Over 190 teams of secondary school students participated in the College of Science’s CityUHK Science Video Competition 2024 by submitting videos that explain scientific principles or phenomena. Under intense competition, the judging panel selected 2 Gold Awards, 3 Silver Awards, and 4 Bronze Awards.

Nearly 40 secondary school teachers and students joined the CityUHK Science Patent Challenge 2024-25 intellectual property workshop on 19 October 2024, co-organised by the Office of the Provost and Deputy President and the College of Science (CSCI).

With financial support from CityUHK, Issac Ho, a third-year student from CSCI’s flagship GREAT programme (Physics stream), finished a fruitful 6-month research internship at the University of Cambridge in August 2024. His research is about condensed matter physics, which requires delicate equipment and precise measurement skills.

CityUHK’s UG Information Day was held successfully on Oct 5; over 2000 HKDSE takers, their parents, and teachers visited the College of Science’s (CSCI) booth for the latest admission tips. This year, for the first time, the College set up a “Science Corner” and over 500 participants had fun winning souvenirs by cracking Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics questions.

With support from the College, Tasha Lam has undertaken the co-operative educational scheme for science students to work on a research project related to the catalytic decomposition of plastics in Professor Edman Tsang’s group at the University of Oxford in the summer of 2024.

With high popularity, the College of Science (CSCI) is proud to announce that the “CityUHK Science Patent Challenge” comes to the third round! All the 3 winning inventions of the second round were granted Hong Kong short-term patents by the Intellectual Property Department. Congratulations!
