What EdUHK has achieved in terms of research and knowledge transfer since its retitling has been remarkable. In addition to our robust research performance, it is gratifying to see the translation of our scholarly output into educational innovation and inventions, which has brought about tangible advances in learning, teaching and related areas. Under the Education-plus approach, we have expanded our scope to cover new and emerging disciplines, including psychology, environmental conservation, earth and physical sciences, linguistics and computer studies. This has, in turn, fostered a more vibrant and dynamic environment that is conducive to research excellence. Moving forward, it is my hope that the University can make even greater contributions to the local school sector while supporting teacher development and capacity building outside Hong Kong, especially in Belt and Road countries. With our track record and expertise, we are striving to become a partner with more regional and international organisations in driving educational reform and teaching enhancement in developing economies. Vote of thanks As a new member of the University, I look forward to meeting and exchanging views with our stakeholders in the days ahead. I would like to express my gratitude to the outgoing Council Officers and Members, Professor Frederick Ma Si-hang, Ms Susanna Chiu Lai-kuen, Dr Chiu Cheung-ki, Mr Glenn Fok, Dr Grace Poon Wing-kit, Professor Lui Tailok, Dr Irene Cheng Nga-yee, and Miss Kris Wong Wing-ki, for their wise counsel and invaluable input during their terms.

Working together with concerted efforts, I have every confidence that we can scale new heights in our key strategic areas and reach new milestones.
