Welcome Message On behalf of the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, it is my great honour to welcome you to the 2026 World Class University Presidents Forum (WCUPF), held under the theme Higher Education Reimagined: Innovating for the Future. In this period of extraordinary change—driven by artificial intelligence, shifting geopolitics, new economic demands, and renewed questions about the value and purpose of universities—the Forum asks not only how universities can adapt, but how they can lead. Our opening panel, The University and the Century Ahead, will set the stage by exploring what universities must preserve and what they must reinvent to remain a force for knowledge, wisdom, and the betterment of society. Through the keynote address, panel dialogues, and roundtable discussions, the program will examine the university through three interconnected lenses: the University in the AI Era, the University and Society, and the University and Civilization. Together, we will explore how universities can educate and empower the next generation, translate ideas into innovation, advance global health and open science, and tackle pressing planetary challenges—all while deepening our local roots and expanding our global impact. To ensure our dialogue translates into meaningful action, we will conclude the Forum by charting a roadmap for universities to navigate the future. Beyond the formal sessions, we hope you will take full advantage of the opportunities to forge new connections, exchange profound insights, and experience the vibrant, innovative spirit of Hong Kong and the region. I wish you a wonderful stay in Hong Kong and look forward to charting this new path together with you. Nancy IP President The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 2

About The 2026 World Class University Presidents Forum Higher Education Reimagined: Innovating for the Future The 2026 World Class University Presidents Forum (WCUPF) convenes leaders of the world’s foremost universities for a candid conversation about the future of higher education. During this period of extraordinary change—driven by artificial intelligence (AI), shifting geopolitics, new economic demands, and rising questions about the value and purpose of universities themselves— the Forum seeks to explore not how universities can adapt, but how they can lead. Universities are among the most enduring institutions humanity has built, predating most nations and every modern technology. Yet endurance is not immortality. Within a single generation, machines will teach and research alongside us. The meaning of a degree will be tested as never before, and the social compact that sustains the research university will be reshaped. The choices made by today’s leaders will determine whether the university of 2050 still stands at the center of human knowledge—and in what form. Under the theme Higher Education Reimagined: Innovating for the Future, this inaugural Forum brings together presidents, rectors, and vice-chancellors across borders and disciplines to confront the defining challenges of our time: governing the age of AI, advancing global health and open science, meeting the world’s grand challenges, powering the future economy, and deepening the university’s bond with the communities it serves. Through the keynote addresses and intimate roundtable dialogues, participants will engage in candid discussions — the kind that can only be undertaken by peers who carry the same responsibilities. This event is more than a conference. It is a shared act of imagination: an effort to picture the university of 2050 and to begin building it today. The universities of the future may look very different from those of today — learning unbound from the lecture hall, discovery accelerated by intelligent machines, campuses woven into the life of their cities, and knowledge flowing freely across a changing world. What will not change is the university’s deepest purpose: to seek truth, to nurture the whole person, and to serve humanity. The Forum is dedicated to preserving this purpose, even as the world continues to change and evolve. 4
重塑高等教育:創新引領未來 簡介 2026 世界頂尖大學校長論壇 2026世界頂尖大學校長論壇匯聚全球一流大學的領導者,就高等教育的未來展開坦誠對話。 當今世界正經歷深刻變革,人工智能迅猛發展、地緣格局變遷、全新經濟需求湧現,大學自身價值 與使命亦面臨深刻叩問。本論壇所追問的,並非大學如何順應變局,而是如何引領未來。 大學是人類所締造的眾多機構之中最恆久者之一,其歷史早於大多數國家、更早於一切現代 科技。然而,恆久並非不朽,不出一代人的時間,機器將與我們並肩教學和研究,學位的意義將 經受前所未有的考驗,社會與研究型大學之間的契約亦有待重新界定。今日領導者的抉擇, 將決定2050年的大學能否依然屹立於人類知識的中心,以及以何種形態屹立於世。 本屆論壇以「重塑高等教育:創新引領未來」為主題,作為首屆盛會,匯聚來自不同國家與學科的 大學校長,共同應對當今時代的核心挑戰:駕馭人工智能時代、推進全球健康與開放科學、迎接 全球重大挑戰、驅動未來經濟,以及深化大學與其所服務社群之間的聯繫。透過主題演講與深度 圓桌對話,與會者坦誠交流——唯有同處其位、共擔其責的同儕,方能直陳灼見、共議重大議題。 這不僅是一場會議,更是一次共同的想像:勾勒2050年大學的願景,並從今日開始著手構建。 未來的大學,或許與我們今日所熟知的大不相同——學習不再囿於講堂,新知探求因智能機器 而加速,校園融入城市脈動,知識在瞬息萬變的世界中自由流動。而始終不變的,是大學最深層 的使命:探求真理、培育全人、服務人類。本論壇旨在守護這一使命,無論世界如何演變,皆使之 恆久長存。 5

9 Themes 主題
Themes | 主題 Artificial intelligence is reshaping how universities teach, discover, and create value, at a pace few institutions were built to match. As machines take on work once thought to require human judgment, the task before university leaders grows larger than any technology: to define what a graduate must be able to do that no machine can, and to turn intelligence into invention that serves people. This theme holds those two commitments together—the formation of human beings, and the innovation that formation makes possible. 人工智能正在重塑大學的教學、知識探索與價值創造的方式,其步伐之迅速,非多數院校的既有 體制所能應對。當昔日有賴人類判斷的工作逐漸由機器代勞,大學領導面臨的課題已不只關乎 技術,既要重新界定畢業生應具備哪些機器無法取代的能力,也要將智能轉化為創新發明,以造福 人類。本主題探討大學如何兼顧此雙重使命:作育人才,並以人才引領創新。 The modern university is no longer a place apart, but a partner in the health and survival of the communities it serves—and, increasingly, of the planet itself. Pandemics, aging populations, a warming climate: no government, company, or country solves these alone, and universities hold much of the knowledge and convening power the work requires. This theme moves past the easy consensus that engagement is good, to ask what responsible engagement actually demands. 現代大學不再是遺世獨立的象牙塔,而是所服務社群的重要夥伴,共同守護健康、締造繁榮與 福祉,並日益肩負起地球永續的責任。疫症威脅、人口老化及氣候暖化等種種挑戰,非任何 政府、企業或國家所能獨力解決;大學正好掌握應對此等挑戰的豐富知識,亦具備匯聚各方的 號召力。本主題不囿於「參與社會即為善」的普遍共識,更要追問:負責任的社會參與,究竟對 大學提出了怎樣的要求? Theme I The University in the AI Era 主題一 人工智能時代的大學 Theme II The University and Society 主題二 大學與社會 10
Throughout history, universities have been among the most enduring engines of human civilization, passing the flame of knowledge across generations and across borders. In an ever more closely connected world, their role as bridges between peoples and cultures has never mattered more. This theme looks back at the university’s place in the long course of human civilization: the keeper of humanity’s common knowledge, and an institution belonging at once to a particular soil and to the whole world. 縱觀歷史,大學一直是推動人類文明進步的恆久力量,使知識跨越世代與國界,薪火相傳。 隨著世界聯繫日益緊密,大學作為不同民族與文化的溝通橋樑,其角色更是舉足輕重。本主題 回顧大學在人類文明長河中的地位:大學守護人類共有的知識,既植根一方水土,亦屬於整個 世界。 Theme III The University and Civilization 主題三 大學與文明 11

10:45-11:45 Opening Panel | 開幕專題 The University and the Century Ahead 大學與未來百年 As this gathering of leaders begins, we open not with answers but with the largest question of all: what kind of university will the world need a century from now? The pressures are already clear—intelligent machines, changing expectations of universities’ role in society, and a world that is simultaneously more connected and complex. Universities have weathered upheavals before. They have endured because they remain anchored to a clear purpose while continually renewing how they fulfill it. This opening dialogue sets the scene for the Forum, inviting speakers to look beyond immediate challenges and consider the university’s enduring mission. What must universities preserve, and what must they reinvent to ensure they remain a force for knowledge, wisdom and the betterment of society in the century ahead? 值此群賢畢至之際,本論壇不以答案開場,而是以最宏大的叩問破題:百年之後,世界需要 何等大學?種種挑戰已然浮現——智能機器興起、大學的社會角色與時俱變、世界愈發緊密 相連又錯綜複雜。然而,數百年來,時代巨輪滾滾向前,大學屢經變遷而依舊屹立不倒,關鍵 在於堅守明確宗旨,同時不斷革新踐行之道。本場對話作為論壇開篇,邀請發言嘉賓將目光 從眼前的挑戰,放遠至大學的恆久使命,共同深思在未來百年,大學應堅守什麼、革新什麼, 方能持續擔當知識傳播、智慧啟迪與社會進步的中流砥柱。 Moderator 主持 Nancy IP, President, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 香港科技大學校長葉玉如 Panelists 座談嘉賓 GAO Song, President, Peking University 北京大學校長高松 LI Luming, President, Tsinghua University 清華大學校長李路明 Mosa MOSHABELA, Vice-Chancellor and Principal, University of Cape Town 開普敦大學校長 Mosa MOSHABELA Deborah PRENTICE, Vice-Chancellor, University of Cambridge 劍橋大學校長 Deborah PRENTICE Mark SCOTT, Vice-Chancellor and President, The University of Sydney 悉尼大學校長 Mark SCOTT 12:00-14:00 Working Lunch 工作午餐 China Garden, HKUST 科大南北小廚 15
Theme I — The University in the AI Era 主題一:人工智能時代的大學 Artificial intelligence is reshaping how universities teach, discover, and create value, at a pace few institutions were built to match. As machines take on work once thought to require human judgment, the task before university leaders grows larger than any technology: to define what a graduate must be able to do that no machine can, and to turn intelligence into invention that serves people. This theme holds those two commitments together — the formation of human beings, and the innovation that formation makes possible. 人工智能正在重塑大學的教學、知識探索與價值創造的方式,其步伐之迅速,非多數院校的 既有體制所能應對。昔日被認為有賴人類判斷的工作逐漸由機器代勞,大學領導所面對的 課題已遠超越技術本身:既要重新界定畢業生應具備哪些機器無法取代的能力,也要將智能 轉化為創新發明。本主題將這兩項使命緊密結合:作育人才,並以人才培育成就創新。 14:00-15:15 Panel Dialogue I | 專題對話(一) Educating the Human: The Generation Shaping the Intelligent Age 育人之本:智能時代的人才培養 Artificial intelligence will not merely make teaching harder—it may remake what teaching is. When every student can turn to a tutor of endless patience, and knowledge answers the moment it is asked, the lecture, the classroom, and the degree are all called into question. A horizon opens that education has never seen: learning shaped to each mind, freed from the walls of the hall, reaching anyone, anywhere. Yet as machines take over the transmission of knowledge, the university’s deeper work comes into sharper focus—to form the judgment, character, and wisdom no machine can replace. This dialogue asks how universities can seize this moment to reimagine teaching itself, empowering the next generation not merely to use intelligent technologies, but to lead the AI era with wisdom, resilience, and purpose. 人工智能不僅為教學帶來更大挑戰,更可能徹底重塑「教學」的本質。當每位學生都能隨時求教 於一位耐心無盡的導師,當知識隨問即答,講授教學、實體課堂乃至學位制度,其意義無不面臨 重新審視。教育迎來前所未見的嶄新天地,學習可因材而異、掙脫時空之囿,惠及世界每一角落 的學子。然而,正當機器逐漸接掌知識傳授,大學最本真的使命反而愈發清晰——培育機器無法 取代的判斷力、品格與智慧。本場對話將探問大學如何把握此一契機,重新想像教學的本質, 成就下一代,使他們不僅能善用智能科技,更能以智慧、韌性與使命感引領人工智能時代。 Moderator 主持 Linda DOYLE, Provost and President, Trinity College Dublin 都柏林聖三一大學校長 Linda DOYLE Panelists 座談嘉賓 15:15-15:30 Tea Break 茶歇 Ebrahim AL HAJRI, President, Khalifa University of Science and Technology 哈利法科技大學校長 Ebrahim AL HAJRI HO Teck-Hua, President, Nanyang Technological University 南洋理工大學校長何德華 CHANG Jin, President, University of Science and Technology of China 中國科學技術大學校長常進 MA Yanming, President, Zhejiang University 浙江大學校長馬琰銘 DING Kuiling, President, Shanghai Jiao Tong University 上海交通大學校長丁奎嶺 Stephen MCARTHUR, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, University of Strathclyde 思克萊德大學校長 Stephen MCARTHUR Joan GUÀRDIA, Rector, University of Barcelona 巴塞隆納大學校長 Joan GUÀRDIA ZHANG Xiang, President and Vice-Chancellor, The University of Hong Kong 香港大學校長張翔 16

This dialogue explores how universities can advance discovery, train the next generation of health leaders, and close the equity gap between and within nations. The question before us: how do we build a century of health that reaches everyone? 疫症威脅、人口老化與深層次社會不公,皆昭示健康休戚與共、無分疆界,我們的應對更不應囿 於一國一地。本場對話探討大學如何推進科研突破、培育新一代醫療健康領袖,以及彌合國家 內部以至國際間的健康差距。我們當前的課題是:如何開創一個人人得享安康的健康新世紀?

This roundtable considers how universities can move from studying the crisis to leading the response—uniting research, education, and civic influence behind a habitable future. How do we convert our vast intellectual capacity into action equal to the scale and urgency of the planetary moment? 氣候變化、生物多樣性喪失與資源短缺,皆非任何單一學科或國家所能獨力解決。本場圓桌 討論探索大學如何從剖析危機轉為帶領各方積極應對,凝聚研究、教育及公民影響力,共創 宜居未來。當前,我們居住的星球正面臨空前嚴峻、刻不容緩的挑戰,大學如何將其雄厚的 學術實力,轉化為堅實有力的行動?

THEME III — The University and Civilization 主題三:大學與文明 Throughout history, universities have been among the most enduring engines of human civilization, passing the flame of knowledge across generations and across borders. In an ever more closely connected world, their role as bridges between peoples and cultures has never mattered more. This theme looks back at the university’s place in the long course of human civilization: the keeper of humanity’s common knowledge, and an institution belonging at once to a particular soil and to the whole world. 縱觀歷史,大學一直是推動人類文明進步的恆久力量,使知識跨越世代與國界,薪火相傳。 隨著世界聯繫日益緊密,大學作為不同民族與文化的溝通橋樑,其角色更是舉足輕重。 本主題回顧大學在人類文明長河中的地位:大學守護人類共有的知識,既植根一方水土, 亦屬於整個世界。 13:30-14:30 Panel Dialogue III | 專題對話(三) Bridges Across Borders: Advancing Open Science 跨越邊界的橋樑:推動開放科學 Science has always advanced fastest when knowledge, talent, and discovery flow freely across borders. Sustaining that openness today calls for wise stewardship—safeguarding national security, upholding research ethics, and engaging honestly with intensifying global competition, all while keeping collaboration at the heart of the scientific enterprise. This dialogue asks how universities can navigate these responsibilities without losing the spirit of openness, turning legitimate tensions into a foundation for deeper cooperation. How can the global academy remain a bridge between nations, and what leadership will that ask of us? 科學之能突飛猛進,歷來有賴於知識、人才與新發現跨越疆界自由流通。時至今日,要延續 這種開放流通的格局,尤須仰賴審慎睿智的把舵——既守護國家安全、恪守研究倫理,亦要 直面日趨激烈的全球競爭,同時始終堅持科學研究以協作為本。本場對話探討:身負多重 責任,大學如何繼續秉持開放精神,將各方的張力轉化為深化合作的契機。全球學術界如何 一如既往地擔當國與國之間的橋樑?這又對大學的領導力提出了怎樣的要求?

14:30-16:00 Roundtable III | 圓桌討論(三) Rooted and Reaching: The University in Its Place and in the World 紮根與拓展:大學的地方性與世界性 Great universities are not islands; they are anchored in the communities and regions that sustain them, even as their influence reaches across the world. This roundtable explores how institutions can deepen their civic role—driving local prosperity, well-being, and belonging— while retaining their global reach. How do universities make deep local roots the foundation of a global contribution rather than a limit upon it? 卓越的大學並非孤島,而是植根於孕育其成長的社群與地區,其影響力卻遍及全球。本場圓桌 討論探討院校在保持全球視野的同時,如何深化其公民角色,促進地方繁榮、福祉與歸屬感。 大學如何讓深厚的本土根基成為貢獻寰宇的基石,而非受其所限?

16:20-17:30 Closing Panel | 閉幕專題 From Dialogue to Action: A Roadmap for the Future of Higher Education 從對話到行動:高等教育未來的藍圖 Over these two days, we have examined the university through three lenses—how it nurtures an individual’s development and drives innovation, its relationship with society, and its role across human history. But dialogue, however rich, is only a beginning. This closing panel asks what we will take forward: which insights must become commitments and which conversations must become partnerships and collaborations. Drawing together the threads of the preceding themes, our speakers will chart a practical path ahead—one that turns shared understanding into concrete action, so that the ideas exchanged here continue to shape the university, and the world it serves, long after we depart. 兩天以來,我們透過三重視角審視大學之道——智能機器時代的育人與創新、大學與社會的 關係,以及大學在人類文明長河中的定位。對話縱然精闢豐碩,終究只是起點。這場閉幕專題 所探問的,正是如何讓連日的研討成果走得更遠:哪些洞見應化為承諾,哪些交流應化為合作。 發言嘉賓將融會前述主題的脈絡與精髓,共同擘劃一條務實的前路——將共識化為具體 行動,使此間交流的思想延續至會議之外,持續引領大學及世界向前邁進。 Moderator 主持 Yike GUO, Provost, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology 香港科技大學首席副校長郭毅可 Lead Discussants 主評嘉賓 Susanne AALTO, Deputy President and Deputy CEO, Chalmers University of Technology 查爾姆斯理工大學副校長兼副執行長 Susanne AALTO Stuart CROFT, Vice-Chancellor and President, University of Warwick 華威大學校長 Stuart CROFT Linda DOYLE, Provost and President, Trinity College Dublin 都柏林聖三一大學校長 Linda DOYLE Emilio FAROLDI, Deputy Rector, Politecnico di Milano 米蘭理工大學常務副校長 Emilio FAROLDI Dawn FRESHWATER, Executive Director, Worldwide Universities Network and Former Vice Chancellor, The University of Auckland 世界大學聯盟行政總監、奧克蘭大學前校長 Dawn FRESHWATER JIN Li, President, Fudan University 復旦大學校長金力 17:30-18:00 Closing Ceremony 閉幕典禮 Closing Remarks by Dr CHOI Yuk-lin, Secretary for Education of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region 香港特別行政區教育局局長蔡若蓮博士致閉幕辭 Strategic Release: Ten Key Issues on the Agendas of World-Class University Presidents 戰略發佈:世界頂尖大學校長關注的十大議題 Remarks by Representative of the Strategic Planning Group of WCUPF 世界頂尖大學校長論壇戰略規劃小組代表致辭 22
