Our research mission, drawn from the
Laws of Hong
Kong
by which HKUST was established, remains focused
on human resource development with an emphasis on
postgraduate education, to maintain excellence across
our chosen fields of endeavor, and to contribute to the
economic and social development of Hong Kong.
Our strategy is to attract the best faculty staff and students,
to expect and reward their best performance in research,
to assist economic and social development through
knowledge transfer, and to stimulate entrepreneurship.
Scholarship, research as well as its development and
application are central to the mission and strategic vision
of HKUST.
HKUST has helped to redefine the academic and R&D
culture of Hong Kong. It has grown from a vision to become
a dynamo for change and a catalyst in Hong Kong’s
transition to a knowledge-based society. In just 17 short
years, HKUST has gained international recognition as a
leading research university.
Locally, the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) in Hong
Kong provides another indicator. The bar chart below
compares the results for RAE for the year 1999 and year
2006. While the differentials were reduced significantly in
2006 as the research capabilities and performance of all
tertiary institutions in Hong Kong have improved, HKUST
retains the highest overall research index.
除國際排名以外，本港的「研究評審工作」亦
顯示科大的研究實力。下圖列出1999年與
2006年「研究評審工作」結果的比較。由於香
港各高等院校均致力提升研究能力及表現，
2006年各院校的差距因而顯著收窄，但科大的
整體研究指數仍雄踞榜首。
