A Dialogue with Professor Lap-Chee Tsui

(1 June 2020, Hong Kong) With the Covid-19 pandemic largely contained in Hong Kong, and the gradual lifting of social distancing measures, the society has turned its focus on how to strengthen economic order. The Our Hong Kong Foundation (OHKF) today organised the third session of ‘INSIGHT FORUM’ with Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Founding President of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences as the speaker. Professor Tsui shared his insightful views on the impacts and opportunities brought by Covid-19 to the local innovation and technology ecosystem, the unique advantages and potential of Hong Kong in scientific research to combat Covid-19 as compared with the international world, as well as the future development of Hong Kong on innovation and technology in the Greater Bay Area.

徐立之教授 — In the OHKF’s ‘INSIGHT FORUM’ webinar, Professor Lap-Chee Tsui, Founding President of the Hong Kong Academy of Sciences, points out that STEM education in Hong Kong emphasises too much on outcomes. For admission, universities should consider students’ interests and talent, but not only academic performance. Also, he notes that students should understand more about the fundamental and essential knowledge of science, and pursue lifelong learning.

徐立之教授 — Professor Lap-Chee Tsui expresses that many universities in Hong Kong have excellent researches. However, it is difficult to balance both teaching and research at the same time, therefore universities should utilise their unique advantages in resource allocation. He comments that as long as upstream research is done well, midstream and downstream activities of the value chain will be boosted.

徐立之教授 — Professor Lap-Chee Tsui points out that in terms of science and technology development, Hong Kong can emulate Silicon Valley, by integrating top resources in the region to establish a mega research institute and thus reduce vicious competition among different research institutes. Moreover, he advises that Hong Kong should have closer communication and cooperation with companies in the Greater Bay Area, and that interdisciplinary interaction is especially important.
