Program Book for the World Class University Presidents Forum

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
