Strategic Plan 2021—2025

Global Engagement Spreading our Wings to Add Value and Create Impact Uniquely positioned to serve as a bridge between China and the West, CUHK is one of the most internationalized universities in the world In a short span of 58 years, CUHK has become a leading institution of higher learning known internationally for its dedication to education, impactful research and global engagement. The rapid growth of China has created an abundance of opportunities for development in higher education and collaboration between mainland and Hong Kong universities. During the past few years, CUHK has strengthened its presence in Shenzhen and collaborations with mainland institutions, capitalizing on opportunities arising from the Greater Bay Area (GBA) Development Plan and the Belt and Road (B&R) Initiative. Global engagement will continue to be a major focus of the University under ‘CUHK 2025’. The grand challenges facing the world require global collaboration. The jobs of the future will not be confined by borders. Internationalization and engagement of mainland China will continue to be a priority in the University’s pursuit of excellence with purpose and responsibility. In the next five years, the University’s global engagement plans aim to: • Nurture students with a global vision and outlook to prepare them for careers in the mainland and around the world through the curriculum, non-local experiential learning programmes and a vibrant campus that integrates students of all cultures, religions and nationalities • Promote research collaboration with universities, centres of research excellence, industry, funding and policy agencies, and philanthropic organizations that would lead to world-class impactful research • Reinforce the University’s reputation nationally and internationally to make CUHK the university of choice for students and a magnet for talent CUHK 2025 25
