HKUST 2005-2006 Annual Report
39
Another facility, the HK$400 million R&D Center for Logistics and
Supply Chain Management Enabling Technologies, co-hosted by
HKUST, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and the University
of Hong Kong, will initially focus on Radio Frequency Identification,
infrastructure and decision support technologies. It also aims to
facilitate adoption of these technologies by industries in Hong Kong
and the Mainland to enhance competitiveness.
The year 2005-06 saw the creation of the Institute for the Environment
(IENV). The Institute has been set up in response to mounting local
and global concern about sustainable development, and is dovetailed
with the University’s designation of sustainable development as one of
the areas of high impact in its Strategic Plan. It will do double duty as
a focal point for university-wide work on the environment and a point
of contact for outside environmental groups and think tanks. IENV has
five main areas of focus: air pollution, water technology and resource
management, solids and land, including waste minimization, marine
and coastal waters, and economy and society.
The Center for Cancer Research was also established to capitalize on
HKUST’s expertise in this area. Professor Maria Lung, Department of
Biology, was appointed its first Director.
另一所四億港元的物流及供應鏈管理應用技術研
究及發展中心，由科大、香港中文大學和香港大
學合辦，將專注發展無線電頻譜識別、基建及支
援技術，鼓勵香港及內地業界採用這門科技，以
增強競爭力。
因應本地及全球日益關注可持續發展問題，同時
亦符合科大以可持續發展，作為策略發展計劃其
中一個重要範疇的目標，2005-06年度，我們創
立了環境研究所。環境研究所肩負雙重職責，既
是科大進行環境工作的重點單位，也是科大與外
界環保團體及智囊團的聯絡平台。環境研究所有
五大關注範疇：空氣污染、水利技術及資源管
理，以及固體物料及土壤，包括減少廢物、海洋
及海岸水質，以及經濟與社會發展。
我們亦成立了癌症研究中心，發揮科大在這方面
的專長。生物學系的龍李梅瑞教授，獲委任為首
位主任。
