Ranking

排名穩步上升

The core areas of business studies and engineering and computer sciences received international recognition in 2013–2014, a strong endorsement yet again of the teaching and research activities that have been taking place in these two broad areas. The College of Business was ranked 46th in the world and 2nd in the Asia-Pacific region, according to the University of Texas at Dallas Top 100 Business School Rankings. The survey analyses publications in two dozen leading academic journals in business that are highly correlated with the top 45 premier business journals used by the Financial Times and the 20 best journals used by Businessweek in their research of the top business schools worldwide.

在2013–14年，城大在商學、工程 ╱ 計算機科學主要領域的成績獲得國際公認，肯定了大學在這兩大學術領域的教研實力。根據美國德克薩斯州大學達拉斯管理學院公佈的全球100 所最佳商學院排行榜，城大商學院在全球排名第46，在亞太區位居第二。此項調查分析了20多種著名商業學術期刊，從而得出排名；這些期刊多數獲選列入英國《金融時報》最佳45 種商業期刊和美國《商業周刊》最佳20種商業期刊，這兩份報刊各自分析其所選期刊，以研究世界各地的最佳商學院。

In terms of engineering, CityU was ranked 1st in Greater China, including Hong Kong, and 25th worldwide, in the Broad Subject Field of Engineering/Technology and Computer Sciences, according to the Academic Ranking of World Universities 2013 by Shanghai Jiao Tong University, showing a steady climb in the past four years, and making a significant contribution to technological innovation in the region.

Community support Naming lecture theatres and academic units in honour of pillars of society reveals the strong undercurrent of public support that CityU attracts. In October 2013 two very moving naming events were held at which relatives honoured their own family members and CityU. The main lecture theatre in Academic 3 was named “Wong Cheung Lo Hui Yuet Hall” after the late Mr Wong Cheung and Mrs Wong Lo Hui-yuet in commemoration of their patriotism and humanitarianism, and the English Language Centre was named after Mrs Chan Feng Men-ling and her daughter, Miss Chan Shuk-lin, in appreciation of Mrs Chan’s significant support and contribution to the University. These two events were followed in January 2014 by a ceremony naming Lecture Theatre 16 in Academic 1 after alumnus Mr Benjamin Kwok Chan-yiu, Managing Director of Kwonnie Electrical Products Limited, in recognition of his generous support to the alma mater and his contributions to society.

就工科而言，過去四年來，城大在工程 ╱ 技術與計算機科學領域的排名不斷攀升，根據上海交通大學公佈的2013年「世界大學學術排名」，今年升至全球第25位，在兩岸四地名列第一，對區內的科技創新作出重要貢獻。

社會各界的支持城大以社會賢達的姓名為演講廳與學術單位命名，彰顯我校繼續獲得各界友好的熱心支持。在2013年10月，城大舉辦了兩次命名典禮，以捐助人的親屬姓名分別為兩個地方冠名，場面感人。其中學術樓（三）主演講廳命名為「黃翔羅許月伉儷講堂」，以紀念已故抗日戰爭英雄黃翔先生及黃羅許月女士的愛國和人道精神；英語中心則以陳馮曼玲女士及其女兒陳淑蓮小姐的名字命名，以感謝陳馮曼玲女士對城大的慷慨支持。 2014年1月，城大又將學術樓（一）16號演講廳正式命名為「郭燦耀演講廳」，以表彰城大校友、光榮電業有限公司董事總經理郭燦耀先生對大學的慷慨支持及對社會的貢獻。

年度大事摘要

New facilities

設施日益完善

The University’s dedication to growth and development continued unabated with the creation of several new state-of-the-art facilities that embody CityU’s strategic direction. The location of the new Senate Room is particularly significant. It occupies a prominent position on campus, on the top floor of Academic 3, with panoramic views over Kowloon. Likewise, the new Beijing Liaison Office, which opened in May 2014, signified CityU’s intent to maintain a strong presence at the heart of mainland China, strengthening ties with the mainland government, universities, science and technology institutions, enterprises, students and alumni.

城大致力促進大學的成長與發展，去年新增了不少先進教研設施，體現大學的策略發展方向。例如，將全新的教務會會議廳設在學術樓（三）頂層，位於校園顯要地點，可以俯瞰九龍全景。城大亦在2014年5月設立了北京聯絡處，以便緊密聯絡內地政府、高等院校、科研及企業等機構，以及學生、校友等人士，標誌著城大以北京為基地加強與內地的交流合作。

Back on campus, several new labs dedicated to promoting discovery and innovation were opened. The Gateway Education Discovery Laboratory (GE Lab) and the Discovery-enriched Curriculum Labs (DEC Labs) added new learning spaces that give students the chance to create, test and communicate ideas for more creative and interactive learning. The HK$4-million GE Lab provides a venue for students from science and non-science disciplines to get their hands wet and transform their dream designs into prototypes, while the DEC Labs have transformed traditional lecture halls into highly re-configurable learning spaces to facilitate more interactive blended-learning and “flip classroom” teaching. Additionally, the new CityU Apps Lab has created a stimulating environment in which students can develop apps for smart communication devices.

校內的幾個新實驗室亦陸續啟用，促進探索與創新，其中有精進探索實驗室與「重探索求創新課程」實驗室，不僅增加了學習空間，更使學生有機會發揮創意、測試創新意念，並彼此交流，靈活地互動學習。新增的精進探索實驗室耗資 400萬港元，為修讀科學及非科學的學生提供動手做實驗的場地，將理想中的設計變成實物雛型。「重探索求創新課程」實驗室將傳統的演講廳變成可靈活組合的學習區，以便進行互動複合式學習，並推廣新興的「反轉課堂」教學法。此外，城大亦設立應用程式實驗室，鼓勵學生參與開發智能通訊器材的應用程式。

Honorary fellows/graduates

頒授榮譽院士銜 ╱ 榮譽學位

CityU boosted its number of honorary graduates and fellowships at two major conferment ceremonies. In September 2013, CityU conferred the title of Honorary Fellow on five distinguished persons for their unstinting support and wise counsel over many years. They were Mr Rex Auyeung Pak-kuen, President–Asia and Senior Vice-President of the Principal Financial Group; Ms Maggie Chan Man-ki, Senior Partner of CMK Lawyers; Mr David Fong Man-hung, Managing Director of Hip Shing Hong Group; Mr Francis Ngai Wah-sing, Founder and CEO of Social Ventures Hong Kong; and Mr Wong Kai-man, Director of the Victor and William Fung Foundation Limited and the Fung (1906) Foundation Limited.

城大去年舉行兩場重要的典禮，增加了獲頒榮譽博士學位及榮譽院士銜之傑出人士的數目。2013年9月，城大頒授榮譽院士銜予五位傑出人士，以感謝他們多年來對城大不遺餘力的支持。他們是：美國信安金融集團高級副總裁及亞洲區總裁歐陽伯權先生；陳曼琪律師行首席合夥人陳曼琪女士；香港協成行集團董事總經理方文雄先生；香港社會創投基金創辦人兼行政總裁魏華星先生；經綸慈善基金有限公司、馮氏 (1906)慈善基金有限公司董事黃啟民先生。

Similarly, we conferred honorary doctorates on three prominent persons at the Honorary Awards Ceremony in November 2013 in recognition of their significant achievements and contributions to the well-being of society: Dr Yukio Hatoyama, President of the East Asian Community Institute; Mr Koo Ming-kown, founder of Nam Tai Electronics, Inc; and Professor Myron S. Scholes, Frank E. Buck Professor of Finance, Emeritus, at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

與此同時，城大在2013年11月頒授榮譽博士學位予三位傑出人士，以表彰他們的出色成就及對社會福祉的貢獻。三位榮譽博士是：東亞共同體研究所理事長鳩山由紀夫博士、南太電子創辦人顧明均先生、美國史丹福大學商學研究院Frank E. Buck金融學講座教授邁倫•斯科爾斯榮休教授。

年度大事摘要

Vet School

創辦動物醫學院

The newly founded School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM), the first of its kind in Hong Kong, will serve as an international centre of excellence for researching issues related to public and animal health in Asia in partnership with Cornell University, the top ranked veterinary school in the US and in the world.

城大與美國康奈爾大學合作，創辦了動物醫學院，這是香港首個同類學院。康奈爾大學動物醫學院的排名在美國乃至全球都名列前茅。目前，城大的動物醫學院已正式運作，未來將成為亞洲公共衞生及動物健康問題的國際卓越研究中心。

With the full backing of the Senate, the SVM began to establish its identity with a number of significant events during the year, including the International Animal Welfare Symposium in November 2013 where local and international experts discussed a range of animal welfare issues and how to promote a pet-friendly society; a conference titled “Direction of Sustainable Development for Hong Kong’s Agriculture and Fishery Industry” in March 2014, which brought together CityU academics and industry representatives and experts to explore new opportunities and discuss the development of the local agriculture and fishery industries; and a four-day clinical programme for veterinarians in March 2014, too, to study the latest medical treatments for trauma and fractures in horses and other large animals.

動物醫學院得到教務會全力支持，在年內舉辦或參與了多場重要活動，逐漸建立聲譽。2013年11月，學院舉辦國際動物福利論壇，與會的本地及外國專家討論了如何締造人畜共融社會等一系列有關動物福利的議題。2014年3月，城大舉辦「香港漁農業持續發展方向研討會」，與業界代表及專家攜手探索新機遇，討論漁農業在香港的可持續發展；城大在3月亦舉辦了為期四日的馬科動物骨折臨床治療培訓課程，幫助受訓的獸醫研習馬科等大型動物骨折及其他創傷的最新治療法。

In addition, CityU co-organised the 4th South China Small Animal Veterinary Conference in December 2013 in Guangzhou, showing how CityU is reaching out across the region to promote the SVM. In July 2013, senior management officials from Cornell University visited CityU to further advance the implementation of the SVM. The visit marked a significant step forward in the construction of a long-term alliance between CityU and Cornell University to build a world-class SVM in Asia, expanding educational opportunities for Hong Kong students.

城大亦於2013年12月參與主辦了在廣州召開的第四屆華南小動物醫師大會，顯示城大計劃在亞太區內推廣動物醫學院的決心。康奈爾大學高層管理人員於2013年7月到訪城大，加深兩校建立的長遠學術聯盟，攜手共建世界級動物醫學院，為香港學生提供更多教育機會。

30th anniversary

三十周年校慶

The celebration in honour of the University’s 30th anniversary began in earnest at the start of 2014 with a special ceremony to initiate the year-round festivities. Among the many highlights were the 30th Anniversary Kick-off Ceremony, 30th Anniversary Banquet and Homecoming Gala 2014, as well as arts, cultural, student and alumni programmes and distinguished lectures and international conferences.

城大在2014年年初為橫跨全年的三十周年慶祝活動揭開序幕。重點活動包括：三十周年紀念啟動典禮、校慶晚宴、 2014樂聚城大校友日，以及各種藝術、文化、學生、校友活動，還有多場傑出講座和國際會議。

In addition, distinguished international and CityU academic leaders addressed sustainability challenges in Hong Kong and the East Asia region at the Sustainability Summit in October 2014.

另外，城大於2014年10月舉行可持續發展高峰會，來自多國及城大校內的卓越學者匯聚一堂，共同探討香港與東亞地區如何面對推動可持續發展的挑戰。

In April 2014, more than 1,100 participants enjoyed sweet melodies in the “Embrace Our Dreams” joint concert while over 100 students, staff and alumni ran the Gyeongju Cherry Marathon 2014 in South Korea, also in April.

2014年4月，城大在香港大會堂舉辦「讓夢想飛翔」聯合音樂會，1,100多名參加者聚首一堂，共享悠揚樂曲。同在4月，城大一百多名學生、教職員及校友遠赴韓國參加了「2014年慶州櫻花馬拉松賽」。

While 30 years might not be considered a long time for some of the world’s older universities, the celebrations emphasised the extent to which CityU had developed and diversified since 1984, to become one of the leading universities in the world.

對於全球建校歷史較長的大學而言，30年算不上是很長的時間。然而，城大的慶祝活動著重體現城大自1984年建校至今如何快速發展，日益多元化，成為全球一流大學。

chairman’s foreword 校董會主席序言

The past year has been exceptionally successful for CityU. We have continued to flourish thanks to the vision and hard work of our senior management teams, our highly professional faculty and staff, our bright and talented students, our ever-increasing alumni body, and our dedicated friends and supporters in Hong Kong, around the region and much, much further afield, too.

回顧過去一年，城大取得了非凡的成就。城大能夠持續發展，有賴於大學管理層的高瞻遠矚與不懈努力，還有十分專業的大學教職員、聰穎的學生、不斷壯大的校友群，以及香港、亞太區及世界各地的城大好友與支持者。

Rising status

地位上升

International ranking activities are a very useful indicator of the strength of a university’s reputation in the international arena, but it is not the only means to assess how others regard our development. We have seen in the past year several other clear levels of support from the local and international community for the work that we undertake, and this has been very pleasurable to receive.

國際大學排名榜是一個可以評鑑大學在國際高等教育界的聲譽及實力的有用指標，惟並非外界評鑑城大發展的唯一方式。過去一年，城大的工作得到本地社區及國際社會的各種大力支持，對此我們深感欣喜。

As far as ranking goes, we have maintained our position around the 100 mark among world universities, around the top 10 in Asia, and the top 5 of world universities under 50 years of age. Meanwhile, the College of Business is ranked 2nd in the Asia-Pacific region and 46th in the world, according to the University of Texas at Dallas Top 100 Business School Rankings. Status is also measured by the number of people who take time out of their busy schedules to give talks on our campus or tour our facilities. We have hosted many world-class academics’ visits including a Nobel Prize winner and a former prime minister of Japan over the past year at our various lecture series, and we have entertained delegations from far and wide. Additionally, our rising status is reflected in the willingness of prominent members of the community to offer high levels of support by accepting our honorary awards, such as degrees and fellowships, and through events such as naming ceremonies and gift-giving. Last but not least, our researchers have attracted high levels of funding, too, from local and international bodies, showing approval in many fields for the research agenda that we pursue. We are confident that we remain on track to continue to prosper as a university that provides research that is applicable to today’s world.

城大在全球最佳大學排名榜中繼續位近前100名，在亞洲大學排名榜中位近前10名，而在建校未滿50年的全球50所最佳大學排名榜中，城大位列前五名。另外，根據美國德克薩斯州大學達拉斯管理學院公佈的全球100所最佳商學院排行榜，城大商學院在全球排名第46，在亞太區位居第二。城大的地位日漸上升，得以在年內邀得多名知名人士在百忙中抽空蒞臨城大主持講座或參觀校內設施。在去年舉行的各類講座系列中，城大有幸邀請到多位世界級學者及名人，包括諾貝爾獎得主與日本前首相，同時接待了國內外多個代表團來訪。此外，熱心支持城大的傑出人士欣然接受大學頒授的榮譽博士及榮譽院士等榮銜，以及參與命名典禮及接納餽贈等活動，也反映了城大的地位不斷提升。還有一點也很重要，城大的研究人員獲得本地或國際機構的慷慨撥款資助，足見大學多個領域的研究工作皆得到肯定。我們相信，城大正沿著正確軌道朝前發展，為當今世界提供切合需要的科研成果。

Public health

公共衞生

In terms of applicable research, we have developed strongly in the broad area of public health over the last year. Our pioneering School of Veterinary Medicine (SVM), the first of its kind in Hong Kong, is now in operation and will serve as an international centre of excellence for researching issues related to public and animal health in Asia in partnership with Cornell University, the top ranked veterinary school in the US and the world. On behalf of CityU, I would like to express our appreciation once again to different sectors of the community for their generous support and strong encouragement to continue pursuing our vision for the welfare of Hong Kong society and the region through the establishment of the SVM.

就應用研究而言，城大去年在公共衞生的廣闊領域取得卓越成就。城大與康奈爾大學合作，在本地率先創辦了動物醫學院。康奈爾大學動物醫學院的排名在美國乃至全球都名列前茅。這是香港的首間動物醫學院，現已正式運作，將成為亞洲公共衞生及動物健康問題的國際卓越研究中心。我在此代表城大，再次感謝社會各界的慷慨支持及鼓勵，幫助我們創辦動物醫學院，繼續為實現造福香港社會及亞太區的願景而努力。

Interdisciplinary research into a wide spectrum of public health issues has been widespread, too. A number of our foremost faculty has been working on projects specifically aimed at improving people’s lives with direct medical applications reaching a wider public such as work on artificial implants using plasma technology, smart clothing that monitors your health, robotics technology that can check for blood diseases, and breakthroughs in our understanding of memory processes in the human mind.

對於範疇廣泛的公共衞生問題，城大亦進行了多方面的跨學科研究。城大多位優秀教研人員從事多個研究項目，旨在直接運用於醫學檢測治療，改善民生，造福公眾，例如利用等離子技術提升人體植入物抗菌功效；研發監測健康情況的智能緊身衣；運用機械人技術檢測血液疾病；對人類大腦記憶形成過程的研究亦取得重大進展。

Sustainability and the environment

可持續發展與環境

The University has continued to promote the urgency of adopting more sustainable practices on campus and in the wider community. Sustainability is now very much part of the DNA of CityU’s operations.

城大繼續在校內及社會上倡導盡快施行更多持續發展措施。同時，可持續發展如今已融入城大日常運作的「基因」之中。

Socially aware initiatives have thrived through activities advanced by both faculty and students. The interdisciplinary collaboration Project Flame continues to pursue an energetic programme of social entrepreneurial education, and equitable and sustainable solutions to social problems, while the Green Roofs over Walls Project, which is strongly supported by the Campus Sustainability Fund, is going from strength to strength promoting permaculture and historical urban landscapes, transforming the rooftop of Academic 2 into a green environment. Meanwhile, many courses across campus include a sustainability element. In the arts and humanities, teaching and learning look at questions about the role of humans in the larger eco-system, reflecting on values and society; the business and social sciences refocus the debate on how a sustainable economy suggests a broader scope of development; and science and engineering look at topics such as the rise of the mega-city, new urbanism and the eco-city. Our aim is to ensure that our graduates are equipped with the latest skills related to creating and maintaining a more sustainable environment, and are more aware of the wider issues and threats, thus contributing directly to improving society.

城大師生組織各類活動，增進社會對可持續發展與環境的了解。「火焰計劃」是其中一個充滿活力的跨學科活動，目的是持續推行社會企業精神教育，為社會問題提供公平而可持續不斷的解決方法。在校園可持續發展基金大力支持下，天台牆體綠化項目(GROW)日益壯大，推動了永續種植與城市歷史景觀，並把學術樓（二）的天台變成一片翠綠世界。此外，城大在全校開設的多項課程亦融入了持續發展的元素。在人文科學領域，教與學著重探討人類在生態系統中的作用，思考各種價值觀與社會的關係；在商業及社會科學領域，則將討論重新集中在可持續發展經濟如何能夠帶來更大的發展空間；在科學及工程學領域，我們關注大城市的興起、新都會主義與生態城市等話題。城大的目標是確保畢業生能夠掌握最新的技能，藉此營造和維持更利於持續發展的環境，深入了解各類有關的問題及威脅，為改善社會作出貢獻。

30th anniversary

三十周年校慶

Several exciting events have taken place in our anniversary year, making all the celebrations more cheering. We have seen a number of cultural, academic and alumni-related events take place during the year, and in addition to landmark events such as the Antarctica trip, several of our faculty have spearheaded exciting new research projects while students have performed well on regional and international stages. Public events such as the 30th Anniversary Joint Concert involving CityU singers and musicians at Hong Kong City Hall served to emphasise CityU’s role and influence in Hong Kong, allowing the public a chance to experience the CityU spirit and a diverse range of talent.

今年是城大的三十周年校慶年，校方在年內舉辦了多場文化及學術慶祝活動、校友活動，歡慶的氣氛越來越濃厚。除了南極探索之旅這類創舉之外，城大教研人員同時亦率先開展嶄新研究計劃，而城大的學生在本地及國際上也有出色表現。聯合音樂會是城大三十周年校慶的對外活動之一。城大音樂團體的成員在香港大會堂舉辦聯合音樂會，展示了城大在香港的角色與影響，讓公眾有機會體驗城大精神及城大人在不同領域的才能。

This spirit has also been evident in our participation in regional sporting events such as the Gyeongju Cherry Marathon 2014 which saw over 100 staff and students run the picturesque South Korean race in April. Such events further enhance a sense of belonging to CityU and project a healthy image of the University. Additionally, CityU has reinforced its image as a healthy, unified campus community thanks to the outstanding efforts of its men’s and women’s sports teams. They won the men’s and women’s overall championship titles for an unprecedented eighth time in the annual sports competitions organised by The University Sports Federation of Hong Kong, China, while several CityU athletes were selected for individual prizes in the wake of their outstanding performances.

城大的團隊精神亦體現在積極參與地區的體育比賽，例如 2014年4月，百多名學生與教職員遠赴風景如畫的韓國慶州參加「2014年慶州櫻花馬拉松賽」。這類活動加強了大家對城大的歸屬感，同時亦突顯了城大的健康形象。此外，城大運動隊在多項男子及女子組賽事中獲得佳績，亦加強了城大社群健康、團結的形象。在本年度香港大專體育協會的賽事中，城大運動隊第八次贏得男女子團體總冠軍，另有好幾位運動健兒憑藉其優秀表現，更獲得參賽項目的「最有價值運動員獎」。

Future trajectories

未來發展之路

CityU is a youthful university that continues to evolve. Over the last year we have seen new facilities cropping up; a brand new science department taking root; new names given to departments, reflecting growth and adaption; and a vibrant batch of young faculty members making their mark in their various fields of enquiry, all of which give me a great hope for the future.

城大風華正茂，不斷演進。過去的一年，各項新設施相繼啟用，新的科學學系成立，亦有部分學系改名，均體現了發展與變更；還有一批青年學者在多個學術領域表現傑出，上述種種成就令我對城大的未來寄以厚望。

For these reasons, I am confident that CityU will continue to grow and prosper. I applaud everyone involved in the University’s development, and look to the future with confidence.

Herman Hu Shao-ming, BBS, JP Chairman of the Council

因此，我相信，城大將會繼續成長、蓬勃發展。在此要感謝各位為城大發展付出的努力，我對城大的前途滿懷信心。

Government Subventions Government subventions for the year were $2,053 million. These subventions, including block grants, earmarked grants, capital grants and grants from other government agencies, have increased by $27 million, compared with $2,026 million in 2012–13. Block grants and supplementary grants for the salary adjustment rose by $78 million mainly due to additional grants for the increase in senior-year intakes and salary revision on the current triennium. However, the increase in block grants was offset by a reduction in donation matching grants of $72 million as compared with last year. The block allocation for capital and alterations, additions and improvements (AA&I) was reduced by $9 million due to the completion of major building projects last year. The grants from government agencies were increased by $27 million to $83 million for the year 2013–14. The University is committed to disciplinary excellence in research and seeks to maximise the benefits of research for the community. In addition to funding the basic research infrastructure through block grants, the University Grants Committee (UGC) provided earmarked grants for research through the Research Grants Council (RGC) and awards for competitive bids. The amount received for 2013–14 through General Research Funds and other UGC/RGC funding schemes was $93 million. The University also received other research funds of $112 million from governmentrelated organisations and commercial sector and private donors during the year. Tuition and Other Fees Tuition and other fees from students came to $1,800 million, an increase of $34 million and $78 million from UGC-funded programmes and self-financing programmes, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in tuition fees for non-local students for self-financing programmes and an increase in senior-year intakes and students studying self-financing programmes. As the main purpose of offering self-financing programmes is to meet community and societal needs, the University will continue to promote its mature and robust quality assurance system to ensure that all self-financing programmes are of the same rigorous standards as the UGC-funded programmes.

政府撥款 2013–14年度的政府撥款共20億5,300萬元。政府撥款包括整體撥款、特定撥款、基本工程撥款以及其他政府機構撥款，較 2012–13年度的20億2,600萬元增加2,700萬元。整體撥款及補助撥款增加7,800萬元，主要是由於增加高年級收生學額和因應三年撥款期的薪酬調整而增加的撥款。不過與去年相比，配對補助金減少7,200萬元，因此抵銷了整體撥款的增加。由於去年幾個重要建築工程項目已完工，基本工程和改建、加建、維修及改善工程的整體撥款減少900萬元。2013–14年度來自其他政府機構的撥款為8,300萬元，增加了2,700萬元。城大致力在不同學科領域取得傑出科研成果，為社會謀取最大福祉。大學教育資助委員會（教資會）除提供整體撥款資助基本研究設施外，也透過研究資助局（研資局）提供特定撥款及角逐撥款資助研究。大學在2013–14年度獲優配研究金及其他教資會 ╱ 研資局撥款9,300萬元，並從其他政府機構、商界、個人捐款獲得1億1,200萬元研究資助金。學費及其他收費年內的學費及其他收費為18億元，其中教資會資助課程較去年增加3,400萬元，而自資營運課程則增加7,800萬元。收入增加主要是因為修讀自資營運課程之非本地學生的學費上升，同時高年級收生學額及修讀自資營運課程的學生人數均有所增加。大學開辦自資營運課程的主要目的是配合社區及社會需要，因此將繼續推行及加強其完善嚴謹的質素保證制度，務求使所有自資營運課程的質素與教資會資助課程的水平一致。

司庫報告

Donations and Benefactions Donations and benefactions received during the year amounted to $106 million, a reduction of $26 million as compared with last year. The reduction was due to additional donations received during the earlier stage of the commencement of the Sixth Matching Grant Scheme on 1 August 2012. The Sixth Matching Grant Scheme ended on 31 July 2014 and the University secured about $184 million matched donations and $114 million matching grants. The University is thankful to all donors for their generous financial support. The amount raised will be used to support University development and strategic initiatives, research and departmental functions, as well as student learning.

Expenditure Consolidated expenditure totaled $4,183 million in 2013–14, an increase of $195 million, representing a 5% increase on last year of $3,988 million. During the year, the Group spent $2,937 million, about 70% of total consolidated expenditure, on instruction and research, the library, central computing facilities and other academic services in support of award-bearing programmes and a series of innovative teaching and learning projects implemented at the University to enable students to have a chance to make an original discovery by learning to create, cultivate, curate and communicate new knowledge for the benefit of the community. Expenditure on research projects and studentships in 2013–14 was $443 million, compared with $387 million for 2012–13. Institutional support increased to $1,246 million compared with the previous year’s $1,205 million, and accounted for about 30% of total expenditure in 2013–14. During the year under review, the University continued to support a wide range of initiatives such as student exchanges and learning activities that will prepare students for their professional careers. Of the total institutional support expenses, $337 million was spent on management and general, $658 million for premises and related expenses and $251 million for student and general education services and others. The expenditure on premises and related expenses has stayed at the same level of expenditure as compared with 2012–13, mainly due to effective cost control to offset the rise in operating costs for maintenance, utilities and logistic support.

捐款及捐助年內的捐款及捐助為1億600萬元，較去年減少2,600萬元，主要是由於2012年8月1日展開第六輪配對補助金計劃的早期收到了額外捐款。第六輪配對補助金計劃已於2014年7月31日結束，大學獲得的配對捐款約為1億8,400萬元，配對補助金約為 1億1,400萬元。大學感謝所有捐款人的慷慨捐助，所得捐款將用作支持大學發展及推行策略性舉措、科研和學系部門工作以及教學。

開支 2013–14年度的綜合開支總額為41億8,300萬元，較去年的39億 8,800萬元增加5%，即1億9,500萬元。年內約70%的大學整體總綜合開支，即29億3,700萬元，用於教學及研究、圖書館、中央電腦設施及其他教學服務，以支援大學開辦的課程及施行的多項創新教學計劃，令學生在求學期間有機會體驗原創性質的探索，學習如何創造新知識，如何交流、展示新知識，然後加以改進，造福社會。2013–14年度的研究開支及助學金開支合共4億4,300萬元，2012–13年度則為3億8,700萬元。相較去年的12億500萬元，教學支援的開支增加至12億 4,600萬元，佔2013–14年度總開支約30%。大學年內繼續撥款支援多方面的舉措，例如推行交換生計劃及學習活動等，培訓學生為未來的專業事業發展作好準備。教學支援開支中，管理及一般項目開支為3億3,700萬元，校舍及有關開支為6億 5,800萬元及學生及教育服務和其他開支為2億5,100萬元。校舍及有關開支與2012–13年度相若，主要是透過良好的成本控制措施以抵銷維修保養、公用開支、物流支援等營運成本的上升。

Staff members are the major resource of the University. Staffing costs represented 63% of the consolidated expenditure, an increase of $119 million from the previous year to $2,629 million. The increase in staffing costs was mainly due to the salary adjustment under the Performance-based Pay Review (PBPR) Scheme. The remaining $1,166 million and $387 million were spent on operating expenses and depreciation and others, respectively.

員工是大學的重要資源。員工薪酬及福利開支佔綜合開支總額的63%，達26億2,900萬元，較去年增加1億1,900萬元，主要用於根據「績效獎勵計劃」而作出的薪酬調整。其他開支包括 11億6,600萬元用於營運開支，3億8,700萬元用於折舊及其他項目。

Capital Programmes

基本工程項目

Over the past 30 years, the University’s physical structure has undergone a dramatic transformation with the addition of new buildings and facilities. The University opened Academic 3 on campus, which together with Academic 2 and the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre, has greatly strengthened our identity and enhanced our image as a modern university. Though there was an increase in new space to support our teaching and research activities, the University will continue to improve space efficiency and energy saving to achieve long-term savings for the University.

建校30年來，大學新建了多幢大樓，增添了很多新設施，校園面貌發生巨大變化。學術樓（三）已正式啟用，連同學術樓（二）及邵逸夫創意媒體中心，三幢大樓大大加強了大學師生員工對大學的認同感，提升了大學作為一所現代大學的形象。儘管新建築物為校園增加空間，為教學及研究活動提供了良好的環境，大學將繼續善用空間，提倡節能，以求達致長期節省成本的目的。

In 2013–14, the University received government subventions worth $96 million for capital building projects and AA&I works. The capital project management has been strengthened to ensure capital projects are completed in a timely, efficient and cost-effective manner.

Investment Return The University has benefitted from the market rise and recorded an interest and net investment return of $509 million, i.e. about a 9% return. Under the persistence of the extremely low interest-rate environment, the interest and dividends received during the year was $156 million. Measured over a longer period, the University has been able to achieve a healthy investment and interest income at about 4% to 5% to supplement the funding of daily operations and the long-term development of the University. Looking to the future, the University is committed to pursuing a prudent and longterm approach to maintain a steady source of income. The current outlook for the global economy is relatively unsettled, and it is vital that we keep a watchful eye over all of our investment funds.

大學於2013–14年度獲政府撥款9,600萬元，進行基本工程及其他改建、加建及改善工程項目。大學加強了工程項目的管理，以確保基本工程項目可以高效率下準時完成，並能以最低成本取得最佳成果。

投資回報得益於市況好轉，大學錄得5億900萬元利息及淨投資回報，亦即約9%的回報率。由於市場利率持續處於極低水平，年內所得的利息及股息為1億5,600萬元。按過去較長期的表現衡量，大學能夠在投資方面取得約4%到5%的穩健回報和利息收入，用以補助日常營運開支及支持長遠發展。放眼未來，大學將繼續努力秉持審慎及著眼長期的投資方針，以確保得到穩定收入。全球經濟前景迄今尚不明朗，我們將繼續小心監管大學所有投資基金，此舉至關重要。

Going Forward

前瞻

Over the course of the last year, CityU has successfully managed to lend the necessary support to a number of progressive academic programmes, new facilities and strategic initiatives while at the same time guaranteeing that our fiscal environment remains stable. To sustain the momentum of the University’s development, we are committed to the delivery of long-term resources needed by our colleges/schools, to our overall infrastructure, and of course to our students. Our overall objective is to boost our national and international reputation as a higher education institution dedicated to excellence in teaching, learning and research.

在2013–14年度，大學成功地為多項進階學術課程、新設施及重大舉措提供必需的支援，同時保持穩健的財務狀況。為持續推動大學的發展，我們將致力為學院、整體基建、學生提供長期資源。我們的整體目標是提升大學作為高等教育機構在國內及國際上的聲譽，展示大學追求卓越教學及研究的決心。

As this is our 30th anniversary year, we have had time to reflect on the University’s immense achievements in professional education and research. We are now topranked in several surveys of global and regional universities, an achievement made possible by our pioneering work in curriculum development, which resulted in the creation of the Discovery-enriched Curriculum, and by our commitment to integrating teaching and research within our academic programmes.

今年是大學創校30周年，我們可以藉此機會回顧大學在專業教育及研究領域取得的傑出成就。大學在數個世界及亞太區的大學排名榜上均位居前列，這些成就源於大學率先推動課程改革，創設「重探索求創新課程」，致力在課程中做到教研合一。我們來年的目標是繼續為達成學術願景而努力，並確保以負責任和可持續的財務方針營運大學。我們亦務求在校務管治方面與時共進，使財務管理成效更高、更加開放，效率更好。

Over the next 12 months, we will continue to pursue our academic vision, making sure that the University operates in a financially accountable and sustainable manner. We will also keep up-to-date about developments in governance issues in order to ensure more effective, open and efficient operations.

Symbols are powerful means for communication. We use them as rallying points where we promote and celebrate our achievements. On our campus, one iconic symbol stands out. It has come to represent the core academic values we hold dear as a modern, international university, and it is now receiving world-wide recognition. In 2014, a German-based architectural data company selected the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre (CMC) as one of the most spectacular university buildings in the world, aligning us with equally captivating buildings at universities in Europe and North America, one of only two representatives from Asia.

校園建築物具有豐富的象徵意義，是與外界交流的有力工具。我們將其作為凝聚點，藉此宣揚和慶祝大學的成就。城大校園中的邵逸夫創意媒體中心就是這樣一座引人注目的標誌性建築。它代表了城大作為一所現代化國際大學所珍視的重要學術價值。創意媒體中心現已揚名國際，2014年，德國一家建築數據公司評選該中心為世界十大最奪目的大學建築之一，足以媲美歐洲、北美一些大學引人注目的建築。亞洲僅有兩所學府獲此殊榮，城大是其中之一。

30th anniversary

三十周年慶典

2014 will always be a special year for CityU because it marks our 30th anniversary. A suitably grand kick-off ceremony in January 2014 began a year-long series of exciting celebration events organised by our students, alumni, and the campus community. The joint concert held in April 2014 by the CityU Philharmonic Orchestra, CityU Chinese Orchestra and the CityU Choir was one of the signature events. The joint concert exemplified the hopes, dreams and passions of our students and alumni, and the audience was deeply touched by the theme song “Embrace Our Dreams”, especially written for this memorable occasion.

對城大而言，2014年將永遠是特別的一年，因為這一年是城大建校30周年。2014年1月，城大舉行了簡單而隆重的校慶活動啟動典禮，為紀念校慶的全年慶祝活動揭開序幕。活動均由城大的師生員工及校友操辦。2014年4月舉辦的城大管弦樂團、中樂團、合唱團聯合音樂會是校慶重點活動之一，恰如其分地表達了城大學生及校友對母校的希望、夢想和熱情。主題曲《讓夢想飛翔》是專為音樂會譜寫的作品，深深感動了在場的聽眾。

Such events unify our hearts and minds, propelling us to move forward, while sharing our successes and joy.

校慶活動令城大全體同人在分享成功與喜悅之餘，更加團結一心，推動我校向前邁進。

Antarctica expedition

南極探索之旅

No other university in Hong Kong has undertaken such a pioneering project as CityU’s expedition to Antarctica. Twenty-three students from different disciplines travelled to this pristine corner of the planet to collect scientific data related to the environment which they transformed into creative works of media art upon their return to Hong Kong. The results were amazing: the 13 installations on view at “Freeze Frame” in May 2014 revealed how skillfully and aesthetically the students had used the data to create intriguing and powerfully voiced interpretations, all of which revealed new perspectives into Antarctica. It is a very good example of CityU’s promotion of interdisciplinarity to address today’s increasingly complex global issues.

城大的南極探索之旅，是首次由本地大學主辦的極地探索活動。二十三名來自各院系的本科生遠赴地球的原始角落，採集有關環境的科學數據，返港之後製成別出心裁的媒體藝術作品。在2014年5月，城大舉辦名為「凝靜之境」的南極探索之旅展覽，展出13件裝置藝術品。學生運用收集的數據，巧妙構思，創作出引人入勝的作品，從嶄新的角度有力地闡釋了南極大陸的生態環境。南極之旅的成功，正是城大近年推行跨學科研究以解決當今日益複雜的全球問題的出色範例。

Research funding Innovations and creative thinking are cornerstones to the research successes that CityU enjoyed over the past year. The strong performance of our academics in competing for external research funding reflected their intellectual prowess and outstanding scholarship. Over the last year they attracted record amounts of funding from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and a significant increase in the number of grants, and total amount, from the Research Grants Council (RGC). Their success reflected CityU’s strong commitment to knowledge transmission, creation and application as a modern university of the 21st century.

New capabilities The CityU campus is undergoing significant transformation, with the completion of three iconic buildings, supported by state-of-the-art facilities, to create a modern, vibrant, international university. Academic 2 has now doubled student interactive learning and socialisation space. The new Senate Room on the top floor of Academic 3 reflects the high status we accord to the Senate as the highest body responsible for academic matters at CityU.

研究資助大幅增長城大去年獲得豐碩的研究成果，創新與創意是這些成果的基石。城大學者在競逐校外研究資助中表現出色，顯示了他們的出眾才能與傑出的學術成就。過去一年，城大獲得的國家自然科學基金資助額創下歷年之冠，此外，獲研究資助局的資助數量及總額亦出現大幅增長。以上優秀成績反映了作為 21世紀現代化大學的城大，一直不遺餘力地傳遞、創造和應用知識。

校園設施日臻完善城大在三幢標誌性的新大樓落成並啟用後，校園面貌因而煥然一新。這些建築物均配備了先進的設施，有助城大發展成為充滿活力的現代化國際大學。學術樓（二）正式啟用之後，供學生互動學習及社交的空間增加了一倍。另外，城大將全新的教務會會議廳設於學術樓（三）頂層，彰顯了教務會是大學各項學術事務的最高決策機構。

Top teachers

優秀教師獲傑出教學獎

At CityU, we emphasise the close integration of teaching and research in our professional education. We were all very proud when one of our faculty was selected for the Award for Teaching Excellence by the University Grants Committee for applying her research and experience to her student-centred experiential teaching. Dr Alice Chong Ming-lin of the Department of Applied Social Sciences is the second scholar from CityU to win this top teaching honour, which is also recognition for the University’s high quality education.

Top scholars The discovery of new knowledge to benefit society through first-rate scholarship is as important as high quality teaching to nurture talents. CityU was very pleased to see some of our finest researchers receiving prestigious national and international awards that they so thoroughly deserved. It was especially gratifying to see young faculty members getting their research contributions published in top-ranked journals such as Nature, and our more senior scholars getting global recognition for their work in vital areas of research such as memory formation and the use of intelligent clothing to monitor heart conditions as well as work in more esoteric areas such as creating super-dry surfaces for various technologies.

的聲學中心。這些合作為城大學生提供寶貴的機會親手做實驗，為他們的就業做出更佳準備，提升了他們的就業能力。

城大在專業教育中注重推行教研合一。應用社會科學系副教授莊明蓮博士獲大學教育資助委員會頒予傑出教學獎，以表彰其將研究成果及經驗充分應用於教學，採取以學生為本的「體驗式教學法」，取得卓越教學成就。對此，我們感到十分自豪。莊博士是城大第二位獲得這項榮譽的教師，這項榮譽也是對我校優質教育的肯定。

傑出學者獲學術嘉獎發現新知識，應用精深學問以造福社會，與提供優質教學以培育英才同樣重要。我們很高興見到，城大一批實至名歸的傑出學者在國內及國際榮獲各種學術獎項。尤其令人欣喜的是，城大青年學者多次在《自然》等知名學術期刊上發表論文，而其他城大資深學人的成就亦在多個重要研究領域獲得國際公認，其中包括查明記憶形成過程；研發監測及記錄病人心臟狀況的智能心電緊身衣；及研製具有廣泛技術用途、疏水性能超佳的材料表面。

Discovery and innovation

不斷探索創新

At CityU, we provide a platform to excel in discovery and innovation, not only for faculty members, but also for our students. Our Discovery-enriched Curriculum is designed to offer opportunities and experiences for students to take risks and explore the unknown, to discover, innovate or create something in their field of study that is new or original as an exciting part of their learning process. We were excited that at the 2014 CityU Discovery Festival, there were so many creative student projects that applied classroom knowledge to address real-world problems. Among these were two smart prototype devices aimed at helping people with visual impairments. One item was a pair of smart navigation glasses that relays information via a video camera, GPS system, voice device, and glasses connected to an app on the wearer’s smart phone. The other was a smart walking stick that helps people with visual impairments take buses. Users can communicate with the bus driver via the walking stick while they are waiting for a bus.

在城大，我們不僅為教研人員、同時也為學生提供促進創新發現的場地。城大推行「重探索求創新」課程，旨在為學生提供承擔風險和探索未知事物的機會和親身體驗，並鼓勵他們在自己的學科領域內有所發現、創新和創造，使這些成為他們求學生涯中的一個組成部分。學生應用課堂上所學的知識解決實際問題，取得令人振奮的成果，「2014城大探索創新節」上展出的眾多創意作品就是明證。其中有兩件幫助失明或視障人士的智能工具尤為值得注意：一件是智能導航眼鏡，配有攝錄鏡頭、定位導航儀及耳筒，並與佩戴者的智能電話應用程式互相連接；另一件是智能乘車手杖，可以幫助候車的失明或視障人士與巴士司機聯絡。

We are excited by the emergence of a culture of Discovery and Innovation on our campus. CityU is committed to serving society and improving the quality of life through knowledge and the pursuit of excellence. We will continue to strengthen institutional support for knowledge creation and transfer, and enhance service learning, community engagement and entrepreneurship training for our students, to fulfill our goal of excellence in research and professional education.

Way Kuo President and University Distinguished Professor

城大校園的「重探索求創新」文化氛圍日益濃厚，對此我們深感欣慰。城大致力於創造知識，不懈追求教研優異，以此服務社會，改善生活質素。我們會繼續大力支持知識創造及轉移，提升學生的服務學習、社區參與及培養他們的企業家精神，實現研究卓越、專業教育出眾的目標。

探索創新節

Our annual Discovery Festival showcases the University’s strengths in discovery and innovation, and promotes teaching excellence. This three-week-long festival, held over February and March 2014, displayed some of the most exciting teaching and learning outcomes originating from the DEC, allowing teachers and students to share their experiences and discoveries. The festival aimed to position discovery, innovation and creativity at the forefront of all our courses, ensuring that our students will not only learn from what they study in class, but also that they are equipped with the ability to think critically and independently and to write, reason, and communicate clearly, encouraging them to explore, gain new knowledge, and contribute to society.

城大每年均舉辦「探索創新節」，展示大學推行探索與創新的實力，以此促進專業教學質素的提升。「2014城大探索創新節」在2月至3月舉行，為期三周，展示了城大獨特的「重探索求創新課程」的卓越教學成果，並邀請師生講述自己的經驗、體會和新發現。「探索創新節」旨在將探索、創新、創造放在所有科目的首位，務求使學生不但在課堂上學到知識，同時亦培養他們獨立思考的能力，能夠通曉寫作、理性思考、善於溝通，並鼓勵學生不斷探索、求取新知，從而對社會有所貢獻。

New learning centre

致力於提供優質專業教育是大學的長遠發展方向之一，城大與清華大學簽訂合作備忘錄，設立國家企業信息化應用支撐軟件工程技術研究中心香港分中心，正是向這個目標邁進的一大步，這個中心將大大加強我們在工程技術廣泛領域的實力。

In keeping with our overall strategic direction to develop our professional education offerings, the establishment of the Hong Kong Branch of the Chinese National Engineering Research Centre on Enterprise Informatisation Software took a step closer to becoming a reality with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Tsinghua University. The centre will greatly strengthen the broad area of engineering at CityU.

The Library remains the most important learning space on campus, unrivalled for its access to print, visual and electronic information. Three major events served to boost its contents. In August 2013, a collection of old Chinese land deeds and family papers was donated by the renowned economist Professor Gregory C. Chow, Emeritus Professor of Economics at Princeton University and Honorary Professor of CityU. The donation of more than 200 papers has greatly expanded the Library’s existing land deeds collection, and provides historical economic data about China, particularly on Guangdong and Hong Kong.

城大邵逸夫圖書館擁有品類繁多的印刷出版物、錄影資料與電子資料，以供查閱，一直是校內最重要的學習場所。過去一年，圖書館獲得三次重要捐贈，館藏更加豐富。2013年 8月，圖書館獲得國際著名經濟學家鄒至莊教授捐贈的中國古地契及家族文件。鄒教授是普林斯頓大學的經濟學榮休教授，也是城大的榮譽教授，他的捐贈不僅擴充了城大圖書館現有的地契收藏品，由此增添的資料更可用於研究中國經濟，尤其是廣東與香港的經濟。

Another Library donation, six months later, saw literary material from the archives of the highly respected Today Literary Magazine, which is published on the mainland. Donated by chief editor Professor Bei Dao, the gift has expanded the Library’s collections, and at the same time provided an important source of research for modern Chinese poetry.

六個月之後，城大圖書館又獲得創辦於中國內地的著名刊物《今天文學雜誌》的主編北島教授捐贈的《今天文學雜誌檔案》文獻，不僅擴展了圖書館的收藏，更是研究中國當代詩歌的重要資料。

The Chinese Visual Communication Archives set up by CityU’s Department of Media and Communication will serve as a treasure trove for the teaching and learning of Chinese documentaries. Donated in April 2014, the video documentaries comprise around 20,000 minutes of material spanning the centuries from the late Qing through to the Republic of China and the present day.

2014年4月，城大獲贈總放映時間長達兩萬多分鐘的影視紀錄片素材，記錄的年代從晚清、民國直至當代。城大媒體與傳播系以此為基礎，設立「華語影視傳播典藏」，將為華語紀錄片的教學與研究創立巨大的資料寶庫。

Recognising quality teaching

表彰優質教學

High-quality teaching is the power behind the success of our DEC. Without highly professional teachers, our academic programmes would not succeed. The Teaching Excellence Awards in March 2014 honoured three exceptional scholars for their work in the classroom: Dr Elaine Au Liu Suk-ching, Associate Professor in the Department of Applied Social Sciences, and Assistant Head; Mr Scott Hessels, Associate Professor in the School of Creative Media (SCM); and Dr Samson Young Kar-fai, Assistant Professor, also of SCM.

優質教學是支持「重探索求創新課程」獲得成功的力量。沒有十分專業的教員，城大的學術課程不會取得成功。2014年3 月，城大向三位模範教師頒授2013–14年度傑出教學獎，以表彰他們的出色教學成果。三位得獎者是：應用社會科學系副教授兼助理系主任區廖淑貞博士、創意媒體學院副教授Scott Hessels先生、創意媒體學院助理教授楊嘉輝博士。

Our teaching expertise caught the attention of the external reviewers, too, when Dr Alice Chong Ming-lin, Associate Professor from the Department of Applied Social Sciences, was given the Award for Teaching Excellence by the University Grants Committee (UGC) in September 2013. This was the second year running that a CityU teacher had won the UGC award.

城大的傑出教學亦得到校外教育機構的肯定。2013年9月，大學教育資助委員會向應用社會科學系副教授莊明蓮博士頒授傑出教學獎。城大已連續第二年有教師獲此殊榮。

The CityU team trekked to Antarctica on an art and science research expedition. 城大學生組團前往南極從事藝術和科學研究。

Antarctica expedition

南極探險之旅

The most exciting project that CityU presented to the world this year was perhaps the trip to Antarctica in which more than 20 interdisciplinary students journeyed to the southernmost corner of the planet on an art and science research expedition to find new ways to understand climate change. They transformed the data that was collected during the project into new forms of media artworks.

南極探險之旅堪稱是城大本年度最令世人矚目的項目。逾20 名來自多個院系的本科生啟程遠赴地球最南端，採集有關環境的科學數據，以新視角觀察、了解環境與氣候的變化，並利用在當地蒐集的數據製成新媒體藝術作品。

Showcased at “Freeze Frame” in May 2014, the 13 installations, which span the academic spectrum, used emerging technologies such as immersive 3D, robotics and game applications to show the endangered continent from a new perspective. Even the emails sent by the students during the expedition were included in the exhibition, interpreted by LED displays in the Run Run Shaw Creative Media Centre. The expedition was part of the Extreme Environments programme which began in 2012 with an expedition to the Mojave Desert in California that also sought to merge artistic expression with science.

2014年5月，城大在邵逸夫創意媒體中心舉辦題為「凝靜之景」的南極之旅科學藝術作品展覽，展出了13件裝置藝術品。學生在製作過程中運用沉浸式立體、自動機械、遊戲應用程式等新科技，力求以跨學科的新視角展示南極大陸備受氣候惡化破壞的現況。在大樓的LED屏幕也是一件展品，展現學生發送的電郵。城大早在2012年即開始推行「極地環境」計劃，組織師生前往美國加州莫哈韋沙漠探索，將藝術創作與科學融合。

Promoting scholarship through lectures

傑出講座促進學術交流

Dating back to the ancient Greeks, the lecture remains one of the most effective tools for transmitting information, encouraging dialogue between professors of renown and students, bringing the latest research results to interested parties, and allowing CityU colleagues to share information about their work with each other.

演講的歷史可追溯到古希臘時代，至今仍是傳播信息、促進著名學者與學生對話的最有效工具之一，可將最新的研究成果帶給相關各方，亦幫助城大的同事互相交流教研資訊。

The City University Distinguished Lecture Series covered a great deal of intellectual ground over the past year. Talks covered, among many other topics, new infectious diseases, breakthroughs in nanotechnology, the roles of higher education in innovation and globalisation, the cultural dynamics of ageing, “virtuous rule” in the 21st century, the development and prospects of the oil and gas industries in mainland China, the global network of supply chains, international relations in East Asia, the world economy, the history of the development of glassy alloys, and Chinese-style democracy.

過去一年，「城大傑出講座系列」的多場演講，涵蓋了廣泛的知識領域及多個議題，其中包括：新型傳染病、納米技術的重大進展、創新及國際化中的高等教育之職能、老齡化社會的文化動力、二十一世紀的王道、中國石油天然氣的發展與前景展望、全球供應鏈的網絡、東亞區域的國際關係、全球經濟的走向、玻璃合金的發展歷史，及具有中華文化特色的民主政治。

The President’s Lecture Series: Excellence in Academia saw several of CityU’s top academics share their research with faculty and students from different academic backgrounds. Professor Johnny Chan Chung-leung, Dean of the School of Energy and Environment, argued in his talk “Global Warming: Natural or Human-induced?” in March 2014 that global warming was enhanced by human activities and that we must do everything we can to slow it down. In January 2014, Professor Philip J. Ivanhoe, Chair Professor of East Asian and Comparative Philosophy and Religion in the Department of Public Policy, and Director of the Centre for East Asian and Comparative Philosophy, stated that the Confucian tradition teaches us important lessons about the music in and of our lives, in a talk titled “The Contemporary Significance of Confucian Views about the Ethical Values of Music”. Professor Nozer Singpurwalla, Chair Professor of Risk Analysis and Management, delivered a talk in November 2013 titled “A Conversational Overview of Subjective Probability: its Meaning, Content, Axioms, and Acrobatics”, which offered an appreciation of the philosophical and mathematical underpinnings of quantifying uncertainty.

Professor Johnny Chan Chung-leung 陳仲良教授

另外，幾位城大知名學者主持「校長講座系列：學術薈萃」，向學術背景各異的師生介紹他們的研究近況。能源及環境學院院長陳仲良教授2014年3月在題為「全球氣候變暖：自然現象或人類之過？」的演講中指出，人類活動加劇了全球氣候的變暖，我們必須盡力設法減緩這一趨勢；2014年1月，東亞哲學與宗教及比較哲學與宗教講座教授兼東亞哲學及比較哲學研究中心主任艾文賀教授發表演講，題為「儒家樂教思想在當代的重要意義」。他認為，音樂源於生活、關於生活，儒家的傳統樂教對當今時代依然具有重要意義。風險分析及管理科學講座教授Nozer Singpurwalla教授在2013年 11月發表演講，題為「漫談主觀概率論：含義、內容、公理、技巧」，提出要深入理解對不確定性加以量化的哲學依據及數學依據。

Professor Anne Cheng 程艾藍教授

In October 2013, Professor Liu Chain-tsuan, University Distinguished Professor, discussed the history of the relationship between materials, technology and civilisation. The France–Hong Kong Distinguished Lecture Series, established in 2005 by Professor Philippe Ciarlet, University Distinguished Professor in the College of Science and Engineering, continues to forge special relations between CityU, Hong Kong and France. The CityU community was treated to three talks by highly distinguished French academics. In June 2014, Professor Yves Bréchet, High Commissioner for Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies, France, delivered an historical overview of the evolution of materials; in November 2013, Professor Jean-François Bach spoke about the causes of autoimmune and allergic diseases; and in October 2013, Professor Anne Cheng, Professor and Chair in Intellectual History of China at the Collège de France, discussed how the changing perceptions of Confucianism in the 20th century have reshaped our notions of modernity.

2013年10月，大學傑出教授劉錦川教授在演講中回溯千百年來材料、科技與人類社會之間的關係。由科學及工程學院的大學傑出教授菲立普 • 希阿雷教授於2005 年提議開設的「法國－香港傑出講座系列」，繼續為促進城大、香港與法國之間的特別關係作出貢獻，使大學師生職員有幸聆聽了三位法國傑出學者主持的講座。 2014年6月，法國原子能總署高級專員Yves Bréchet教授發表演講，深入探討材料科學的發展歷程；2013年11月，法國自然科學院常任秘書Jean-François Bach教授在講座中介紹自身免疫疾病與過敏症的成因；2013年10月，法蘭西學院中國思想史講座教授程艾藍教授在演講中論述世人對儒學的理解在20世紀如何演變，而這種演變又如何改造了我們關於現代化的觀念。

Establishing a research base

創立科研基地

Partners across the region are an integral part of CityU’s strategic development. Shuangliu County in the southern part of Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan, ranks first in terms of economic strength in Sichuan Province. The agreement struck between CityU and the Shuangliu Government in Chengdu in August 2013 is an important step towards enhancing our presence in mainland China. Under the agreement, the Shuangliu Government will provide land and will construct a building for the CityU Chengdu Research Institute (CityUCRI).

積極在內地尋找合作夥伴是城大策略發展的重要一環。2013 年8月，城大與成都市雙流縣政府簽訂協議，雙方合作設立香港城市大學成都研究院。成都市是四川省的省會，亦是中國西部的經濟重鎮，雙流縣位於成都市南部。研究院有助於提高城大在內地的聲譽和影響。根據合作協議，雙流縣政府將提供建築用地，並建造一座大樓，以供設立香港城市大學成都研究院。

CityUCRI is the University’s second strategic platform in China for research and development, incubation and innovation, and professional education and training.

該研究院是城大在內地創辦的第二個長期科研協作基地，將注重研究與開發，從事產業孕育與技術創新，並提供專業教育與培訓。

Listening to the future The future begins with new initiatives that embrace fresh ideas and give faculty and students the opportunity to collaborate upon and expand their innovations. One such initiative was the CityU-KEF Acoustics Centre, established by CityU and the Gold Peak Group in October 2013, which is providing students with a well-equipped learning environment for the use, production, monitoring and manipulation of sound for a variety of purposes and spaces. The applications include the design of loudspeakers and amplifiers, the exploration of 3D sound technology and the analysis of AV room design.

成立聲學中心城大施行多項富有創意的新舉措，使師生有機會合作以拓展創思，幫助學生為未來作好準備。其中一項是2013年10月城大與金山工業集團旗下的著名揚聲器品牌KEF聯合成立的先進聲學中心。聲學中心為學生提供設備完善的教學環境，以配合各種需求及因應各類空間環境，學習製作、使用、監察及調控聲學產品。學生還可在中心從事各項專題研究，包括揚聲器與擴音器的設計、3D音響技術的探索，以及對視聽室的設計做分析等。

Robotics technology: A fascinating piece of robotics research was promoted to the public in May 2014, with a great deal of promise for the future treatment of blood diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia. The project was created by Professor Sun Dong, Chair Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, with funding of around HK$6 million from the Research Grants Council. The system can be used to probe the functional mechanism of hematopoietic cells, which can foster the development of treatment for blood diseases. Surveys: Several projects in the form of surveys brought to light interesting findings in a number of areas of enquiry.  In January 2014, researchers announced that around 16% of children in Hong Kong have anxiety levels that are above the normal cut-off and slightly higher than the percentage reported in studies in other countries. The study also found that parenting styles affect children’s anxiety levels, suggesting that parents should nurture children’s character strengths in order to decrease their chances of developing anxiety symptoms in the future.

Professor Sun Dong 孫東教授

機械人技術： 2014年5月，城大向公眾推廣一項非常實用的機械人技術成果。該技術用途廣泛，有望用於治療急性白血病等血液病。這項研究計劃由機械及生物醫學工程學系講座教授孫東教授主持，獲研究資助局近600萬港元撥款，用以資助對造血細胞微操作的研究，有助改進急性白血病等血液病的治療方法。社會調查：城大數個調查方式的研究項目在幾個方面獲得引人注目的調查結果。  城大在2014年1月的一項調查中發現，香港有一成六幼兒的焦慮程度高於正常水平，比海外同齡兒童略高，而父母的管教方法對幼兒的焦慮程度有重大影響。研究建議，父母應從小為幼兒培養性格優點，以減低孩子患上焦慮症的風險。

 In November 2013, a CityU survey in collaboration with the University of Bristol, UK, revealed that 21% of people and 27% of children in Hong Kong were living in poverty. The survey was built on a new measure for analysing poverty and deprivation developed by Dr Maggie Lau Ka-wai, Assistant Professor in the Department of Public Policy at CityU, and two scholars from the School for Policy Studies at the University of Bristol.  In August 2013, around 300 CityU students participated in a city-wide homeless street count through the Homeless Outreach Population Estimation (HOPE Hong Kong 2013). The aim was for community organisations to use the accurate, up-to-date data provided by the street count to call for more useful resources. One of the findings was that a lack of affordable housing was a major reason for homelessness. Health: One of the most important areas that CityU contributes to is health, and one of the most important pieces of research announced during the year involved the use of smart clothing that remotely monitors the heart conditions of patients. The technology was developed by Dr Raymond Lam Hiu-wai, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering.

Another major challenge in health is that implanting artificial bones or teeth into human bodies may cause infection after surgery. But in March 2014, Professor Paul Chu Kim-ho, Chair Professor in the Department of Physics and Materials Science, showed that injecting antibacterial silver ions into the artificial parts for implantation with plasma technology can kill Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), as well as two types of bacteria that cause periodontal disease. In addition, the release of silver ions can be controlled to prevent health problems for patients. Another major breakthrough was revealed by Professor He Jufang of the Department of Biomedical Sciences in February 2014. He and his team have identified the neuromodulator which plays a crucial role in memory formation. The neuromodulator is called cholecystokinin, which enables memory writing in the neocortex with very high efficiency. The research may help develop drugs that can alleviate or even reverse the memory loss process caused by ageing or forms of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease. Pan-Chinese new word rosters: Society moves on and develops, and language reflects those changes. As in previous years, some new words for 2013 signified new cultural phenomena. The term “bitcoin” was the most popular new word used by the media in the Pan-Chinese region, while “Occupy Central” was the hottest new word in Hong Kong, according to the 2013 LIVAC Pan-Chinese New Word Rosters released by CityU researchers. The new Chinese words in the 2013 Rosters come from a wide spectrum of domains including politics, economics, science and daily life. It was also found that the top three places on this year’s Annual LIVAC Pan-Chinese Celebrity Roster were taken by political figures: President Xi Jinping of mainland China; US President Barack Obama; and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, indicating that political issues were dominating media coverage in Beijing, Taipei and Hong Kong.

Knowledge/technology exchange

知識及技術轉移

Knowledge developed and then left in the lab will not benefit society, which is why knowledge transfer is so important. In April 2014, 20 innovative projects showcased CityU’s strengths in cutting-edge research at the International ICT Expo 2014, and also attracted interest from potential partners for technology transfer. The projects range from wireless communications, biomedical science, power electronics, multimedia, optoelectronics and telecommunications, consumer electronics, neural control technology to mobile applications. Each project is a great example of application-oriented research conducted by CityU in response to the needs of society.

知識開發之後若留在實驗室內，就無法造福社會，因此知識轉移非常重要。城大2014年4月參加「國際資訊科技博覽會」，展出了20項創新科技項目，展示城大尖端研究領域的實力，多個合作夥伴都表示對技術轉移有興趣。這些創新科技包括無線通信、生物科學、電力電子、多媒體、光電、電信、消費類電子產品、神經網絡控制技術、移動應用程序等。每個項目都是城大注重應用導向型研究以切合社會之需的範例。

Likewise, InnoCarnival 2013, the flagship event of InnoTech Month 2013 organised by the Innovation and Technology Commission of the Hong Kong Government, provided a great opportunity to showcase groundbreaking technologies developed by CityU researchers. The aim of the event was to enhance public understanding of, and interest in, innovation and technology, particularly among the younger generation.

城大亦藉著參加「創新科技嘉年華2013」的機會，展出研究人員研發的科技作品，設計新穎且趣味盎然，大受觀眾歡迎。「創新科技嘉年華2013」在香港科學園舉行，是創新科技署主辦的「創新科技月」的重要活動，旨在提升市民 — 尤其是年輕一代 — 對創新科技的認識及興趣。

Establishing links

加強地區性合作

Greater China is a major focal point for CityU’s continued strategic direction. In June 2014, CityU signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with South University of Science and Technology of China to forge closer ties in the areas of PhD student supervision, research projects, exchange of researchers and sharing of research results.

兩岸四地依然是城大長遠發展方向的重點所在。2014年6月，城大與深圳的南方科技大學簽署學術合作備忘錄，加強雙方合作，包括聯合培養博士研究生、交換學者及研究人員，以及合作研究、共享研究成果等。

Similarly, an MOU was signed in November 2013 with Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology, an extension of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, for collaborations in jointly setting up research centres, applying for grants, supervising PhDs, knowledge transfer and sharing resources in the areas of new energy, advanced materials, biotechnology, energy conservation and smart grid. Official visits continued to play a major role in developing linkages. In July 2013, CityU President, Professor Way Kuo and senior CityU managers explored academic exchanges and cooperation with major universities and research institutions in Beijing on a 4-day trip. During their visit in May 2014, greater opportunities for indepth collaboration were the focus of talks between the presidents of both CityU and Zhejiang University. CityU also played host to two major visits from Taiwanese groups, emphasising our strong links with industry and higher education institutions there. A delegation from the Asia Pacific Taiwan Federation of Industry and Commerce visited in May 2014 to get updates on the University’s latest development, while a 10-member delegation from the University System of Taiwan explored possible collaborations with CityU and toured our facilities during a visit in February 2014.

A delegation led by Mr Chen Biao, Deputy Mayor of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government, visited the CityU Shenzhen Research Institute in December 2013 to find out more about the latest research undertaken at the different centres and their research output. Training is a highly effective means of building networks. An event titled “Symposium and Train-the-Trainer Workshop for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education” organised by CityU in December 2013 aimed to encourage higher education institutions to add elements of innovation and entrepreneurship to their curricula. A follow-up event took place at Nanjing Audit University in June 2014.

開設培訓班亦可拓展大學的關係網絡。2013年12月，城大舉辦了「創新創業教育」研討會暨師資培訓班，以助推動高等院校在課程中納入創新及創業元素。2014年6月，又在南京審計學院舉辦了第二期培訓班。 2013年11月，城大夥同台灣清華大學及中國工程院合作舉辦傑出學人書法展，推動大中華的文化交流，而對外拓展正是舉辦該次展覽的動力之一。

Community outreach was also part of the driving force behind a calligraphy exhibition in November 2013 at which academicians and other distinguished scholars displayed their calligraphy skills. Jointly organised by CityU, Taiwan National Tsing Hua University and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the exhibition helped to promote academic exchange in Greater China.

The Calligraphy Exhibition of the Distinguished Scholars showcases calligraphy works by seven distinguished scholars in mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong. 傑出學人書法展展出內地、台灣、香港七位傑出學人的書法作品。

The University’s 30th anniversary is a landmark milestone giving us the opportunity to reflect on all we have achieved in the past, to celebrate the present and to look forward to building on our success in the future. The Council applauds the many remarkable achievements of the University in these years. The Council has been, and will continue to be, performing its role in the development of the University by maintaining a robust framework for effective governance.

During the year, the Council was delighted to observe new academic initiatives which reinforce the University’s commitment to excellence in research and professional education. Further to approval in previous years for collaboration with the Shuangliu Government for the establishment of the City University of Hong Kong Chengdu Research Institute, and the establishment of the School of Veterinary Medicine, the Council has been closely monitoring developments, and invited the University’s management to provide updates to the Council. The Council noted that the projects have been progressing well. The collaboration with Cornell University, a world leader in veterinary medicine, is well underway. The parties have been working proactively on details of the postgraduate programmes, joint research and teaching, faculty recruitment. The School Office and School Board of the School of Veterinary Medicine have been set up, with the first cohort of the Doctor of Philosophy students to be admitted soon. In addition, the University is actively exploring collaboration opportunities with institutions from overseas and the mainland to create synergy. The Council is delighted to learn that the School of Veterinary Medicine has received a great deal of local and overseas support for the University’s aspirations. With an aim to align the functions of Council Committees for better support to the University, the Council reviewed the structure of its committees and approved the formation of task forces, as and when required, to take the place of the Strategic Development Committee. This initiative has streamlined the operations of the Council, enabling it to function more effectively and efficiently and cater for the changing needs arising from the latest developments of the University. The Council’s retreat in March 2014, which followed on from the new initiative introduced last year, proved to be another successful and fruitful event. With members of the senior management invited, too, the retreat was a useful sharing platform for attendees to delve into the University’s latest developments and strategies and exchange ideas with senior management. The Council is pleased to see a sound and closer working relationship with the University management.

financial summary 財務摘要

Over the course of the year 2013–2014, the University sustained its strong financial base, ensuring that the University has the capacity to proceed with its on-going strategic development in terms of supporting new academic programmes, new facilities and strategic initiatives. The overall picture looks very healthy in terms of consolidated financial results. The University recorded a surplus of $476 million, as compared with $397 million last year. As for consolidated income, i.e. government subventions, student tuition and other fees, donations and matching grants, and other contract and auxiliary revenue, the figure stands at $4,150 million, compared to $4,017 million in 2012–13. The University saw an increase of $195 million in terms of its consolidated expenditure to a total of $4,183 million, which was a 5% increase on last year. During the year, the University spent $2,937 million, about 70% of total consolidated expenditure, on instruction and research, the library, central computing facilities and other academic services. Over the next 12 months, we will continue to operate in a financially accountable and sustainable manner in pursuit of our overall academic vision.

在2013–14年度，大學維持穩健的財務基礎，確保大學有能力促進持續性的策略發展，如支持開設新課程，興建新設施及推行策略性舉措。本年度大學的綜合業績整體狀況良好，錄得4億7,600萬元盈餘，而去年的盈餘則為3億9,700萬元。以綜合收入而論， 2013–14年度為41億5,000萬元，其中包括政府撥款、學費和其他收費、捐款及配對補助金，以及其他合約與雜項收益，而 2012–13年度為40億1,700萬元。大學2013–14年度的綜合開支總額為41億8,300萬元，較去年增加5%，即1億9,500萬元。年內約70%的大學整體總綜合開支，即29億3,700萬元，用於教學及研究、圖書館、中央電腦設施及其他教學服務。我們將在未來一年繼續以負責任和可持續的財務態度營運大學，為達成學術願景而努力。
