Research and Innovation@CityU
A series of exhibition and technology forums will provide an opportunity for the CityU community and the public to review research excellence at CityU over the past 30 years. It is also a chance to explore the 33 research centres at CityU, the Knowledge Transfer Office, the Chow Yei Ching School of Graduate Studies, the CityU Shenzhen Research Institute and the CityU Chengdu Research Institute. The forums, which are a major part of the University’s 30th anniversary celebrations, will take place from 22 September to 3 October. The name of the event is “30 Years of Research and Innovation@CityU”.

President’s Lecture Series
Now in its fourth year, the President’s Lecture Series: Excellence in Academia offers a platform for CityU scholars to reach out to students and faculty across campus, bringing together scientists, engineers, economists, lawyers, sociologists and creative media exponents, to name but a few. With his talk “Equity and Inequity: Exploring Urban Residential Wealth”, Professor Ray Forrest, Chair Professor of Housing and Urban Studies and Head of the Department of Public Policy, will deliver on 16 September the first Lecture of the new academic year. The talk will explore how we understand the social, economic and political dimensions of the dramatic transformation in the distribution of wealth across many societies through urbanisation and rising levels of home ownership.
