This spring, CUHK has seen its researchers and leadership receive major international recognition, reflecting strengths across biomedical science, plant biology, geography, and translational research. Professor Dennis Lo Yuk-ming, Vice-Chancellor and President, and Professor Jiang Liwen, Pro-Vice-Chancellor (External Affairs), have each garnered top international honours, affirming CUHK’s global academic leadership. Alongside these accolades, the University has achieved remarkable success in organising international education event and scientific research innovation, further consolidating its standing as a world-leading research university and Hong Kong’s international post-secondary education hub.

CUHK’s achievements are on the rise! Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Dennis Lo Yuk-ming and Dean of CU Medicine Professor Philip Chiu Wai-yan have received a prestigious honour: election to that most select group, foreign members of the leading academic body, the Academia Europaea. Students Yiu Kwan-to and Adam Mak Sai-ting won a gold medal in men’s doubles table tennis and a silver medal in the 200m breaststroke, respectively, at the FISU World University Games Summer. And the University continues to soar in global rankings: its latest scoop is an impressive 32nd place in the QS World University Rankings 2026, its highest ever.
