Another direction is to foster a fusion of innovation and humanities. A new academic unit will be established with the aim to become a leading interdisciplinary center where technology and art converge to fuel innovation. In partnership with different parties, we will promote innovation in sports science and optimize elite athletes’ performance in international competitions by leveraging our strength in interdisciplinary research. Pursuing Research Excellence Our goal is to grow our leadership in research. We foster interdisciplinary collaborations and drive research breakthroughs by launching thematic research schemes. To further create interdisciplinary opportunities, our faculty members are encouraged to collaborate with peers and capitalize on the research resources at HKUST(GZ). Through the HKUST Global Knowledge Network and other efforts, we will continue to establish partnerships with prestigious institutions across regions, widening the breadth and depth of international research collaboration. It is equally important to provide an environment that fosters research excellence. Talent development plays a crucial role in propelling discovery. The University will explore ways to empower research units to attract faculty and research staff by creating and implementing innovative recruitment mechanisms. Physical research infrastructure will be maintained and upgraded to facilitate our faculty’s exploration of the unknown. 9
