展望
今年7月，大學2020策略計劃的重點項目之一的
科大高等研究院由蜚聲國際的科學家霍金教授的
首場講座拉開序幕。霍金教授的講座不僅受到本
地媒體空前廣泛的報導，更引發了社會各階層對
宇宙的興趣及熱忱。在政府及教資會的鼎力支持
下，科大高等研究院已成功籌集了初期所需之基
建及營運資金。科大高等研究院及大學策略計劃
中的其他項目將繼續成為大學未來發展的重要目
標。大學進一步強化其籌資能力及繼續把資源投
放於該等項目。
UGC-funded Activities
UGC grants accounted for $1,736.2 million or 97% of government
subventions, including recurrent block grant of $1,189.2 million;
earmarked grants for housing, research, capital works and rates and
government rent refunds totalling $303.7 million; and extra matching
grants of $243.3 million.
The recurrent block grant together with tuition fees and other income
totalled $1,553 million for the year, and related expenditure amounted
to $1,505.3 million. The surplus of $47.7 million was transferred to the
General and Development Reserve. As at 30 June 2006, the reserve
balance stood at $920.9 million.
Capital Projects
The construction of the Enterprise Center is in progress. Building costs
of $76 million were incurred during the year ($15 million in 2004/05).
The Center is scheduled for completion in 2006/07. It will house
activities related to applied R&D, technology transfer, executive and
professional development programs.
With increasing need for on-campus student accommodation due to
internationalization, another construction project for a new hall with
350 student residence places is underway. The estimated construction
cost of the new hall of some $83 million will be financed by internal
cash flow generated from the student hostel operation. The new hall
is targeted for occupation by 2008/09.
Outlook
The Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), one of the key initiatives of
the University Strategic Plan 2020, was inaugurated in June with Prof
Stephen Hawking’s lecture on “ The Origin of the Universe”. The
lecture has captured an unprecedented coverage in the local media,
generating interest and enthusiasm in science and the universe across
the local community. With the Government and the UGC’s strong
support, the IAS has successfully obtained startup and seed funding
for both its capital construction and recurrent operations. The IAS,
together with other key areas of pursuit under the University Strategic
Plan, will continue to be the focal point of the University’s development
in the years to come. University’s resources will continue to be
allocated to these initiatives. In this regard, the University will continue
to strengthen its fundraising capabilities.
