Officium et Civitas 敬業樂群

The University motto encapsulates our educational philosophy and the attitude we want our students to develop. The first two Chinese words 敬業 encompass the requirement to combine academic professionalism and career ethics. The last two words 樂群 emphasise personal growth and development, and advocate group spirit and the need to care for society. Officium et Civitas is the Latin translation for the motto. Officium denotes a high-minded sense of duty. Civitas refers to both town/city and “union of citizens”.

Worldwide Recognition CityU jumped five places from 154th last year to 149th among the world’s top universities according to The Times Higher Education Supplement 2007 survey. CityU is one of the four Hong Kong universities listed in the top 200. The Faculty of Business has become the only business school in the Greater China region to be triple accredited. The accreditation by the Association of MBAs, together with those received from AACSB International in 2005 and EQUIS in 2007, serves as ample proof the faculty has assumed a leading position in Asian business education.

世界認可根據英國《泰晤士報高等教育特刊》2007年度全球200所最佳大學排名顯示，城大躍升五位，居第149位。城大是香港四所榜上有名的最佳大學之一。城大商學院成為大中華地區唯一獲得三項認可資格的商學院。商學院年內獲工商管理碩士課程協會頒發認可資格，在此之前，先後於2005年及2007年取得國際管理教育協會及歐洲評審組織的認可資格，足證商學院在亞洲商業教育領域中佔有領先地位。

Campus Development Major infrastructural projects on campus made further progress during the year. The groundbreaking and foundation stone laying ceremonies for the Community College of City University Building and Multi-media Building were held in January and March 2008 respectively. Upon completion of the two buildings in 2010, CityU will be equipped with more advanced facilities to support its education and research activities.

校園發展校園大型基建項目年內取得實質進展。香港城市大學專上學院大樓及多媒體大樓分別於2008年1月及3月舉行動土和奠基典禮。兩座大樓於2010年落成後，將提供更多先進設施，支援城大的教研活動。

香港城市大學 2007–2008 年報年度大事摘要

Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席序言

CityU has strived this past year, as it will continue to do, to reach beyond the city boundaries of Hong Kong and ensure its teaching and applied research has an international impact. 過去一年中，城大奮發向前，將來亦不會鬆懈，力求超越香港界限，在教學和應用研究方面取得令世人刮目相看的成績。

Chairman’s Foreword City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

I am delighted to introduce, on behalf of the University Council, the 2007–2008 Annual Report for City University of Hong Kong (CityU). CityU is clearly a university on a mission, one that is encapsulated in its Mission Statement prioritising professional education programmes and the pursuit of applied research. The past academic year has seen CityU significantly bolster the number and value of research grants it has been awarded, which serves to further the reputation and international standing of the University and, perhaps more importantly, improve the quality of life for society as a whole. The impressive achievements of our staff and students have earned them local, regional and international acclaim and remain the cornerstone of our success. This success can be measured quantitively in the University’s ranking within the world’s top 150, according to the respected assessment of The Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings. This improvement is even more accurately reflected in the qualitative improvement of our students, who are proving themselves to be “ideal graduates”. Their achievements, set out in detail in this report, have again underscored the value of the globalised focus on their professionally-oriented education. As we are well aware, the advent of the four-year normative degree will be introduced in 2012, bringing with it myriad opportunities and a series of challenges. Enhancing the facilities, teaching and learning environment on campus has been a continued priority of the University Council and giant strides were taken this year towards expanding our academic facilities. The foundation stone-laying ceremony for the state-of-the-art Multi-media Building was the first physical step towards the completion of a stunning facility that is the product of the hard work and vision of many CityU staff members. The innovative and aesthetically dazzling building will become a striking Hong Kong landmark and a focal point for the development of creative media in Asia.

本人很高興代表大學校董會在此介紹香港城市大學(城大)2007–08年報。城大是一所具有使命感的大學，擔負明確的責任，以發展專業教育為本，並積極推動應用研究。在過去的一個學年裏，城大研究工作獲得的資助在質與量上均有顯著增長，從而提升了大學的聲譽和國際地位，更重要的是，研究成果有助改善社會的生活質素。城大教職員和學生的傑出成就，為他們贏得本地、亞太區及國際上的讚許，同時亦是大學成功的基石。這種成功有目共睹，根據備受重視的《泰晤士報高等教育特刊》2007世界大學排名，城大位列世界最佳150學府排名榜。城大學生的優秀品質更準確地反映了這種進步，他們不愧為「理想的畢業生」。本年報詳細列出他們的成就，再次彰顯國際視野在專業教育中的重要性。我們很清楚知道，大學本科學位課程將於2012年起實行四年制，其中蘊含着許多機會和挑戰。增添設施和提升校園教學及進修環境一直是校董會首要關注的事務，年內我們在擴充教學設施上亦闊步邁進。設備先進的多媒體大樓在年內舉行奠基典禮，朝完工日期踏出實質性的第一步。這座別致奪目的大樓凝聚着許多城大同事的努力及願景。大樓設計獨特，外型新穎美觀，落成後將成為別具特色的香港地標，也將成為亞洲創意媒體發展的中心。

香港城市大學 2007–2008 年報校董會主席序言

Also catering to the University’s long-term development needs is the Community College of City University (CCCU) Building, the groundbreaking ceremony of which was held in January 2008. CityU is one of the leading pioneers in sub-degree education in Hong Kong, with one in every three associate degree students in Hong Kong studying at CityU. Through CCCU, CityU continues its proud tradition of offering Associate Degrees of the highest quality and some 6,000 students currently study for these awards in the College. When this new building is completed in 2010, we anticipate that this number will continue to grow and enrich the depth of our University. CityU relies upon, and indeed receives, the unwavering support of University Grants Committee members, Education Bureau officials, Legislative Councillors, community leaders, colleagues at higher-education institutions, donors and the CityU community. CityU has strived this past year, as it will continue to do, to reach beyond the city boundaries of Hong Kong and ensure its teaching and applied research has an international impact. Indicative of this support is the fact CityU could, in 2008, present more than 500 scholarships worth a total of HK$10 million to outstanding students, courtesy of funds donated by professional bodies, charitable trust funds, private firms and the CityU Staff Giving Club. It is partnership and support of this kind that has propelled research development at CityU. Our reputation, to cite one example of many, as the hub for climate research in the Asia-Pacific region was established with the launch of The Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre due to the support and partnership with the corporate sector. The University sets out to make its stakeholders proud of the institution and its world-class standing amongst the best tertiary institutes in the world today. We also honoured our most dedicated supporters. For the first time, the CityU bestowed upon four distinguished persons the title of Honorary Fellow in recognition of their distinctive contribution to the development of, and service to, the University.

城大專上學院大樓是配合大學長遠發展的另一項計劃，工程動工儀式已於本年度1月舉行。城大是香港副學士教育的先驅之一，每三名香港副學士中便有一人就讀於城大。城大專上學院秉持優良傳統，為學生提供高質素副學士教育，目前在校的副學士學生約有6,000名。2010年新大樓落成後，預計學生人數會持續增加，也使大學的教育發展更具深度。城大仰仗並深慶得到各方志士仁人的鼎力襄助，其中包括大學教育資助委員會委員、教育局官員、立法會議員、社會賢達、高等院校同工、贈款善長，以及所有城大人。過去一年中，城大奮發向前，將來亦不會鬆懈，力求超越香港界限，在教學和應用研究方面取得令世人刮目相看的成績。得到不同專業團體、慈善基金、私人機構和城大教職員捐獻會的大力支持及慷慨捐助，城大在2008年向學業表現優秀的學生頒發了500多項獎學金，合共1,000萬港元。正是這種夥伴精神和支持，推動了城大的研究發展。受惠於工商界合作和支持而成立的佳達亞太氣候研究中心，足證城大作為亞太區氣候研究權威的卓絕聲譽，此僅為眾多例子之一。城大致力讓與之相聯繫的人士以大學為榮，以其位列世界最佳學府林為傲。我們並向給予城大最熱誠支持的人士表達敬意，首度頒發榮譽院士銜予四位傑出人士，以表彰他們服務城大之熱忱及為大學發展所作出的貢獻。

Chairman’s Foreword City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

All of this only serves to enable us to retain our unabashed focus on our undergraduate programme and the goal of producing young professionals capable of making a positive contribution to a world that is rapidly changing and becoming increasingly interdependent. CityU this year welcomed to its campus a new President, Professor Way Kuo, whose own international background and impressive academic record has him perfectly placed to play a leading role in securing all-important collaboration and advice from respected institutions and organisations around the world. In regard to any of the major indicators that measure the progress of our University, I am satisfied we are moving in the right direction and, with the plethora of exciting developments still in the pipeline, have a wonderfully bright future unfolding.

凡此種種，令城大可以堅定向辦好本科生教育的目標奮進，培養出年青的專業人才，足以為瞬息萬變而又日益相互依賴的世界作出貢獻。城大今年很高興迎來新校長郭位教授。郭教授有非常豐富的國際經驗，學術成就卓越，絕對勝任領導城大，為城大與全球傑出學府建立更緊密的合作關係。以各種主要指標衡量城大的發展進度，本人很高興看到，大學朝着正確方向邁進，而許多正在籌劃中的其他發展項目，將為我們迎來更燦爛的未來。

Income Total consolidated income for the year 2007–08, comprising government subventions, student tuition and other fees, donations and matching grants, interest and investment income, and other contract and auxiliary revenue, was $3,181 million. In comparison with 2006–07, the reduction of $392 million in revenue was mainly due to the $331 million drop in interest and investment income on account of the adverse investment environment, and the $40 million reduction in government subventions consequent upon the phasing out of UGC-funded associate and taught postgraduate programmes.

收入 2007–08年度的綜合收入為31億8,100萬元，包括政府撥款、學費和其他收費、捐款及配對補助金、利息及投資收入，以及其他合約與雜項收益。收入較2006–07年度減少3億9,200萬元，主要因為投資環境欠佳，導致利息及投資收入下降3億3,100萬元，以及政府撥款因為教資會資助之副學士及修課式研究學位課程逐步取消而減少4,000萬元。

Government Subventions Government subventions for 2007–08 dropped by $40 million compared with 2006–07, due mainly to $34 million drop in recurrent grants and $35 million reduction in donation matching grants under the Government’s Matching Grants Scheme, offset by increases of $9 million in earmarked grants, $10 million in Capital Grants and Alterations, Additions and Improvement Block Allocations and $8 million in Government rates and rents.

政府撥款 2007–08年度的政府撥款較2006–07年度減少4,000萬元，主要是由於政府經常性撥款減少了3,400萬元，以及政府配對補助金計劃下的捐款配對補助金減少3,500萬元，但特定撥款增加900萬元，基本工程撥款及改建、加建、維修及改善工程整體撥款增加1,000萬元，以及退還差餉及政府地租800萬元，抵銷了部分減少的撥款。

香港城市大學 2007–2008 年報司庫報告

Tuition and Other Fees Tuition and other fees from students for the year were $1,374 million, representing 43% of total income. The $40 million increase over 2006–07 was attributable mainly to the increase in the number of self-financing programmes and students, part of a strategic initiative by the University to expand its resource base to offset the effect of reduction in UGC-funded programmes. Investment Income The unfavourable market conditions experienced in the last three quarters of the year under review has had a major impact on the performance of the Group’s portfolio. Investment income fell to $83 million from $414 million recorded in 2006–07. Due to the pervasive liquidity problem in global financial sector and its potential knock-on effects on global economy as a result of the financial crisis in September 2008, the University is closely and actively monitoring its investments in financial assets and will continue to adopt a prudent, diversified and long-term approach to its investment to ensure a steady source of investment income for the University. Donations and Benefactions In 2003, the HKSAR Government established a $1 billion Matching Grant Scheme to help UGC-funded institutions kickstart their fundraising efforts. With the successful outcome of the First, Second and Third Matching Grant Schemes, the HKSAR Government implemented the Fourth Matching Grant Scheme in January 2008, in response to which the University received generous donations totalling $52 million from corporations, friends of the University and philanthropists. The monies raised, including the Government’s matching grant, will be used to support University development, research and departmental functions, as well as student learning. The successful fundraising campaign was not only supported by donors in the community, but also by the University community. Among the donations, The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust donated a further $1.6 million to support the Student Hostels project during the year under review. About 800 members of the University Council, academic and administrative colleagues, alumni and students participated in the campaign, demonstrating the cohesiveness of the University community. The University is thankful to all donors for their generous financial support.

學費及其他收費年內的學費及其他收費佔總收入的43%，達到13億7,400萬元，較2006–07年度增加4,000萬元，主要來自大學採取的一項策略性措施，即增加自資營運課程數目及學生人數以拓闊收入來源，抵銷教資會資助課程縮減的影響。投資收入由於年內最後三季市場轉差，嚴重影響大學整體的投資組合表現，投資收入由2006–07年度的4億1,400萬元下降至 8,300萬元。 2008年9月發生的金融危機在環球金融市場造成流動資金困難，並會對環球經濟帶來潛在的連鎖影響。因此，大學正緊密及主動地監控其金融資產的投資，並將繼續採取審慎、多元化及長遠的投資策略進行投資，以確保大學的投資收入穩定。捐款及捐贈香港特別行政區政府於2003年推出10億元的配對補助金計劃，以協助教資會資助的院校開展籌款活動。由於第一、第二及第三輪配對補助金計劃十分成功，政府於2008年1月推出第四輪配對補助金計劃。在配對補助金計劃效應下，大學得到各機構、友好及慈善家慷慨捐助，共籌得5,200萬元。籌得款項連同政府的配對補助金，將用以支援大學發展、研究及部門活動以及學生學習。籌款活動不但得到社會人士襄助，更獲大學仝人支持，其中，香港賽馬會慈善信託基金於年內捐出160萬元，資助興建學生宿舍。大學校董會、教職員、校友和學生共約800人亦慷慨解囊，反映大學上下一心。大學謹此多謝所有捐助者的支持。

Treasurer’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

Expenditure Total consolidated expenditure for 2007–08 was $3,045 million, an increase of $304 million, or 11%, as compared with the previous year, of which $2,247 million was spent on teaching, learning and research activities of the Group. This increase in expenditure was necessary for supporting the increase in student numbers and programmes, for undertaking strategic development, for promoting international exchange and language enhancement, and for improving teaching and research quality. The University has approximately 3,300 full-time regular academic and administrative staff members, research fellows and visiting scholars, to ensure quality education and services for our students and community. In addition, some 2,500 students were employed during the year under the On-campus Service-learning Scheme, aimed at enhancing students’ professional and personal development through on-campus employment opportunities.

開支 2007–08年度綜合開支總額較去年增加3億400萬元，即11%，達30億4,500萬元。其中22億4,700萬元用於大學整體的教學及研究活動。開支增加是由於學生人數及課程數量上升，並須支援大學策略發展，推廣國際交流與增強語文學習，以及提高教學與研究質素。為確保大學向學生及社會提供優質教育與服務，大學共聘用約3,300名全職學術和行政人員、研究員及客座學者。此外，年內大學亦透過校內「邊學邊做計劃」聘用約2,500名學生，藉校內工作機會，提升學生的專業及個人發展。

Capital Programmes In 2007–2008, a total of $66 million was incurred on capital development programmes and various alterations, additions and improvement projects. During the year, the University held the foundation stone laying ceremony for its state-of-the-art Multi-media Building, which is a nine-storey complex with 13,400 square metres in net operational floor area with approved funding of $577 million. The building is applauded for balancing function and inspiration, while creating a striking landmark that will be a focal point for the development of creative media in Asia. The University also held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Community College of City University Building (CCCU Building) during the year. The 40,000-square meter CCCU Building is scheduled for completion in April 2010 and will be a new home for the Community College and also a new milestone for our education services. The cost of the CCCU Building is supported by a government loan of $599 million. In addition, the University is investing $87 million in the development of a 16,500m2 Shenzhen Outpost, a base for applied research, incubation and teaching activities in mainland China. Construction is well underway and the CityU (Shenzhen) Research Institute Building expected to be fully operational by 2009. The University has achieved a great deal in its mainland development in recent years and the erection of the building, which is the first among local universities, represents a milestone in the University’s development. The building will be an environmentally-friendly high-tech facility. The Government is pleased with CityU’s four year curriculum proposal and has approved the construction of the Academic and Administrative Building and Student Hostel Phase 4.

基本工程項目 2007–08年度，基本工程及其他改建、加建、維修及改善工程項目的開支共6,600萬元。大學於年內為先進的多媒體大樓舉行奠基典禮。興建中的多媒體大樓樓高九層，實用面積達13,400平方米，共獲得 5億7,700萬元撥款。大樓設計既實用又能激發想像，建成後將成為亞洲創意媒體發展中心的地標。大學亦於年內為城大專上學院大樓舉行動土禮。此40,000平方米的城大專上學院大樓預期在2010年4月落成，並將成為專上學院的新居及我們在教學服務上一個新的里程碑。城大專上學院大樓獲政府貸款5億9,900萬元興建。此外，大學正投資8,700萬元興建面積達16,500平方米的深圳產學研基地。該基地將作為城大在內地發展應用研究、孕育產業項目和推動教學培訓的據點。有關工程進展順利，預計城大產學研大樓可於2009年全面啟用。城大近年在內地發展取得多項成果，目前興建中的項目將成為本地大學首幢在深圳完成的大樓，並且是城大發展的里程碑。新大樓將糅合環保與高科技元素。政府對於城大的四年本科學制建議表示滿意，並已通過城大興建教學行政大樓及第四期學生宿舍。

香港城市大學 2007–2008 年報司庫報告

Self-Financed Activities During the year under review, self-financing programmes contributed $971 million to the Group’s income, an increase of 6% over 2006–07, of which $340 million and $208 million was contributed by CCCU and SCOPE respectively. The number of full-time equivalent self-financed students enrolled on award-bearing and other pre-associate degree and general programmes in 2007–08 reached a record high of 18,000. The University focuses on the development of the high-value and advanced self-financing programmes. During the year, the University Council approved a proposal to safeguard continuous employment for approximately 100 colleagues deployed to work at CCCU by transferring them to work mainly on top-up programmes in SCOPE, effective from 1 July 2008. The proposal enables CCCU to operate with a clean slate when it turned completely self-financing on 1 July 2008. Management Committees have been established to ensure the smooth transition and to help with further development of SCOPE.

Subsidiaries and Associates The income received and expenditure incurred by University subsidiaries in 2007–08 was $424 million and $264 million respectively. After taking into account the consolidated entity’s share of losses of associates and other non-operating income and expenses and taxation, the surplus of income over expenditure for the year was $161 million, compared with a surplus of $123 million last year.

自資營運活動年內自資營運課程為大學整體帶來9億7,100萬元收入，較2006–07年度增加6%，其中3億4,000萬元及2億800萬元分別來自城大專上學院及專業進修學院。修讀自資營運的學位和文憑課程，以及副學士學位先修課程及一般課程等同全日制的學生人數，於2007–08年度達到18,000人，為歷年來最高。大學集中發展優質增值自資營運課程。校董會於年內通過建議，繼續聘用以往調任至城大專上學院約100名同事，安排他們調配往專業進修學院負責銜接學位課程，由2008年7月1日起生效。有關建議有助於城大專上學院2008年 7月1日完全轉為自資營運模式後，按全新模式運作。大學已設立相關管理委員會確保過渡順暢，以及協助專業進修學院進一步發展。

附屬及聯營公司附屬公司2007–08年度的收入及開支分別為4億2,400萬元及2億6,400萬元。計入綜合帳目的應佔聯營公司虧損、其他非營運收入與開支以及稅項後，年內收入減去開支共錄得盈餘1億6,100萬元，去年的盈餘為1億2,300萬元。

Treasurer’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

Moving Forward The satisfactory result of the current Triennium lays a solid foundation for the University to make substantial and long-term investments to support our academic endeavours. The forthcoming four-year undergraduate curriculum will be an opportunity for the University to take a significant leap forward in its development. The University has implemented proactive plans to recruit additional quality academic staff and develop its physical estates. To better equip itself to take up the challenges ahead, the University will continue to refine its financial planning and management framework, and to further improve the quality of its teaching and research to scale new heights of academic excellence.

前瞻本三年期的良好財務狀況為大學奠立了堅實的基礎，讓大學可作長遠而重大的投資，以支持大學達成其教育目標。即將推行的四年本科學制將帶來機遇，使大學躍進發展。因此，大學已主動採取措施，招募更多優秀學術人員，並發展基建設施。為了更好地裝備自己，迎接未來的挑戰，大學將持續修訂其財務計劃及行政架構，並進一步提升教學及研究工作效率，在學術領域內再攀高峰。

President’s Report 校長報告

The University is no longer a youngster trying to assert itself on the Hong Kong landscape, but a vital and respected University asserting itself on the world stage. 城大不再是勉力在香港立名的年輕人，而已成為一所舉足輕重、名聲卓著的大學，在世界舞台上扮演着自己的角色。

President’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

I have arrived at City University of Hong Kong (CityU) at a time of great change and in the midst of impressive progress. The University is no longer a youngster trying to assert itself on the Hong Kong landscape, but a vital and respected University asserting itself on the world stage. The challenges that confront the University are quite distinct from those of years gone by. CityU is well positioned to meet these challenges and thrive at a time when the mission of a 21st century university far exceeds a singular teaching role. Today’s tertiary institutions must assume an important and proactive commitment to society as a whole, not just the student body. CityU retains its focus on nurturing students but also takes pride in providing a platform for the promotion of social advancement, research innovation, national spirit and harmonious civilisation, both within Hong Kong, mainland China and beyond, to the world at large. Permeating the pages of this report are a set of values and ambitions that define the character and achievements of this University, and ensure that it stands in good stead as it faces the challenges of the future.

Globalisation As CityU sets about achieving its education and research goals, while focusing on attracting the best students and teachers, the ever-increasing effects of globalisation present fantastic opportunities to broaden our students’ cognitive and social horizons in so many different ways. The University has undergone rapid development in the past few years and can now lay claim to world-class faculties and departments. There is, however, always room for improvement. Embracing the concept of globalisation, CityU has forged new and stronger ties with universities around the world. These mutually beneficial strategic alliances and partnerships with renowned mainland and international universities provide a synergy effect whereby the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

我到香港城市大學(城大)履任之日，正值鼎新革故之時，各項令人刮目相看的發展亦進行得如火如荼。城大不再是勉力在香港立名的年輕人，而已成為一所舉足輕重、名聲卓著的大學，在世界舞台上扮演着自己的角色。大學現在面對的挑戰和昔日的明顯有別。城大已準備就緒迎接挑戰，並將蓬勃發展。21世紀大學的使命畢竟已遠遠超越單純的教學。今天的高等學府應負起對整體社會而並非只是對學生的重大承擔。城大仍秉持培育學子的理想，然而亦感到自豪，能夠為香港、內地以至全世界提供各種機會，促進社會發展、研究創新、民族精神與融和文化。本年報的每個篇章都洋溢着一整套價值觀和雄心，勾勒出城大的特色和成就，以及勇於面對未來挑戰所據所恃的氣質。

立足本土放眼全球在注重吸引優秀師生的同時，城大致力實現其教育與研究目標，而日益深遠的全球化影響亦為學生提供極好的機會，從多方面擴闊認知眼界和社會眼界。大學在過去幾年中經歷了急速的轉變，堪稱已擁有世界級的學院和學系。當然，改進的空間永遠存在。城大欣然接受全球化的觀念，已經與各地大學建立更新更強的聯繫。與內地和國際著名大學互惠互利的策略性聯盟及合作關係可產生一加一大於二的協同效應。

As CityU reaches out to the world and the world to us, both the stature and sheer volume of international relationships grow and expand. In terms of the breadth of our global network, the number of institutions with which CityU has signed academic or student exchange agreements has soared by 55% in the past five years, from less than 200 in 2003–04, to more than 300 today. This growth is also reflected in the quality of institutions with which CityU has developed academic links. The past year saw the instigation of academic exchange programmes and partnerships between CityU and some of the most renowned institutions in the world, including Oxford University in Britain and Yale University and UC-Berkeley in the US.

城大正在與世界接軌，國際關係的質和量都不斷增長擴展。我們的全球網絡覆蓋廣闊，已簽訂學術或學生交換協議的學府數目在過去五年內上升了五成半，由2003–04年的不足200所增至今天的300多所。城大亦與愈來愈多高質素的學府建立學術聯繫。去年與城大締結學術交流計劃和合作關係的，不乏舉世聞名的學府，包括英國牛津大學和美國耶魯大學及加州柏克萊大學。

President’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

Closer to our own shores, the University has placed a greater emphasis on developing a joint academic agenda with mainland China and Taiwan, leveraging each other’s strengths to enhance the quality of degree programmes and industriousness and innovation of our research centres. With this improvement in quality and heightened international reputation comes a higher standing in the eyes of students beyond Hong Kong. CityU this year completed its mainland student recruitment exercise in 25 provinces and cities whose success was measurable by the further increase in the number of mainland students arriving at CityU to complete their studies. CityU conducted its first mainland student recruitment exercise through the National College Joint Entrance Examination Scheme in 2005–06, and began to admit students in the pre-selection round in 2006–07. The examination scores, English proficiency and general quality of mainland students admitted are on the rise year-by-year. CityU has played host to an array of international conferences and world class lecturers and academics over the course of the year, in fields as diverse as linguistics, trade, applied mathematics, ethics, multimedia and e-books in education. Among the many great achievers on the world stage to visit CityU were Nobel prizewinning chemist and celebrated political economist.

Playing on the World Stage As with any other multinational corporation, globalisation presents the chance for collaboration and leads also, inevitably, to competition, whether for resources or talent. In this regard, CityU has again seen its standing in the respected Times Higher Education Supplement World University Rankings improve. We are now ranked 149th in the world, five places higher than the previous year. This continued ascent into the top 150 institutions worldwide is a satisfying acknowledgement of the dedication of our staff and calibre of our students.

城大對鄰近地區的合作亦極為重視，一直致力與內地和台灣共同發展學術，利用彼此的強項提升學位課程的質素和研究中心的創造力及創意。質素提升、國際聲譽日隆，世界各地學生眼中的城大地位亦隨之提高。城大今年在內地25個省市完成招生工作，報讀城大的內地生人數進一步增加，可見非常成功。城大於2005–06年度透過「全國普通高校統一招生計劃」首次招收內地生，更於2006–07年度開始提前批次錄取學生。獲錄取的內地生考試成績、英語水平和整體質素每年均有提升。城大在過去一年主辦了多個國際會議，並接待多位世界著名的講者和學人，涵蓋學科範圍甚廣，如語言學、貿易、應用數學、倫理學、多媒體，以及教育用電子書籍等。訪問城大的眾多世界學術巨擘中，更有諾貝爾化學獎得獎者和著名政治經濟學家。

盡社會責任贏世界聲譽全球化帶來合作機會，亦無可避免會引起人才和資源的競爭，這與任何跨國公司必須面對的情形十分相似。這方面，城大在權威性《泰晤士報高等教育特刊》世界大學排名榜上比前一年上升五位，至149位，已位居全球首150所大學排名榜。城大排名不斷攀升，是教職員的奉獻精神和學生能力的最佳註腳。

Through joint initiatives with universities overseas, the Faculty of Business has been able to expand its global network, combine its strengths with that of its partners and offer internationalised education to the students. The faculty became the only business school in the Greater China region to be triple accredited. The recent accreditation by the Association of MBAs, together with those received from AACSB International in 2005 and EQUIS in 2007, reinforce the reputation of the faculty, as well as CityU as an international institution. The achievements of researchers, staff and students over the past year are indicative of the University’s emphasis on contributing to the betterment of society, whether through our world-class graduates or the impact of our applied research. The achievements have ranged across all faculties and schools and various disciplines, from nuclear and plasma sciences, environmental conservation, medical and health to youth development. The list of accolades and achievements in the Prizes and Awards chapter encompasses the breadth of the University’s academic realm and even extends to the sporting arena.

Preparing for the Four-year Curriculum CityU is now well-advanced in its preparations for the implementation of the four-year normative degree structure for undergraduates. We have taken progressive steps in the areas of planning curriculum structures, soliciting the advice and opinions of academic and administrative staff on the proposed formats and taken the initiative to ensure the retention and recruitment of quality staff. General Education (GE) courses, as directed by the Government, are regarded as one of the cornerstones around which Hong Kong will produce world-class graduates. GE courses, in essence, reflect the fact that to lead a fulfilling life against a backdrop of rapidly changing global needs and mainland China’s rapid development requires a wide range of skills and knowledge.

城大商學院透過與海外大學的合作計劃，擴展全球網絡，將商學院和合作院校的強項結合，為學生提供國際化教育。商學院年內獲得工商管理碩士課程協會的認可資格，連同2005年及2007年國際管理教育協會和歐洲評審組織頒發的認可資格，是大中華地區唯一獲得三項認可資格的商學院，彰顯商學院及城大的國際學府地位。城大研究人員和師生過去一年的成就，不論是透過具世界水平的畢業生或是應用研究所產生的影響，都顯示大學十分重視對社會的貢獻，肩負着改進社會的責任。城大所有學院及學科都各有成就，範圍涵蓋甚廣，從核子及等離子科學、環境保育、醫療衛生，以至青年發展。本年報「獎項與榮譽」一章臚陳各項嘉獎與成就，由此可見大學學術領域之廣，甚至延伸至運動領域。

積極籌劃迎接四年學制城大已為實施四年本科生學制準備就緒。我們的課程結構設計進展非常順利，教學及行政人員對建議的課程形式提出寶貴意見，大學亦積極採取行動，以確保留住及羅致各種人才。按政府指示，通識教育是香港培養具世界水平畢業生的基石之一。在瞬息萬變的世界環境中，以及內地急速發展的背景下，要發揮才華，創建事業，必須具備多方面技能和範圍廣闊的知識，這是通識課程基本反映的事實。

President’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

The first phase of the introduction of GE implemented in semester B 2007–08 saw students choosing from six GE courses focused on three divisional areas of study, namely Study of Societies, Social and Business Organisation; Arts and Humanities; and Science and Technology. The GE courses will broaden students’ horizons, increase their appreciation of cultural diversity and encourage them to become lifelong learners. In readiness for the influx of students arriving in 2012, CityU is undergoing an immense physical transformation. Major steps towards solving the space issues that beset all universities in densely populated Hong Kong took place this year, with construction getting underway for two landmark buildings and major renovation work undertaken across the existing campus buildings. It is difficult to overestimate the impact that will be made by the Multi-media Building, which is destined to become the focal point for the development of creative media in Asia and an architectural landmark for Hong Kong in its own right. CityU’s School of Creative Media has a proud tradition in the field of creative media and is dedicated to training a new generation of trans-media professionals and researchers. The building, which will be completed in 2010, will serve as both inspiration and practical asset. Another milestone in the construction of our brighter future was the groundbreaking ceremony for the Community College of City University (CCCU) Building. CityU is one of the leading pioneers in sub-degree education in Hong Kong and the new CCCU Building will ensure CityU continues to provide wonderful educational opportunities for the youth of Hong Kong. Other capital projects, such as the Academic and Administration Building and Student Residence Phase 4, are in the pipeline and moving towards fruition. This increase in size will play a significant role in the accompanying improvement in the quality of education and research undertaken at CityU.

2007–08年度下學年落實的首階段通識教育，為學生提供六項課程，分別以社會及商業組織、藝術及人文，以及科學及科技三個範圍作為重心。通識課程可擴闊學生眼界，提升他們對文化差異的理解能力，並鼓勵他們終身學習。為應付2012年激增的學生人數，城大現正大規模擴充設施。香港人口稠密，各大學均受地方不敷應用之苦。為解決這個問題，城大年內開始執行多個主要方案，兩座地標性大樓已動工興建，其他大型工程亦在校園內先後展開。多媒體大樓落成後的影響力暫難預見，然而這座大樓將成為亞洲創意媒體發展的焦點，並成為香港的建築地標。城大創意媒體學院擁有令人自豪的傳統，並致力培養新一代跨媒體專業人才和研究人員。大樓於2010年落成後，不僅可啟發靈感，而且具有極高的實用價值。大學進行各項建設以迎接更燦爛的未來，城大專上學院大樓動工儀式是其中的又一個里程碑。城大是香港推行副學士教育的先驅之一，新的專上學院大樓將確保城大繼續為香港的年輕人提供良好教育機會。其他主要工程也都進展順利，如教學行政大樓與第四期學生宿舍，正在如期籌劃之中，並很快會有結果。校園的擴張對城大提升教育與研究質素可起到意義重大的作用。

Community Networking The inauguration ceremony of CityU’s first Standing Committee of the Convocation was held during the year, marking a milestone in the development of alumni relations at CityU. CityU has groomed many outstanding graduates in the past two decades, with alumni living and working in around 30 countries and regions. The Convocation was established with the objective of recognising the contribution of alumni over the years and acting as a formal link between the University and its most precious product, its alumni. CityU has this year taken many steps to maintain close relations with prospective students, teachers and the public, from the annual Information Day introducing its programmes, campus life and facilities to the inaugural Parents’ Day, which provides an opportunity for parents of prospective students to learn about the University, understand the study life of their children and exchange views on university education. Undoubtedly, many challenges lie ahead, but with the unwavering support of UGC members, Education Bureau officials, Legislative Councillors, community leaders, colleagues at higher-education institutions, donors and the CityU community, we have confidence these issues will be resolved.

A Bright, Bold Future I sincerely hope this annual report will help to illuminate many of the progress, achievements, aims and core activities of the University by offering what can only amount to a mere snapshot of an entire year’s exemplary work by all categories of staff, as well as our brilliant and focused students.

拓展網絡鞏固社區關係城大首屆評議會常務委員會年內舉行就職儀式，標誌着城大校友事務發展的一個里程碑。城大在過去20多年中培養了不少傑出畢業生，城大校友遍佈全球約30個國家及地區。評議會成立的目標是表彰校友多年來的貢獻，並作為大學與校友之間的正式聯繫渠道。畢竟，校友是大學最可貴的成果。城大年內亦採取多項措施，與未來的學生、老師和公眾人士保持緊密關係，舉行的活動有每年一度的課程介紹日，以介紹城大課程、校園生活和設施，還首度舉辦了家長晚會，為中學生家長提供了解大學及子女學習生活的機會，以及交流有關大學教育的意見。前路無疑有不少挑戰，但在大學教育資助委員會各委員、教育局要員、立法會議員、社會賢達、高等院校同事、贈款善長，以及所有城大人不遺餘力的支持下，我們有信心所有問題都會迎刃而解。

豐年碩果累累前景光明開闊我衷心希望本年報可以昭列大學各項進展、成就、目標及重要活動。城大全體同仁精誠勤奮，學生才華橫溢而專心致志，年內成就可作典範，豈是筆墨所能盡錄。

President’s Report City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

It is a true privilege to assume the presidency of CityU at such an exciting time in its evolution. As the president, I see myself as the catalyst to enable the University to rapidly grow and excel in meeting the demands and challenges of a fast-changing higher education sector, both locally and internationally. With incredible growth awaiting us in the form of an influx of students with the advent of the four-year undergraduate degree, the focus on forging ahead with many new research projects and the truly exciting expansion of the campus and its facilities, I can only look forward to more years as successful as the one that has just elapsed.

城大正值轉變的精彩時刻，能夠出任校長是莫大的光榮。作為校長，我希望我的作用猶如催化劑，能夠促進大學迅捷成長及自我提升，以應付本地與國際高等教育不斷轉變的要求和挑戰。展望未來，所有發展令人既驚且喜，無論是隨着推行四年本科學制而來的學生人數激增，或重點貫徹眾多新研究計劃，以及令人期待的校園擴建及設施增添，我可以預見，未來會有更多像去年那樣的碩果累累的豐年。

From recruitment to the very structure of its courses, CityU took significant steps during the academic year to improve the quality of its education and prepare students for a world of increasing sophistication and globalisation. The University is attracting more top-notch students. With a new, enlightened curriculum, rising standards of teaching, and more programmes, facilities and space, CityU is prepared to provide them with the best possible education. 城大年內推行多項招生及制訂課程結構的重要措施，以提升教育質素及加強培訓學生，使之適應愈趨複雜和全球一體化的社會。大學繼續錄取更多優秀學生入學。隨着大學制訂啟發思考的新學制、提升教學水平、開辦更多課程、拓展設施和空間，學生將可得到更理想的教育。

The International Advisory Board is set up by CityU’s School of Law to further enhance teaching and research. 城大法律學院成立國際顧問委員會，旨在促進城大法律學院的教研工作。

Internationalising Education The University has continued to help students study abroad so they can benefit from exposure to foreign cultures and languages, international experts and the latest research. In order to give students more international exposure and to make it a world-class teaching and research institution, the School of Law formed an international advisory board with prominent legal practitioners and with law schools of the prestigious Harvard, Yale and Oxford universities. During the year, the School of Law reached a number of agreements with mainland and overseas institutions, including: • Agreements with the Faculty of Law, Monash University, Australia, and the University College, Oxford, UK, were signed for CityU’s law students to spend a month in the summer through the Global Legal Education and Awareness Project. About 50 CityU students are expected to join the programme every year. • Agreements with the Supreme People’s Court and National Judges College in Beijing were finalised to provide advanced legal training for mainland judges. This is the first time the Supreme People’s Court and National Judges College have collaborated with an academic institution outside the mainland to provide training for mainland judges. The business schools of CityU and the University of California at Berkeley agreed on an exchange of students, academics, researchers and administrators. In one such exchange, 60 business executives

Quality Education City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

Preparing for the New Curriculum CityU is carefully preparing for the transition to the four-year undergraduate curriculum in 2012. Complicated issues include those relating to the anticipated large influx of students, limitations of space, staffing requirements and the logistics of handling the new admissions. The new curriculum revolves around the need to produce students with broad knowledge combined with creative and critical thinking. The University thus designed a series of General Education (GE) courses under three disciplines: Arts and Humanities; the Study of Societies, Social and Business Organisations; and Science and Technology, to broaden students’ horizons and increase their appreciation of cultural diversity. The first six GE courses were phased in during the second semester of 2007–08. About 40 more GE courses are to be gradually introduced during 2009–12.

籌備新學制城大正努力為2012年推行四年本科學制的過渡做籌備。由於推行新學制後將有大批新生入學，預期會遇到多項複雜問題，包括校園用地短缺、職員人手要求以及各項處理新生入學的配套安排。新設計的課程目的在於培育兼備創意與獨立思考及具廣泛知識的學生。因此，大學按三大範疇設計了一系列通識教育科目：藝術及人文、社會及商業組織、科學及科技，以擴闊學生視野及提高欣賞不同文化的能力。通識教育的首六個科目於2007–08學年下學期逐步開辦，其餘約40個科目將於2009–12學年期間逐漸推出。

That applied to both local and non-local students. A total of 44 newly-recruited local students with outstanding academic and athletic achievements were awarded the A+++ Scholarships, an increase of 57% compared to 2006. CityU’s emphasis on internationalised programmes and quality instruction continued to draw the best students from the mainland. Students admitted from the 25 provinces and cities through the National Joint College Entrance Examination Scheme were well above the Band One baseline for admission to top-ranking mainland universities. Candidates admitted from 24 of the 25 provinces and cities were among the top 0.7% performers.

During the academic year, plans were made for students to go overseas under the Cultural and Language Immersion Scheme to develop intercultural awareness and English language skills through academic and social service engagement in an overseas English-speaking environment. Under another initiative, the Language Companion Course, students can consult online English tutors about their course work. The University also emphasises the study of Putonghua as the demand for proficiency in the language has grown rapidly because of increased trade and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the mainland. CityU signed a second agreement with the State Language Commission for the University to continue to administer the National Putonghua Proficiency Test and to offer preparatory courses. Under the expanded agreement, the University’s Putonghua Training and Assessment Centre will be open to all citizens of Hong Kong.

CityU introduces the student notebook computer loan scheme. 城大推行學生手提電腦借用計劃。

Using IT in Learning and Teaching Access to computers is indispensable for a quality education, so the University introduced a programme that allows all eligible students to borrow a laptop for up to two-and-a-half years. E-learning is a priority in the University’s Information Services Strategic Plan 2005–10. CityU uses the Blackboard Learning System as a uniform e-platform for learning and teaching. It is now used in 70% of courses and also for co-curricular activities. When the system first came into use at CityU, teachers focused on making the course content interactive and attractive to the students. Now they increasingly use the discussion forums, blogs and wikis to further engage the students.

Promoting High-standard Teaching Central to the new four-year curriculum is the Outcomes Based Teaching and Learning approach, which continued to be phased in during the academic year. It involves the simple but powerful core idea of student-centered education: teachers identify what they want their students to be able to do after a particular course and then develop the instructional activities that help the students achieve that goal. This approach is being carried out in about 2,400 courses from 2006–09.

運用資訊科技從事教學電腦是優質學習不可或缺的工具，因此城大年內為所有合資格的學生提供手提電腦借用服務，借用年期長達兩年半。大學2005–10年資訊服務策略計劃的重點是電子學習。Blackboard是城大的統一電子教學平台，現有七成課程和課外活動採用這一平台。系統最初推出時，教師主要用作加強科目內容的互動性以吸引學生，現在已擴闊至用作討論區、網誌，促進學生學習。

推動高水平教學「成效為本的教與學」是四年本科學制的重點，大學在年內繼續逐步推行這項教學法。這項以學生為本的教學法簡單有效。教師先確認學生完成某科目後應具備甚麼能力，然後設計教學活動以協助學生達到該項目標。大學將於 2006–09學年在大約2,400個科目中推行這項教學法。

The Multi-media Building will be a focal point for the development of creative media in Asia. 多媒體大樓將成為亞洲創意媒體發展的焦點。

Quality Education City University of Hong Kong Annual Report 2007–2008

Expanding the Campus With an anticipated increase in students and programmes, CityU must create more space and upgrade facilities. Three key new buildings are scheduled to open by 2010: • Construction on the Multi-media Building (MMB) started during the academic year. The nine-storey, state-of-the-art complex will house the School of Creative Media and three related departments and centres. • Construction also started on the 40,000-square-meter Community College of City University (CCCU) Building. The College now has about 6,000 students; that number is expected to grow when the new building opens. • The CityU (Shenzhen) Research Institute Building is nearing completion and is expected to open in 2009, inside the Shenzhen Virtual University Science Park. It will be a permanent base for the University’s professional education, applied research and incubation activities on the mainland. A fourth complex, the Academic and Administration Building, will be built at the Kowloon Tong campus. Together with the MMB and CCCU Building, this will add a total of 60% more space to the campus.

擴建校園應付所需為應付繼續增加的學生及課程數目，大學必須增闢用地及提升設施。以下是計劃於2010年前落成啟用的三座主要建築物： • 樓高九層、設備先進的多媒體大樓於年內開始興建，將供創意媒體學院及三個相關學系及中心使用。 • 面積達40,000平方米的城大專上學院大樓亦已動工興建。學院現有約6,000名學生，預計大樓落成啟用時，學生人數將繼續上升。 • 位於深圳虛擬大學園內的城大深圳產學研大樓已接近完成，預計於2009年啟用。大樓將成為城大在內地發展專業教育、應用研究及孕育產業的永久基地。大學的第四項工程項目為九龍塘校園內興建的教學行政大樓。該大樓連同多媒體大樓及城大專上學院大樓，將為大學增加六成用地。

魚創造第一個

「通用」的海水魚實驗模型，監測一系列污染物的影響。

Environment The University opened a hub for research into the threats posed by climate change in the region, including threats to agricultural production, energy consumption and water resources in the Pearl River Delta. The newly established Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre, led by Professor (Chair) Johnny Chan Chung-leung, aims to develop ways to forecast severe climatic events and assess their risks. CityU has been a pioneer in the research of typhoons and monsoons in Asia. A test on how fish respond to pollutants in the sea was developed by the Centre for Marine Environmental Research and Innovative Technology. The centre is using the marine medaka to create the first “universal” fish model for monitoring the impact of a wide range of pollutants. Since the genes of the marine medaka are very similar to those of humans, changes in the physiology of the fish due to pollution can serve as an early warning sign. Medicine and Health An expandable tube inserted into the body to correct spinal problems was developed by Professor (Chair) Paul Chu Kim-ho of the Department of Physics and Materials Science. The stent is made of nickel-titanium alloy treated with plasma; a notable advance is that it can be bent at lower temperatures and restored to its original shape at higher temperatures. The stent is undergoing clinical trials, and has been implanted into a patient for observation.

環保城大成立佳達亞太氣候研究中心，以了解亞太區內氣候轉變所帶來的影響，包括對珠江三角洲農作物生產、能源消耗以及水資源的影響。該所新研究中心由陳仲良講座教授領導，旨在研究預測氣候惡變的方法及其風險評估，城大是亞洲颱風及季風研究方面的先行者。海洋環境研究及創新中心成功研創首項「通用」海水魚實驗模型，以監察多種海洋污染物的影響。中心選用的鯖魚，基因與人類相近，通過測試鯖魚對海洋污染物的生理反應，可及早獲得關於海洋污染的預警信號。醫療保健物理及材料科學系朱劍豪講座教授研製出可擴張的支架，植入人體內，可矯正脊骨病變。該支架以等離子技術處理過的鎳鈦合金製成，特點是遇冷彎曲，遇熱時則可恢復原狀。該發明目前已進入臨床試用階段，現正觀察一位病人在植入後的進展情況。

Less-invasive solutions may do wonders for some illnesses. Dr Cheng Sheung-tak, Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Social Studies, has found that playing mahjong may boost the cognitive abilities of the elderly. That finding may help in the fight against senile dementia, a debilitating condition usually associated with Alzheimer’s disease or a stroke. Youth Issues Like the elderly, young people face their own particular risks. Dr Annis Fung Lai-chu, Assistant Professor in the Department of Applied Social Studies, found a way to tackle the problem of schoolyard bullying that involved providing therapy to the bullies and improving the communication and counselling skills of parents, teachers and social workers. In the 20 schools that adopted this approach, the problem was significantly reduced. Dr Fung’s project won an Outstanding Project Award at the Quality Education Fund Projects Exposition during the year. Of the more than 7,000 projects the fund supports, only 20 were named Outstanding Projects. Dr Yue Xiaodong, Dr Jacky Cheung Chau-kiu, Associate Professors from the Department of Applied Social Studies, also researched another preoccupation of youth – the worship of idols. A survey of more than 500 Form 1 to Form 3 students in Hong Kong and Shenzhen found that they idolise people whom they see as “normal youngsters” and similar to them, allowing them to be imitated.

The Department of Management Sciences announces findings from its annual index on consumer satisfaction in Hong Kong. 管理科學系公佈香港消費者滿意指數調查結果。

Hong Kong employees are more satisfied with their jobs when their accomplishments are recognised and supervisors clearly outline their expectations, according to a survey conducted by the Department of Management. 城大管理學系的調查顯示，本地員工認為上司嘉許下屬表現，並說明對工作的要求，可增加他們在工作上的滿足感。

Business The CityU-Hong Kong Consumer Satisfaction Index 2007, completed by the Department of Management Sciences, provided businesses with data on what categories of products and services consumers liked or disliked. The index reached a record high of 70.2%, indicating consumer satisfaction had reached its highest level since the 1997 survey. A survey by the Department of Management of more than 600 Hong Kong workers found that workers in small organisations were the most satisfied with their jobs, while those in multinational organisations were the least satisfied. “Office politics” correlated strongly with low job satisfaction. The survey also found that workers were more satisfied when their accomplishments were recognised and their supervisors clearly outlined job expectations. Language Thousands of new words entered the Chinese lexicon in 2007, according to a study carried out by the Language Information Sciences Research Centre. It compiled the 2007 Pan-Chinese New Word Rosters by tracking Chinese newspapers in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taipei. Many of the new words indicate that Chinese speakers remained focused on relations between the mainland and Taiwan.

商業管理科學系製訂的「城大香港消費者滿意指數」為商界提供數據，以便了解消費者喜歡或厭惡的產品和服務種類。 2007年度的指數高達70.2%，反映消費者的滿意程度達到自1997年創立指數以來的最高水平。管理學系訪問了600多位本地僱員，發覺小型機構的員工對工作最滿意，相反在國際大企業工作的僱員最不滿意，而工作滿意程度低與「辦公室政治」有極大關係。此外，調查發現工作成績獲讚賞以及上司清楚訂明工作要求，會令員工較感滿意。語文根據語言資訊科學研究中心的研究，漢語在2007年新增數以千計的新詞。中心追蹤北京、香港、上海和台北的報章用語，編集成「2007年泛華語地區中文新詞榜」。當中許多新詞表明，漢語使用者最關注的仍是內地與台灣的關係。

Mr Zhang Xianen, Director-General of the Department of Basic Research in the Ministry of Science and Technology, led a delegation visiting the world class technologies of CityU’s Centre for Marine Environmental Research and Innovative Technology and the Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory. A delegation from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, led by its president, Professor Lu Yongxiang, also visited the campus.

大學於2007年11月接待由內地15個省份不同政府部門及中學組成的46人代表團，介紹城大學習環境及下一年招生計劃。城大多名來自內地的學生及畢業生亦出席活動，與代表團分享學習經驗。過去一年中，不少中國重要官員訪問城大。國家科學技術部基礎研究司張先恩司長率領代表團，參觀城大海洋環境研究及創新科技中心和應用電磁學實驗室的先進設備。此外，中國科學院院長路甬祥教授亦率領代表團訪問城大，加強雙方合作。

Strengthening Ties with Supporters CityU is indebted to the philanthropists, business people and others – many of them university alumni – who continue to help fund the University’s development. The University Council’s Community Relations Committee hosted a Thanksgiving Dinner for these supporters. At the dinner, University Council Chairman Mr Chung Shui-ming also acknowledged the ardent supporters of the Alumni Giving Club and the Staff Giving Club.

與支持者加強聯絡城大衷心感謝持續支持大學發展的慈善家、商界人士、校友及其他人士。為表謝意，校董會轄下社區關係委員會舉辦感恩晚宴。校董會主席鍾瑞明先生在晚宴上亦對校友捐獻會及教職員捐獻會的長期支持者表示感謝。

The University gives as well as receives. CityU staff members, students and alumni organised donations, charity sales and concerts to raise more than HK$1 million to help rebuild areas damaged by the earthquake in Sichuan. The inauguration of the first Standing Committee of the Convocation marked a significant step in CityU’s relations with its graduates. Led by Mr Patrick Lee Chung-wah, the committee chairman, the Convocation has strengthened communication links among the alumni and the University. CityU has some 80,000 alumni who live or work in about 30 countries and regions.

大學在接受捐助的同時，亦不忘施予捐贈。城大教職員、學生及校友為協助四川地震災區重建，年內舉辦籌款、義賣及音樂會等活動，籌得逾百萬港元。大學評議會首屆常務委員會正式就任，標誌着城大與校友關係的一個重要里程碑。在委員會主席李仲華先生的領導下，評議會努力增進校友及校友與大學之間的溝通。城大現有約80,000名校友，分佈在世界30多個國家和地區。

Mr David Chan is creating a contemporary calligraphic work at the David Chan Contemporary Calligraphy Exhibition. 陳子慧先生在「陳子慧現代書法展」開幕禮上即興揮毫，創作現代書法作品。

Cultivating Links through Art and Scholarly Publications CityU considers art and culture integral to whole-person education and shares that appreciation with people outside the campus. During the academic year, the University hosted the third City Literary Awards to encourage creative writing among young people and to promote the literary culture of Hong Kong and Macau. The number of entries soared over that of the previous year, yet CityU students still won seven of the 16 major prizes. CityU Gallery staged several exhibits by leading Hong Kong and foreign artists. They included: • wood carvings and jet print art by Hong Kong’s Mr Tong King-sum; • more than 30 paintings by Mr Hon Chi-fun; • about 50 artworks by Chinese artists who visited Japan from the end of Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty; • thirty pieces of contemporary calligraphy by Hong Kong artist Mr David Chan; and • a collection of works by Spanish artist Mr Mario Pasqualotto, who collected plastic bags from around the world and then transformed them into fabrics, stained glasswork and canvases.

透過藝術與學術出版加強聯繫城大認為，藝術和文化是全人教育不可分割的一部分，並應與校外人士一起分享和欣賞藝術文化。年內大學舉辦了第三屆城市文學獎，鼓勵青年從事文學創作及在港澳地區形成濃郁的文學氛圍。今年參賽作品遠多於往年，而城大學生勇奪16個獎項中的七個獎項。城大藝廊多次為本港及外地優秀藝術家舉辦展覽，其中包括： • 香港唐景森先生的雕塑及噴墨版畫作品； • 韓志勳先生逾30幅畫作； • 明清易代之際到清代後期中國旅日書畫家約50件作品； • 香港陳子慧先生30幅現代書法作品； • 西班牙藝術家Mario Pasqualotto先生收集世界各地的膠袋創作而成的布料、彩繪玻璃及畫布作品。

The City Cultural Salon, a discussion group, became a regular campus event during the year. One of the gatherings looked at colleagues’ hobbies of Chinese painting and calligraphy from scientific perspectives. Another one saw Kunqu artists demonstrate the traditional Chinese performance art that blends dancing, singing and acting. Live artistic performances also were hosted in other CityU venues. Mr Aurelio Gabaldón, an award-winning Spanish tenor, performed some of the finest moments of Spanish opera, accompanied by pianist Ms Yolanda Vidal. The renowned National GuoGuang Opera Company of Taiwan gave two Peking Opera performances to promote this traditional art among young people. The City University of Hong Kong Press promoted cultural appreciation and scholarly knowledge with the publication of 14 new titles. The books covered language education and research into languages, youth development issues, cultural studies and economics.

討論和欣賞藝術的平台「城市文化沙龍」成為年內在校園定期舉行的聚會，其中包括從科學角度探討同事對中國書法畫作的嗜好，以及由崑曲藝術家示範糅合舞蹈、歌唱和表演藝術的傳統中國戲曲。大學亦安排在校園舉行現場表演，邀得西班牙得獎男高音演唱家Aurelio Gabaldón先生，在Yolanda Vidal女士的鋼琴伴奏下，演繹西班牙歌劇的精采曲目。著名台灣國立國光劇團亦為城大演出兩場京劇，向年輕人推廣中國傳統藝術。城大出版社為推動文化欣賞及學術知識，年內共出版14本新書，內容包括語文學習、語言研究、青少年成長問題、文化研究及經濟學等。

University Governance 大學管治

The year has been another busy period for the Council and its committees. The primary task of finding a new President for the University was successfully completed in November 2007 with the announcement of the Council’s decision to appoint Professor Way Kuo as the new President. The decision of the Council to appoint Professor Kuo was unanimous and the Council expressed its firm commitment to support the new President in his task of leading the University over the coming years. 過去一年又是校董會及其轄下委員會忙碌的一年。隨着校董會公布委任郭位教授為新任校長，遴選校長的重任已於2007年 11月順利完成。校董會一致通過委任郭教授的決定，明確表達對新任校長在未來數年帶領大學繼續發展予以全力支持。

Professor Kuo took up his appointment in mid-May 2008 and has since been working on the new strategic plan and on the most appropriate organisation structure to deliver the plan and its proposals. As mentioned in the Annual Report for 2006–07, the Audit Committee commissioned an independent review of the internal system of control within the University. The review was undertaken by PricewaterhouseCoopers who submitted their report to the Committee in April 2008. The review made a number of recommendations to strengthen the management of the University and the system of internal control, particularly in relation to the knowledge transfer activities of the University. The recommendations of the report are being studied by the President in relation to his review of the committee and management structure.

郭教授於2008年5月中履新後，即着手制定新策略計劃，積極研究最合適的組織架構, 以助推行有關計劃及建議。在2006–07年報中提及，審計委員會將進行大學內部監控制度的獨立檢討。羅兵咸永道會計師事務所獲委任負責有關檢討，並於2008年4月向委員會提交報告。報告提出多項加強管理大學及其內部監控制度的措施，特別是關於大學知識轉移的活動。校長正研究報告書的建議，以檢討有關委員會及管理層的架構。

香港城市大學 2007–2008 年報大學管治

The other Council committees focused on the challenges that lie ahead of the University, including the change from the three year to four year undergraduate curriculum. One of the major challenges is to recruit additional, well-qualified staff. The Human Resources Committee has called for a review of staffing procedures and remuneration packages to help facilitate this recruitment programme.

校董會轄下其他委員會則專注研究大學所面臨的挑戰，包括大學本科課程三改四，其主要挑戰之一是招聘更多優秀的教職員。為此，人力資源委員會正檢討聘任職員的程序及薪酬制度，以加強招聘成效。

The 2007–08 academic year saw the end of the transition period for the removal of government funding from the Associate Degree programmes offered by the Community College of City University (CCCU). In September 2007, the Council decided that University staff seconded to work in the CCCU would be given the opportunity to transfer back to the University, to join the School of Continuing and Professional Education which is responsible for offering top-up degrees of overseas institutions and adult education. Some 80 staff accepted the transfer offer, which took place on 1 July 2008.

由香港城市大學專上學院開辦的副學士課程不再獲政府資助的過渡期於2007–08學年正式完結。校董會於2007年9月通過，借調至專上學院的大學教職員可選擇調回大學本部，加入負責開辦海外學院銜接學位課程及成人教育的專業進修學院。約80名教職員接受有關的調職安排，並於2008年7月1日生效。

As a practising accountant and alumna of the University, I value and benefit from the emphasis placed by the University on equipping the students with the skills and knowledge which will enable them to contribute to the future development of Hong Kong and China as responsible and all-rounded professionals. Our new President has further emphasised the development of our professional education programmes. I believe that this will enable the University to grow from strength to strength. 城大一向注重培養學生具備各樣知識和技能以成為負責任的專業全才，為香港和內地未來的發展作出貢獻。我作為城大校友，今天成為執業會計師，也深受其惠。新任城大校長最近亦進一步強調發展專業教育課程的方針，我深信此信念將推動大學繼續茁壯成長。

Hong Kong is well poised to become the economic powerhouse of the region. To be able to do that, we look to the higher education sector to provide the talents with skill, business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to provide new and fresh ideas to Hong Kong. It is also important that we learn from the experience of other leading economies to enable us to be more competitive and innovative. CityU’s internationalisation programme and the strengthening of our links with institutions worldwide can bring great benefits to our economic and social development. 香港勢將成為亞太區強大的經濟實體。要達到此目標，實有賴高等教育界提供具備商業觸覺、技巧和企業精神的人才，為香港注入新的思維。學習其他經濟強國的經驗也很重要，可以增強我們的競爭力和創新精神。城大的國際化活動及與世界各地的院校加強聯繫，將為經濟和社會發展帶來莫大裨益。 Mr Joseph Lee Chung-tak
