Grooming well-rounded students goes beyond the classroom, therefore our multi-purpose Shaw Auditorium is a central and important space for many teaching and cultural programs that will nurture aptitudes for creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving, the skills required for success in the increasingly globalized yet challenging society. Regionally, HKUST(GZ) serves as an important foothold for HKUST to assume a pivotal role in boosting innovation and technology development in the Greater Bay Area, as we continue to nurture talent to tackle the dire challenges of the 21st century, such as aging populations, pandemics and the climate crisis. From its home base, HKUST has been cultivating changes in thinking and behavior to resolve increasingly complex and evolving issues. Starting with sustainability, the newly established Sustainability/Net-Zero Office has implemented a bold strategy called the 2028 Sustainability Challenge which will synchronize with the Hong Kong government’s plan to halve carbon emissions before 2035 and become fully carbon neutral by 2050. This will further strengthen our standing as a local and global sustainability leader. Learn more about HKUST(GZ)
