Research and Education
IAS will be a lively hub of research activity. It will lead innovation
and discovery-driven research; foster collaboration across disciplines
between local, national and international researchers in high-impact
areas; and sponsor regular series of talks, workshops, panel discussions,
conferences, and short courses.
IAS will offer teaching and outreach programs covering postgraduate
courses and seminars; undergraduate courses, mentorship and
internship programs for the most gifted undergraduates; as well as
popular science and general knowledge lectures.
IAS champions collaborative projects across disciplines and institutions.
It will forge strong relationships with academic, business, community,
and government leaders to make a difference in the academic and
scientific world, and to transform Hong Kong and the Greater China
region into a global source of creative and intellectual power.
IAS was front and center in the public consciousness with the
spectacularly successful inaugural lecture by Professor Stephen
Hawking, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at University of
Cambridge.
