2024 CUHK–Mainland Optics & Photonics Workshop successfully took place in Guangming, Shenzhen during 13-15 December 2024. The two and half day in-person workshop provided a free platform for academic and industrial interactions, joined by over 20 distinguished scholars from Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Shenzhen University, CUHK, and other renowned universities/institutions in the mainland. The workshop was also attended by many CUHK alumni in academia and industry and current students and postdocs, guests from mainland institutions and industries. Compared with last year’s event, this time we featured a mini-industry exhibition, showcasing high-tech products by startups from CUHK and mainland, which also sponsored the workshop.

The workshop further fostered the existing collaborations between CUHK and mainland partners, while exploring new frontiers in research innovations and new initiatives in cultivating the next generation of leaders in the field of optics and photonics. In addition, we promoted collaboration with the Greater Bay Area and brought relevant officials from Guangming district and Prof. Jianbin Xu (Associate Dean for Mainland Affairs) to our event. The workshop was coordinated by Prof. Renjie Zhou with support from Prof. Xiankai Sun, Prof. Wei Ren, Prof. Chaoran Huang, Prof. Scott Yuan, and many senior colleagues in the Faculty of Engineering.

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK)’s Engineering FinTech Applied Research (CEFAR) Academy and HSBC Software Development (Guangdong) Limited (HSDC), the bank’s global technology centre in mainland China, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today (16 December). It aims to groom young talent and benefit the community, promoting their mutual interests while fostering cooperation and collaboration. The signing ceremony, attended by key representatives from both organisations, marks a significant strengthening of their relationship.

According to the MOU, both parties will co-organise seminars, workshops and business forums, inviting experts to share industry insights. HSDC will provide career opportunities and an internship programme for CUHK’s Master of Science in FinTech students, enabling them to pursue fintech careers or undertake industrial projects in mainland China, particularly within the Greater Bay Area (GBA).
 
Professor Tsang Hon-ki, Dean of Engineering of CUHK, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership and said: “This collaboration will significantly benefit our FinTech students, aligning with our mission to advance education and industry engagement. Our students will gain invaluable exposure to real-world industry practices through the internship programme and industrial projects. These opportunities will allow them to apply their academic knowledge in practical settings, enhancing their learning experience and preparing them for careers in the financial technology sector.”
 
Mr Jim Ma, General Manager of HSDC, echoed these sentiments and said: “Our partnership with CEFAR, backed by the great business opportunities and technology ecosystem of the GBA and the rest of China, is a testament to our dedication to fostering innovation and development in the fintech industry. We also look forward to more young fintech talent joining us to accelerate the bank’s digitisation”.
