前盈餘Surplus for the year before taxation 509 423 稅項Taxation 0 (2 ) 本年度稅後盈餘Surplus for the year after taxation 509 421 年內之其他全面收益Other comprehensive income for the year 於可供出售財務資產未實現之盈利Unrealised gain on Available-for-Sale Financial Assets 3 1 出售可供出售財務資產時被確認 之實現盈利及轉撥自投資重估 儲備 Recognition of gain realised on disposal of Available for- Sale Financial Assets transferred from Investment Revaluation Reserve 0 (23 ) 轉撥自資本儲備至綜合全面收益表Transfer from Capital Reserves to consolidated statement of comprehensive income (150 ) (145 ) 外幣換算之差額Exchange differences arising from retranslation 10 3 於聯營公司所佔法定儲備之變動Change in share of statutory reserves of an Associate 1 (1 ) (136 ) (165 ) 年內全面收益總額Total comprehensive income for the year 373 256 轉撥至 /（ 自）： Transfers to / (from): 資本儲備Capital Reserves (145 ) (144 ) 大學教育資助委員會（「教資會」） 整筆撥款儲備 University Grants Committee ('UGC') Block Grant Reserves 61 34 籌募及教資會配對撥款儲備Donations and UGC Matching Grants Reserves 236 189 其他儲備Other Reserves 218 199 投資重估儲備Investment Revaluation Reserve 3 (22 ) 373 256 Design, Production & Printing: in-Design HK Limited www.in-designhk.com Photo credit: Most of the photographs used in this Annual Report are taken by our staff, students, members of the alumni, the Publishing Technology Center and our vendors.
