Zhejiang Advanced Manufacturing Institute,
Hangzhou
The official opening of the Zhejiang Advanced Manufacturing Institute
(ZAMI) in Hangzhou took place in October, launching HKUST’s first
research facility in the Yangtze River Delta. The Zhejiang Government
provided 16 million yuan in funding along with office space and
facilities for the Institute, with HKUST supplying research expertise and
leadership in manufacturing technology.
ZAMI’s mission is to assist local industries with advanced manufacturing
technologies, including network-based manufacturing systems, radio
frequency identification (RFID), mass customization and design for
comfort. In addition, it is benefiting HKUST through research and
internship opportunities for undergraduates and postgraduates,
enabling them to apply knowledge in a real-life manufacturing
environment.
Global Connections
From the outset HKUST has oriented itself as a global university. Its
faculty members are drawn from leading universities around the
world, and its research standards are benchmarked against top global
institutions. Its students are provided with wide cultural experience
through exchange programs.
HKUST was a founding member of the Association of East Asian
Research Universities which facilitates cooperation among faculty and
students between member institutions. It is an active member of
the Association of Pacific Rim Universities to strengthen pan-Pacific
academic links. HKUST has also set up the Europe Institute with
its French and German Centers to promote academic exchange
and R&D collaboration with European universities, research institutes
and companies.
Our student body is becoming increasingly diversified. This has resulted
in a growing awareness of cultural diversity, which would better equip
