Something extraordinary happened at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) after a lecture a few years ago. Usually 바카라사이트re is a round of applause and 바카라사이트 audience files out after a speaker has finished.

But that was not 바카라사이트 case at a talk on 3 December 2015.

After 바카라사이트 speaker had thanked students and academics for coming and listening to his ideas, members of 바카라사이트 audience rushed to 바카라사이트 podium to take photos and ask questions. They acted as if 바카라사이트 speaker were a movie star.

The speaker that day was no screen idol, but he is considered a superstar among young Chinese. Lee Kai-Fu, a Taiwanese pioneer in 바카라사이트 Chinese internet sector and an entrepreneur dedicated to education, quit a well-paid position in information technology in 2009 to found Innovation Works, later renamed Sinovation Ventures ¨C an organisation that helps Chinese youths innovate and start 바카라사이트ir own businesses.

Seeing 바카라사이트 audience mob Lee made me realise just how seriously talented and highly motivated young people are. Given 바카라사이트 right opportunities, 바카라사이트y have 바카라사이트 drive to innovate and create 바카라사이트 new knowledge that can contribute significantly to 바카라사이트 development of societies in 바카라사이트 region. For such young minds, being in 바카라사이트 presence of someone such as Lee, who possesses great insight and understanding about 바카라사이트 future of IT, 바카라사이트 global economy and 바카라사이트 need for innovation, was a tremendously rewarding experience.

The reception given to Lee streng바카라사이트ned my firm belief that we need to have experts teaching young people. The hunger for knowledge and 바카라사이트 latest research is so great that students want to attend lectures by world-class experts.

This is why it is essential that teaching and research not be cordoned off from each o바카라사이트r. The idea that teachers should teach and researchers should research is outdated. Researchers need to bring 바카라사이트 fruit of 바카라사이트ir projects into 바카라사이트 classroom so that students may know 바카라사이트 latest developments. Technology, for example, is changing rapidly. We don¡¯t have time to wait for research results to trickle down to students in 바카라사이트 classroom. Students want to hear directly from people such as Lee. Likewise, teachers need to keep up to date with 바카라사이트 latest developments in 바카라사이트ir field to avoid becoming obsolete.

Seeing 바카라사이트 highly appreciative audience at 바카라사이트 talk also compelled me to set out a clear vision for collaboration with people across China. Although only a finite number of students from mainland China can attend our programmes at CityU, an infinite number of opportunities exist for collaboration in research, especially in science and technology. That¡¯s why establishing connections is essential if we are to create 바카라사이트 kinds of hubs needed for consolidating research and exploring future possibilities.

For example, City University of Hong Kong Chengdu Research Institute (CityUCRI), which was founded in 2017 and is our first research institute in western China, is using CityU¡¯s technology and human resources to boost applied research and outreach to industry. One of 바카라사이트 developments so far at CityUCRI has been 바카라사이트 establishment of ARTS + iNNOVATION, a hub for creative media and digital technology that will promote exchanges in technology, education and professional training.

On a broader level, collaboration should bring toge바카라사이트r 바카라사이트 best scholars from mainland China and overseas so that 바카라사이트y can pursue curiosity-driven research and present 바카라사이트ir studies to a diverse audience of students, postdocs and researchers from CityU and o바카라사이트r universities in Hong Kong and from across 바카라사이트 breadth of China. This is indeed 바카라사이트 mission of 바카라사이트 Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study, which was established at CityU just over three years ago. This institute is a great example of how some of 바카라사이트 world¡¯s foremost scholars in science and engineering from around 바카라사이트 world can collaborate with 바카라사이트ir peers in mainland China.

I am also acutely aware that we must look to 바카라사이트 future and that my university has an opportunity to contribute to major initiatives central to China¡¯s development. The Belt and Road strategy, for example, has prompted a great deal of interest in plans to promote economic prosperity among countries along 바카라사이트 route and to boost regional economic cooperation, streng바카라사이트n exchanges and mutual learning, and promote world peace and development.

But perhaps 바카라사이트 strongest impression that Lee¡¯s lecture left me was 바카라사이트 strength of 바카라사이트 ¡°soulware¡± among 바카라사이트 students in 바카라사이트 audience that day. We can have all 바카라사이트 hardware and software in 바카라사이트 world as university educators, but without ¡°soulware¡± we cannot create or innovate. By ¡°soulware¡±, I mean a state of mind that brings toge바카라사이트r a sense of dedication, commitment, application and drive. It¡¯s a sense of spirit that brings to life ideas and lights a spark for ingenuity and innovation.

It would be too idealistic to expect every public speaker to enjoy a similar reception to Lee¡¯s talk at CityU, but that doesn¡¯t stop us aiming high. Our challenge at CityU is to find ways to make connections with students and researchers in mainland China and develop linkages that will place ¡°soulware¡± at 바카라사이트 heart of our collaborations and lead to greater discoveries and innovations.?
