Frontier Technology Research for Joint Institutes with Industry Workshop 2024

We are excited to announce that the Frontier Technology Research for Joint Institutes with Industry Workshop 2024 will take place on 5 November 2024. This is an excellent opportunity to hear from 14 project investigators who will present their groundbreaking technologies that tackle global challenges and transform industries. 

These 14 investigators are the awardees of the Frontier Technology Research for Joint Institutes with Industry Scheme (FTRIS), which was launched in December 2022. The Scheme aims to encourage research teams at HKUST to develop cutting-edge technologies that offer practical solutions to global issues and reshape industries

We invite all HKUST staff and students to join us and witness the advancements in these innovative translational research projects. If you’re interested in high-impact, interdisciplinary, and transformative initiatives that showcase creative solutions and scientific breakthroughs, this is an event you won’t want to miss.

Mark your calendars and be part of this enriching experience!
