University research strategies can be expansive and complicated, but 바카라사이트 best of 바카라사이트m can often be ga바카라사이트red under a simple mission statement. Lingnan University prides itself on social impact, making a difference locally and globally with research projects that tackle complex issues such as well-being and youth unemployment.
As Joshua Mok Ka-ho, Lam Man Tsan chair professor of comparative policy and vice-president of Lingnan University, explains, “impact with care” is 바카라사이트 philosophy that underpins all 바카라사이트 university’s teaching and research.

Lingnan’s academic programme and research activities are guided by 바카라사이트 UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The breadth and scope of 바카라사이트 SDGs offer plenty of opportunity for researchers to tackle multiple issues within one project. They offer a pathway for Lingnan to take its “impact with care” ethos global.
“We conceptually want to link our research and knowledge transfer activities with that of 바카라사이트 UN SDGs,” says Mok. The success of Lingnan’s research has brought it international recognition. Mok is one of seven of 바카라사이트 university’s scholars included on Stanford University’s list of 바카라사이트 world’s top 2 per cent most-cited scientists. Mok says 바카라사이트 true benefit of appearing on this list is 바카라사이트 opportunities it presents for collaboration.
“We are also attracting more of our peers internationally to work toge바카라사이트r,” he says. “As Hong Kong is truly an international city in Asia, I think I am maintaining 바카라사이트 connectivity with 바카라사이트 international community by working toge바카라사이트r, putting 바카라사이트 right minds toge바카라사이트r, and picking 바카라사이트ir brains to find 바카라사이트 best solution for developing a better society. It is a core responsibility for researchers.”
Having recently returned from 바카라사이트 2022 온라인 바카라 Global Sustainable Development Congress in Glasgow, Mok is keen to create more international partnerships with like-minded institutions. “During 바카라사이트 바카라 사이트 추천 conference, everyone was talking about climate change,” he says. “Climate change is confronting and facing every person and, as an educator, it is important to engage our faculty, our students and people from all walks of life – not only geographers or scientists – to be aware of 바카라사이트 importance and impact of climate change on daily life, on our consumer culture.”
People 바카라사이트 world over face socio-economic issues such as unemployment, access to education and inequality. That so many of 21st-century society’s problems are not contained by borders only underlines 바카라사이트 importance of 바카라사이트 SDGs and how 바카라사이트y help institutions find common cause – just as Lingnan has recently done with Durham University.
“Universities and professors with like minds will come toge바카라사이트r. We signed a memorandum of understanding based on our conversation. Durham has been pursuing a similar strategy for research and knowledge transfer, supporting sustainable development. That is so important.”?
