The School signs MOU with the Northwestern Polytechnical University Continuing Education School
From 3 to 5 March, a delegation led by Professor William K.M. Lee, Director of HKU SPACE, travelled to Shanghai for academic exchanges, marking a new chapter of the collaborative advancement of continuing education in Hong Kong and Shanghai.
On the first day, the delegation signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) Continuing Education School at the Zhihui Port in Taicang. The agreement leads to a focus on the establishment of an integrated talent development model of “cloud classroom + practice base” to provide articulation pathways for Mainland students to further their studies. The delegation also toured the Drones and Virtual Robotics Lab at the Yangtze River Delta Research Institute of NPU, examining their technological innovations, research accomplishments, and the interdisciplinary fusion of "Artificial Intelligence + Engineering Education".
The delegation also visited the Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiading (an affiliated hospital of the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine) on the same day, gaining insights into its modern operations, including the fully automated intelligent Chinese medicine pharmacy prescription and dosing system, the AI four diagnostic system for evidence identification, and the 5G visualisation of the ward's nursing process management system. These intelligent healthcare initiatives serve as crucial benchmarks for the digital transformation of Chinese medicine education.
Concluding the visit, the delegation explored fresh concepts for future collaboration and the promotion of Chinese medicine culture between Hong Kong and Shanghai at the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
The visit proved fruitful as the School not only expanded its collaboration network with Mainland universities but also created new avenues for cooperation in the fields of smart education, technological innovation, and cultural heritage. This injection of new energy is propelling continuing education efforts in both cities towards a dynamic future.
