In a recent landmark development, the City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan) (CityUHK (DG)) and the High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China (RDFZ) have taken significant steps towards forging a robust partnership in education cooperation. 

Embarking on journey of educational synergy

Liu Xiaohui, President of RDFZ, alongside her team, ventured to CityUHK (DG) on 29 November 2024. The delegation’s journey through the scientific sanctuaries of Songshan Lake, including the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS) and the Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory (SLML), was a testament to the fertile ground for research and innovation that surrounds CityUHK (DG). Their campus exploration revealed CityUHK (DG)'s guiding educational principles and achievements in research.

Prof Lu Chun, Vice-President of CityU and Executive President of CityUHK (DG) played host, showcasing the strategic advantages offered by the university's locale which serves as a catalyst for academic and practical exploration.

Igniting minds with innovative ideas

Highlighting the collaborative spirit, CityUHK (DG) Vice President Prof Liu Zishun took to the stage at RDFZ in Beijing to demystify the realms of soft machines and intelligent structures. His lecture, aimed at high school sophomores, sought to kindle their interest in the avant-garde fields of science and technology, encouraging them to pursue curiosity with vigour.

Forging nexus for international talent

The formal establishment of an “International Talent Student Pool Base” in RDFZ for CityUHK (DG) marks a pivotal moment.
