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”.

Research assessment

研究評審

We were very pleased with the results of the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2014. They placed CityU firmly in the top four UGC-funded universities in terms of overall performance in Hong Kong. The results indicated that 44% of CityU’s research is rated in the top-notch categories as either world-leading (“4 star”) or internationally excellent (“3 star”). We performed particularly well in several disciplinary areas, including Building Technology, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Communications and Media Studies, Materials Science, and Mathematics and Statistics.

我們對大學教育資助委員會(教資會)公佈的「2014年研究評審工作」結果深感欣喜，城大在本港教資會資助的大學中整體表現突出，位列前四名。評審結果顯示，城大44%的研究達世界領先(4星)或國際卓越水平(3星)。城大在多個學科表現出色，以獲評為頂尖研究(4星或3星)的百分比計算，在教資會資助的院校中名列前茅的學科包括建造技術、化學工程、土木工程、傳理及傳媒學、材料科學、數學及統計學。

Highlights of the Year 年度大事摘要

Ranking: going up

大學排名持續上升

Employability: We aim to prepare our students for the international job market through our professional education. A unique ranking of today’s best universities in terms of the employability of their graduates indicated that we are on the right trajectory. We were placed in the top 150 in the Global Employability University Survey and Ranking in 2014, an annual survey conducted by the French consulting group Emerging and the German research institute Trendence. Some 4,700 recruiters and executives from 20 countries across Europe, Asia and North America were polled in the survey. Our appearance in the list reflects the positive responses our professional education has elicited internationally, and it was the first time we were cited on the list.

就業能力不斷提升：

Highly cited researchers: Our scholars have proved their research strengths in terms of their publications both last year and accumulatively over the past few years. CityU ranked 2nd in Hong Kong in the list of Highly Cited Researchers 2014 published by Thomson Reuters. The top-ranked researchers were Professor Lee Shuit-tong (Chemistry and Materials Science), Professor Zhou Dingxuan (Mathematics), Professor Chen Guanrong (Engineering and Physics) and Professor Daniel Ho Wing-cheong (Engineering). Their hard work puts them among the top 1% most cited for their subject field and year of publication. University rankings: We continued to maintain our consistently strong performances in QS World University Rankings. We were delighted to be ranked 5th in the QS Top 50 Under 50 survey of universities, and to be positioned as the 9th top university in Asia in 2014. In addition, according to the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities by National Taiwan University Ranking, Engineering at CityU is 1st in Hong Kong.

City University of Hong Kong 香港城市大學

城大希望通過專業教育，培養學生為進入國際就業市場作好準備。根據一項以畢業生就業能力排序的全球最佳大學調查結果，城大首次榜上有名。在法國人力資源顧問公司Emerging 與德國研究機構Trendence合作的「2014年全球大學就業能力調查」中，城大畢業生的就業能力列於首150名之內。調查團隊訪問了來自歐洲、亞洲和北美洲20個國家約4,700名招聘人員及行政主管。這次上榜，反映城大的專業教育卓有成效，獲得國際肯定。

廣獲徵引的科學家名錄：去年及近幾年來，城大學者在研究出版方面充分展示其優勢。城大於湯森路透社編製的「2014年度廣獲徵引的科學家名錄」中，以入選科學家人數計算，在香港位居第二。獲列入名錄的優秀學者是：李述湯教授(化學及材料科學)、周定軒教授(數學)、陳關榮教授(工程及物理學)、何永昌教授 (工程)。上述學者研究不輟，其論文在所屬領域及發表年度內獲引用次數為最多的前1%。

世界大學排名：城大在QS世界大學排名持續表現強勁。我們欣見城大2014年在「QS最佳50所創校未滿50年大學」排名中位居第5位，並躋身亞洲大學前9位。此外，根據國立台灣大學的「世界大學科研論文質量評比」，城大於工學領域在香港排名第一。

Highlights of the Year 年度大事摘要

Community supporters Donation for veterinary medicine: We were very grateful to receive such a large sum to be used for our new School of Veterinary Medicine from acclaimed business leader Dr Li Dak-sum, Chairman of Roxy Property Investment Co. Ltd, Corporate Advisor of SharpRoxy (HK) Ltd, and Chairman of the Singapore Carlton Hotel Group. Dr Li was honoured at a CityU ceremony in March 2015 in gratitude for the HK$100 million that he donated. Support for strategic initiatives: Dr Koo Ming-kown, founder of the Nam Tai Group and Honorary Graduate of CityU, donated HK$5 million to support the University’s strategic initiatives. Naming events: A number of prominent individuals and their families rewarded CityU by allowing us to name special venues on campus in their honour. Lecture Theatre 18 in Academic 1 was named the “Mr & Mrs Chan Hon Pun Lecture Theatre” in appreciation of the support and generous donations to the University made by Mr Chan Hon-pun and his wife Mrs Chan Hon Yuk-yee. CityU benefits considerably from the support of successful entrepreneurs such as Mr Chan. His capacity to overcome severe adversities and set up his own business is an inspiration to our students. Meanwhile, the Alumni Function Room in Academic 3 was named “Eminence Galaxy” in recognition of the generous contributions of the CityU Eminence Society to the University. The new name signifies the precious assembly of CityU alumni who shine in their professions as well as in society, and unite to support the advancement of their alma mater.

社會各界的支持者支持動物醫學的捐款：城大在2015年3月舉行一場特別典禮，感謝商界知名人士李達三博士捐贈一億港元，支持動物醫學院的長遠發展。李博士是成功的企業家，身兼樂聲物業投資有限公司董事會主席、聲寶 — 樂聲(香港)有限公司董事會顧問、新加坡卡爾登酒店集團董事會主席。

Knowledge transfer

知識轉移

A perfect combination of entrepreneurship and scientific research was evident in the success of the biotechnology company founded by alumni Mr Eric Chen Zixiang and Dr Chen Xueping. They won the Grand Prix at the 43rd Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions for the commercialisation of technology developed by Professor Cheng Shuk Han from the Department of Biomedical Sciences at CityU and her research team. The technology helps to improve the safety of food and daily necessities by rapidly testing for toxins through the use of zebrafish embryos.

校友陳子翔先生及陳雪平博士創立的生物科技公司，是企業精神與科學研究的完美結合。該公司利用城大生物醫學系鄭淑嫻教授及其科研團隊開發的生物測毒技術，以斑馬魚的胚胎來檢測毒素，以保障食品及用品安全，因而奪得第43屆日內瓦國際發明展的最高榮譽大獎。

30th anniversary Community-oriented projects and short videos about university life devised by students received awards at a ceremony that kicked off the 30th Anniversary Student Programmes Exhibition in November 2014. The student projects were part of two major initiatives aimed at celebrating CityU’s anniversary year: the Community Services and Engagement Projects; and the “Life at CityU in 30 Seconds” Video Competition. A special exhibition celebrating our outstanding achievements in research and advanced technology over the past 30 years took place in September and October 2014. The exhibition, titled “30 Years of Research and Innovation@CityU”, was an opportunity to showcase CityU’s achievements to the community. It emphasised CityU’s commitment to excellence in research and professional education. VIPs from across the political, education, business and industry spectrum helped launch the event.

Festive banquet and CityU Foundation

校慶晚宴及「城大基金」

A video presentation, an animation and a new media performance were among the highlights at a festive banquet that brought together in November 2014 more than 800 supporters, alumni, students, faculty and staff of CityU in celebration of the 30th anniversary.

一部錄像、一部動畫片，以及一場新媒體表演，是城大2014年 11月三十周年校慶晚宴的重點。城大支持者、校友等嘉賓，以及師生職員800多人出席晚宴，歡聚慶賀。

Another highlight of the evening was the launch of the City University of Hong Kong Foundation, a landmark initiative for strengthening ties with our benefactors, bolstering the University’s fundraising capabilities, and ensuring financial sustainability in the pursuit of academic and research excellence.

晚宴活動的另一重點，是宣佈成立「香港城市大學基金」。這項舉措意義重大，可望更緊密聯絡各界贊助人，提升大學籌款能力，並確保大學財源持續穩定，以利在教學及科研中取得卓越成就。

Annual Report 2014–15 年報

Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席序言 The key to innovation is to think differently. To unlock research problems and provide useful solutions, we have to think out of the box. To nurture young minds and foster a new generation of leaders, we have to build on traditional approaches and develop new ways, of teaching, learning and exploring. 創新的關鍵在於思維不落窠臼。若要解決研究問題，找出切實可行的方案，思維就必須擺脫舊有框架。要作育英才，培養新一代領袖，在教學及探索時，就要在借鑒傳統方法之餘，另闢新徑。

City University of Hong Kong 香港城市大學

Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席序言

Our new five-year Strategic Plan 2015–2020, Making a Difference through Excellence in Research and Professional Education, encapsulates this drive to be more creative in the way we strategically approach higher education. The Plan will act as a blueprint for our future direction, enabling us to better serve society. Serving as a springboard into new ways of thinking, it is the consolidation of all that our previous Strategic Plan 2010–2015 has achieved. A tennis match analogy is prescient. With every serve we make, every forehand we play, and every volley we return, we look to perform well and hit a winning shot. Our new Plan provides CityU, a young and dynamic institution of higher education, with the necessary groundwork to accomplish such goals. Our visionary and dynamic approach is encapsulated in the strategic alliance forged between the Community College of City University (CCCU) and the University of Wollongong (UOW), Australia. This exciting initiative is aimed at significantly improving the professional educational opportunities for CCCU students, giving them study opportunities which would not otherwise be possible against a backdrop of reducing demand for associate degree programmes. The Council was very happy to see that CCCU has identified a strategic partner of remarkable international academic standing to embark on this new journey and scale new heights. With UOW’s academic expertise, international education experience and commitment to the development of education in East Asia, I believe CCCU will become a degree-granting university very soon.

城大新的五年策略性發展計劃，以「卓越精益求創新、教研並進育專才」為題，體現了城大以更多創意發展高等教育的決心。這項計劃是大學未來發展的藍圖，可令我們更好地服務社會。新計劃鞏固城大在《2010至2015年策略性發展計劃》設定的目標而取得的各項成就，並藉此啟發新思維。不妨以網球術語作個比喻。每次發球、每次正手擊球、每次截擊，我們都全力以赴，希望打出致勝的好球。城大是一所朝氣蓬勃、充滿活力的高等教育機構，新計劃有助奠定必要的基礎以實現這樣的目標。香港城市大學專上學院(下稱「城專」)與澳洲臥龍崗大學結成合作聯盟，體現了城大目光遠大與積極進取的態度。這個聯盟旨在大大增加城專學生接受專業教育的機會。因為從長遠看來，隨著對副學士學位課程的需求日減，他們獲得專業教育的機會將愈來愈少。城大校董會樂見城專覓得具有卓越國際學術地位的結盟夥伴，並即將展開新的里程，再闖高峰。我相信，憑藉臥龍崗大學在學術發展及國際教育方面的豐富經驗，以及其對東亞地區發展教育的決心，城專有望升格為可頒授學位的大學。

Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席序言

Our innovative approach has also inspired stronger support from the local community. We have enjoyed a great deal of generous backing in terms of donations and association. Significant donations by a few of Hong Kong’s leading philanthropists were milestones in the history of CityU. The funds will help to provide scholarships for students, improve our academic prowess through the creation of endowed Chairs and help support our School of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, we are very pleased that many prominent persons accepted our awards for honorary doctoral degrees and honorary fellowships. Our naming ceremonies gave us a chance to thank several prominent benefactors for their generous contributions and gracious support for CityU. Strong relationships with alumni are essential to the on-going development of CityU, and with their support, our students can grow and achieve their dreams. In recognition of the generous contributions of the CityU Eminence Society, the Alumni Function Room in Academic 3 was named as “Eminence Galaxy”. This strong partnership reflects the level of support we receive from alumni and serves to show current students the role they can fulfill after graduation. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our students, staff and management for the way in which they managed the potential risks related to the Occupy Central Movement. Students from CityU behaved sensibly and staff and management of the University ensured that student welfare and safety were at the forefront of their approach. Thank you and well done.

City University of Hong Kong 香港城市大學

城大的創新舉措亦獲得本地各界大力擁護。在捐助及建立聯繫方面，大學都得到熱心支持。香港幾位知名慈善家的巨額捐款，已成為城大校史上的里程碑。大學所獲的資助，會用於向學生提供獎學金，設立冠名講座教席以提升學術水平，以及支持動物醫學院。我們亦很高興見到，多位傑出人士獲頒城大榮譽博士及榮譽院士銜。城大憑藉舉辦命名典禮，向幾位熱心的社會賢達對城大的慷慨捐助及支持表示感謝。城大與校友的密切關係，對大學的持續發展尤為重要。受益於校友的支持，城大學生得以茁壯成長，實現夢想。為此，城大將位於學術樓(三)的校友活動室命名為「城賢匯聚」，以彰顯校友組織「城賢匯」多年來對城大作出的傑出貢獻。大學與校友之間的良好夥伴關係，既反映校友對城大的全力支持，也向在校學生展示畢業後如何回饋母校。藉此機會，我要感謝各位學生、教職員及管理層，妥善處理了「佔領中環運動」時的潛在風險。城大學生在此期間表現理智，大學教職員及管理層亦以學生利益與安全為重。謝謝各位的出色表現。

Chairman’s Foreword 校董會主席序言

I am pleased that the Council has played such an active role in helping to ensure the smooth operation of CityU whilst also striving to continually enhance the working environment. Council has discussed and endorsed several measures aimed at improving the well-being of staff members in addition to vetting the annual budget, standardising working hours, and handling many other important governance issues. The Council also began holding a retreat on a roughly annual basis from 2013 onwards so that members were given a further opportunity to learn more about the University and discuss some important issues in even greater depth. Due to the success of the first retreat, I am pleased to announce that the second Council Retreat took place in 2014 and the third Council Retreat will take place in October 2015. Finally, I would like to thank all Council members for their range of insights and experience and their dedication to open discussion (of sometimes contrasting views) which has always demonstrated the highest standards of fairness together with a genuine wish to carefully consider all contributions.

校董會能夠積極發揮作用，協助城大運作順暢，同時繼續致力改善工作環境，我甚感欣慰。除了審查年度預算，調整工時，以及處理其他重大管治事宜，校董會還議決批准了幾項改善員工待遇的措施。從2013年開始，校董會每年都舉辦一次集思會，使各位校董有更多機會加深了解大學，對一些重大議題作深入探討。首次集思會成效甚彰，我在此欣然宣佈，繼2014年集思會後，第三次集思會將在2015年10月舉行。我要感謝各位校董，他們在不同的領域具有精闢見解及豐富經驗，在討論時積極參與(雖然有時不免意見分歧)，總是盡量追求公平，並認真考慮各方的意見。我們確實能夠改變生活，改善身處的社會。無論是透過有效學習、創新知識轉移、應用研究成果、策略性領導、志願服務技能，或是為善舉而籌款，城大的學生、研究人員、教職員、校友、校董及各界友好，每個人都齊心協力，力求改變本港、亞太區，以至國際社會，建設更美好家園。

We can change lives, and improve the society in which we live. Whether that is through effective learning and creative knowledge transfer, applicable research achievements or strategic leadership, volunteering skills or fundraising for worthy causes, our students, our researchers, our staff, our alumni, Council members and supporters are working to transform communities, locally, regionally and further afield, into better places.

Treasurer’s Report 司庫報告

Government Subventions Government subventions for the year were $2,300 million, an increase of $247 million compared with $2,053 million in 2013–14. The subventions included block grants and supplementary grants, earmarked grants, matching grants, capital grants and grants from other government agencies. Block and supplementary grants rose by 13%, mainly due to additional grants for the increase in the senior-year intake, triennium inflationary adjustment, and an increase in earmarked grants for various initiatives. The University also saw an increase of $9 million in matching grants due to the release of the last batch of the matching grants for the Sixth Matching Grant Scheme in August 2014. Overall, the University performed strongly in the sixth Matching Grant Scheme of the University Grants Committee (UGC), securing donations that well exceeded the set floor level. In addition, grants from government agencies increased by 11% to $92 million for the year 2014–15, as compared with $83 million last year. In addition to funding the basic research infrastructure through block grants, the UGC provided earmarked grants for research through the Research Grants Council (RGC) and awards for competitive bids. The amount received for 2014–15 through General Research Funds and other UGC/RGC funding schemes was $122 million, an increase of $32 million as compared with last year. The University received other research funds worth $131 million from government-related organisations and commercial sector and private donors during the year.

政府撥款本年度的政府撥款共23億元，較2013–14年度的20億5,300萬元增加2億4,700萬元。政府撥款包括整體撥款、補助撥款、特定撥款、配對補助金、基本工程撥款以及其他政府機構撥款。整體撥款及補助撥款上升13%，主要是由於增加高年級收生學額、三年撥款期的通脹調整，以及因應大學各項舉措的特定撥款有所增加。此外，大學的配對補助金增加900萬元，原因是2014年8月獲發第六輪配對補助金計劃最後一期的配對補助金。整體而言，大學在大學教育資助委員會(教資會)的第六輪配對補助金計劃中表現出色，籌得捐款遠超計劃所訂的最低款額。此外，2014–15年度來自其他政府機構的撥款為9,200萬元，較去年的8,300萬元增加11%。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 2014–15年度獲優配研究金及其他教資會╱研資局撥款1億 2,200萬元，較去年上升3,200萬元。此外，大學在年內從其他政府機構、商界、個人捐款獲得1億3,100萬元研究資助金。

Tuition and Other Fees Tuition and other fees from students came to $1,854 million, an increase of $45 million and $9 million from UGC-funded programmes and self-financing programmes, respectively. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in the senior-year intake and an increase in tuition fees for self-financing programmes and non-local students. In addition, the number of non-local students studying at CityU continuously increased in 2014–15. As the main purpose of offering self-financing programmes is to meet community and societal needs, the University will continue to promote its robust quality assurance system, and ensure that all self-financing programmes at CityU are of the same rigorous standards as UGC-funded programmes. Donations and Benefactions Donations and benefactions received during the year amounted to $166 million, an increase of $60 million as compared with $106 million last year. The University is thankful to all donors for their generous gifts and financial support. The amount raised will be used to support the University’s development and strategic initiatives, research and departmental functions, and student learning.

Expenditure Consolidated expenditure totaled $4,312 million in 2014–15, an increase of $129 million, representing a 3% increase on last year’s figure of $4,183 million. During the year, the Group spent $3,022 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. The University significantly expanded its international networks and successfully concluded many new agreements for academic/ student exchanges with prestigious institutions around the world in support of the Discovery-enriched Curriculum. Expenditure on research projects and studentships in 2014–15 was $456 million, compared with $443 million for 2013–14.

學費及其他收費年內的學費及來自學生的其他收費為18億5,400萬元，其中教資會資助課程較去年增加4,500萬元，而自資營運課程則增加900萬元。收入上升主要是因為高年級收生學額以及自資營運課程及非本地學生的學費有所增加。此外，2014–15年度入讀城大的非本地生人數持續上升。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，務求所有自資營運課程的質素與教資會資助課程的嚴格水平一致。

捐款及捐助年內的捐款及捐助為1億6,600萬元，較去年的1億600萬元增加6,000萬元。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重大舉措、科研和學系部門工作以及教學。

開支 2014–15年度的綜合開支總額為43億1,200萬元，較去年的 41億8,300萬元增加3%，即1億2,900萬元。年內約70%的大學整體總綜合開支，即30億2,200萬元，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。大學致力擴闊其國際網絡，成功與世界多家著名學府簽訂學術或學生交流的新協議，以配合大學的「重探索求創新課程」。2014 –15年度的研究開支及助學金開支合共4億5,600萬元，而2013–14年度則為4億4,300萬元。

Institutional support increased to $1,290 million, by about 4% as compared with the previous year’s $1,246 million, and accounted for about 30% of total expenditure in 2014–15. Of the total institutional support expenses, $355 million was spent on management and general, $679 million for premises and related expenses, and $256 million for student and general education services and others. During the year under review, the University continued to support a range of initiatives such as student exchanges and learning activities that will prepare students for their professional careers. The percentage of undergraduate students who have gained international experience through various kinds of exchange and learning programmes has risen significantly. CityU was able to meet its target of enabling 50% of its students to participate in overseas exchanges by 2015, as set out in our 2010–2015 Strategic Plan. Motivated by our responsibility to manage efficiently and effectively, the University has encouraged work simplification and promoted a “green” campus. The aim is to share this common responsibility by reducing waste through recycling and re-using materials where possible in all University operations. The University’s ongoing success is dependent not only on its financial resources, but also its people. Staffing costs amounted to $2,720 million, which represented 63% of consolidated expenditure. Further refinement of the Performance-based Pay Review Scheme has been carried out to ensure that the University’s compensation philosophy and structure appropriately reflect our overall excellence and the work of our remarkable faculty and staff members. The remaining $1,214 million and $378 million were spent on operating expenses and depreciation and others, respectively.

Investment Return Interest and investment returns totaled $198 million, i.e. about a 3.3% return in 2014–15. Under the persistence of an extremely low interest-rate environment, the interest and dividends received during the year were $144 million. Measured over a longer period, the University has been able to achieve a healthy investment and interest income. The 3-year average return is above 5% and can supplement the funding of daily operations and the long-term development of the University.

相較去年的12億4,600萬元，教學支援的開支上升約4%至 12億9,000萬元，佔2014–15年度的總開支約30%。教學支援開支中，管理及一般項目開支為3億5,500萬元，校舍及有關開支為6億7,900萬元，學生及教育服務和其他開支為2億5,600萬元。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。本科生通過各項交流及學習計劃得到國際體驗的百分比大幅上升。城大達到了2010–2015年度發展計劃所訂的目標，至2015年協助50%學生參與海外交流。為了達致更快捷有效的管理，大學鼓勵簡化工序以及推行「綠色」校園，盡力在所有運作中循環使用及重複使用物料，以減少廢物，達致共同肩負社會責任的目標。大學能夠持續成功，除了財政資源外，更有賴員工。員工薪酬及福利開支佔綜合開支總額的63%，達27億2,000萬元。大學推行的「績效獎勵計劃」，將繼續作出修訂，以確保大學的薪酬福利架構及理念，能夠配合城大的整體卓越表現以及教研和行政人員的傑出工作。其他開支包括12億1,400萬元用於營運開支，3億7,800萬元用於折舊及其他項目。

投資回報大學在2014–15年度錄得1億9,800萬元利息及淨投資回報，亦即約3.3%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1億4,400萬元。按過去較長期的表現衡量，大學在投資方面取得穩健的回報和利息收入。三年期的平均回報率高於5%，可用以補助大學的日常營運開支及支持長遠發展。

President’s Report 校長報告

Strategic Plan 2015–2020 2015 was a landmark year for CityU. In this year we have embarked upon our next five-year plan, one that further elevates our academic excellence, international standing and importance to society. This new Strategic Plan 2015–2020, titled Making a Difference through Excellence in Research and Professional Education, and approved by Council in April of this year, will help us to maintain our dynamic trajectory towards becoming a leading global university, excelling in research and professional education.

New logo In addition, 2015 saw the launch of our new University logo. The design presents a refreshed image of CityU, one that reflects our achievements and aspirations. The outcome of a series of extensive consultations across campus over the past 12 months, the logo is essentially the 30th anniversary logo used last year minus the numeral 30. It is our hope that this new logo will bring about an inspiring atmosphere of action and progress.

Rising status We have continued our rising trajectory locally and internationally. CityU was ranked 5th in the world’s top 50 universities under 50 years of age, and 9th in the Asian University Rankings by QS. What’s more, the College of Business is ranked second in the Asia Pacific region, with its world ranking rising from 46 to 37 in the UTD Top 100 Business School Research Rankings. Not only that, Engineering at CityU is ranked top in Hong Kong in the Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities.

2015至2020年發展計劃對城大而言，2015年是關鍵的一年。今年，我們開始實施未來五年的發展計劃，使城大學術成就更高，國際聲望更隆，為社會作出更大貢獻。2015年4月，校董會會議通過了以「卓越精益求創新、教研並進育專才」為題的《2015至2020年策略性發展計劃》，這個計劃將有助於城大保持蓬勃活力，發展為研究成果優異、專業教育出眾的全球一流學府。

新校徽此外，城大2015年開始啟用新校徽，展示全新形象，突顯我校的成就與抱負。新校徽的啟用，是過去12個月全校廣泛諮詢的結果。新校徽基本上就是去年城大三十周年校慶期間使用的徽標，只是沒有30這個數字，旨在表達城大勵精圖進的志向。

排名節節上升城大在本地及國際的學術排名繼續上升。根據國際高等教育資訊機構QS公佈的排名榜，在建校未滿50年的全球50所最佳大學排名榜中，城大位居第5位；在亞洲大學排名榜中，城大名列第9位。此外，根據美國達拉斯德州大學公佈的商學院首100位研究排名，城大商學院的全球排名由第46位躍升至第37位，在亞太區位居第二。根據「世界大學科研論文質量評比」，城大在工學領域發表的論文在香港排名第一。

Milestones

重大成就

CityU has worked hard to consolidate the goals and aspirations enshrined in our previous Strategic Plan 2010–2015 in areas of student learning and career development, and globalisation.

城大努力實現了2010至2015年發展計劃中制訂的目標與宏圖，其中包括提升學生的學習體驗及事業發展、全球化等重要領域。

We met the targets in private donations to support the goal of having at least 50% of undergraduate students participate in exchanges by 2015 to enhance the internationalisation of learning and professional practice; and established CityU Foundation, which serves as a platform for fundraising, engaging donors and strengthening affiliations with the University.

城大設定目標，要在2015年底前籌集足夠私人捐款，支持至少半數本科生參加各類交流計劃，以促進學習及專業訓練國際化。我們已達到這個目標，並成立了「城大基金」，以利籌款及聯絡贊助人，加強贊助人與城大的聯繫。

In addition, CityU formally established the School of Veterinary Medicine in collaboration with Cornell University, offering initially an interdisciplinary PhD programme in Veterinary Sciences under the joint supervision of CityU and Cornell faculty. In terms of Research and Technology Transfer, we were delighted that we performed remarkably well in the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2014, and that we are now located firmly in the top four UGC-funded universities in terms of overall performance in Hong Kong. In terms of branding, image and culture, we were equally pleased when we received a generous donation of HK$100 million from Dr Li Dak-sum, an acclaimed business leader in the Hong Kong community. The gift will help establish an endowment fund for the development of the School of Veterinary Medicine.

另外，城大與康奈爾大學合作創辦了動物醫學院，成立初期提供跨學科動物醫學博士課程，由城大與康奈爾大學的教師共同指導。在研究及技術轉移領域，城大在2014年的研究評審工作中表現卓越，令人振奮。評審結果顯示，城大整體表現在教資會資助的院校中穩居本港大學前四名。在大學品牌推廣、形象及文化方面，城大同樣取得佳績，獲得商界知名人士李達三博士捐贈港幣一億元，用作設立「李達三葉耀珍動物醫學發展基金」，以資助動物醫學院的長遠發展。

未來之路城大在過去一年成就輝煌。如今，我們在上個五年計劃的堅實基礎上制訂了新的發展計劃，並設計了令人耳目一新的校徽。城大憑藉過往的成就，正大步邁進。城大的師生員工，將繼續精益求精、更上層樓。

Future paths The last year has been extremely rewarding for CityU. With a new Strategic Plan, one that builds on the firm foundations set by our previous Plan, and a refreshed University logo, CityU is on track to capitalise on its milestone achievements. We will continue to make a difference in the lives of our campus community.

傑出講座系列

The disciplines and areas of research discussed covered a range of fascinating topics, all of which tied to CityU’s strategic areas of focus in terms of professional education, research and development. For example, a talk in November 2014 looked at the dynamic nature of HIV replication in vivo which has revolutionised people’s basic understanding of AIDS. The speaker was Professor David Ho, the founding Scientific Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center, and the Irene Diamond Professor at The Rockefeller University, and also a recipient this year of a CityU Honorary Doctor of Science. In addition, in keeping with our drive to enhance public health, Professor Dennis Lo, Fellow of the Royal Society in the UK, and Foreign Associate of the US National Academy of Sciences, gave a talk titled “Non-invasive Prenatal and Cancer Tests: Two Sides of the Same Coin” in April 2015. Energy was a hot topic in the series, too, covering topics such as energy conversion and storage. In October 2014, the mathematician Professor Roger J-B Wets from the University of California, Davis, discussed issues related to predicting energy supply needs for an energy mix that includes renewables. In March 2015, Professor Sidney Yip, Professor Emeritus, Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explored nuclear science and engineering in a sustainable world. Professor Wan Lijun, President of the University of Science and Technology of China, and Professor of the Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discussed in April 2015 how electrode materials were playing key roles in energy conversion and storage devices.

Ethnic minorities: More than 60% of students aged 12 to 23 from ethnic minority groups in Hong Kong said their Chinese proficiency was only comparable to that of average local primary students, according to a survey conducted by CityU and Hong Kong Christian Service.

Establishing links

學術結盟

Our desire to create linkages beyond Hong Kong is closely tied with our strategic drive to internationalise campus in all our professional education and research endeavours.

城大致力走出香港，加強與世界各地院校或機構的聯繫交流。這方面的努力與大學發展專業教育及研究、創立國際化校園的策略緊密相連。

Within the region: Framework agreements signed with Cornell University and Northern Illinois University in June 2015 established long-term collaboration for joint research projects and academic exchange activities between CityU’s Southeast Asia Research Centre and two of the most important centres for Southeast Asian Studies in the US. Southeast Asia is an integral part of CityU’s regional view.

亞太區的合作：

An agreement on student exchanges was signed in May 2015 with Peking University while discussions were held with the Chairman of the University Council of Tsinghua University, Professor Chen Xu, about CityU’s School of Veterinary Medicine.

城大2015年5月與北京大學簽署了學生交換計劃協議，同時與清華大學校務委員會主席陳旭教授討論有關動物醫學院的合作事宜。

Meanwhile, new media art exhibitions from the National Palace Museum (NPM) in Taipei exhibited for the first time in Hong Kong following a memorandum of understanding in October 2014 marked a milestone in cultural and art exchanges. With its strengths in technology and engineering, together with its extensive experience in promoting Chinese culture, history and creative media education, CityU aims to present a new media art exhibition with NPM in Hong Kong.

東南亞是城大著重拓展聯繫的地區之一。2015年6月，城大與美國的康奈爾大學及北伊利諾斯州大學分別簽訂框架協議，與兩校的東南亞研究所建立長期協作關係，以促進城大的東南亞研究中心與海外院校從事聯合研究並進行學術交流。兩校的東南亞研究所在美國均名列前茅。

2014年10月，城大與台北的國立故宮博物院(故宮)簽署合作備忘錄，並在今年合辦了新媒體藝術展。這是故宮首次與香港的大學合作，藝術展成為台港兩地文化藝術交流的里程碑。城大藉助在工程技術領域的實力，以及推廣中國文化、歷史及創意媒體教育的豐富經驗，運用新媒體藝術手法在香港呈現一個嶄新的故宮展覽。 2014年9月，城大與內地頂尖學府上海復旦大學簽訂備忘錄，促進兩校的學術交流與合作，加強學術及文化資源的共享。

Globally: We established further strong ties with Europe over the year. A delegation led by the University President, Professor Way Kuo, explored at the start of the year collaboration opportunities with prestigious French institutions such as the University of Paris VI (also known as University Pierre and Marie Curie, UPMC), Sciences Po, and the University of Strasbourg. Moreover, a memorandum of understanding signed with the University of Groningen in the Netherlands aims to foster academic exchanges and further develop cooperative relationships. It provides a framework for student, academic and research personnel exchanges; scientific research collaboration; sharing of joint research results; and exploring teaching collaboration. On a more international note, CityU was the first university in Hong Kong to join Connect4Climate (C4C), an international coalition on climate change, to share knowledge, raise awareness and encourage action against climate change. Launched by the World Bank, the Italian Ministry of Environment, and the Global Environment Facility in collaboration with over 140 global partners in 2011, C4C is a global partnership programme dedicated to climate change communications.

走向世界：過去一年，城大繼續加強與歐洲大學及機構的聯繫。2015年初，校長郭位教授率領代表團前往法國，造訪知名大學及機構，探討在教學及研究方面的合作機會。代表團訪問了巴黎第六大學(又稱「皮埃爾和瑪麗 • 居里大學」)、巴黎政治大學和斯特拉斯堡大學。城大亦與荷蘭的格羅寧根大學簽訂學術合作備忘錄，以促進兩校之間的學術交流，加強雙方合作關係。合作備忘錄列明雙方的合作計劃，包括學生及教研人員交流、科研合作、共享合作研究成果、探討教學合作等。在更加國際化的領域內，城大加入國際氣候變化計劃「氣候合作」，傳播有關氣候變化的知識，促進大眾認識這一問題，並鼓勵有關各方採取行動保護環境。城大是本港率先參與這項計劃的大學。該計劃由世界銀行、意大利環境部、全球環境基金在2011年推出，得到全球140多個合作夥伴的支持，致力於促進有關氣候變化的信息交流。

與支持者及社區的交流城大的國際學術聲譽蒸蒸日上，同時致力向更多本地社區及團體展示大學在高等教育領域的實力。

The Council now holds an annual retreat (the third will take place in October 2015) so that members are given an opportunity to learn more about the University and discuss important issues in some considerable depth. The Council was delighted to approve the 2015–2020 Strategic Plan, Making a Difference through Excellence in Research and Professional Education, which capitalises on the strong foundations that the University has established. The Plan continues our successful path, extending the high-level aspirations defined in the previous Strategic Plan for 2010–2015. Our new plan charts the University’s direction for the next five years to ensure we can further enhance academic performance by supporting cutting-edge and problembased research initiatives, and strengthening policies and processes for governance, quality assurance and accountability. 校董會在協助香港城市大學推行卓有成效的管治及運作上，發揮了積極作用，同時致力於改善工作環境，以求繼續從全球羅致並挽留最優秀的教職員。校董會現在每年都會舉辦集思會，讓各校董會成員有更多機會加深了解大學，對一些重大問題作深入探討，第三次集思會將在2015年10月舉行。校董會議決並欣然批准了《2015至2020年策略性發展計劃》。新計劃以「卓越精益求創新、教研並進育專才」為題，是在已有的穩固基礎上制訂出來的，並延續了《2010至2015年策略性發展計劃》的成功路徑。新計劃為大學的未來五年發展定下清晰方向，通過支持尖端及問題導向型研究計劃，並同時加強大學管治、質素保證及責任承擔，以進一步提升大學的學術表現。

University Governance 大學管治

Our success stems from the quality of our staff and, to attract even more distinguished experts to our campus, the Council has approved the creation of the grade Professor of Practice. Such professors will provide professional advice and conduct teaching and learning activities related to the instruction and practice of specialist subjects. Our success is also directly related to the well-being of staff members. To further improve the working environment and standardise working hours for non-academic support staff, the Council approved a decision to align the working hours of Junior General Grade and Minor Grade staff with those of the majority of non-academic staff. The Council also approved the modification to the Regulations Governing Staff Discipline in light of operational experience in handling disciplinary cases following recommendations from the Audit Committee, and the continuation of the provision of the non-accountable cash allowance in lieu of housing and passage benefits for visiting appointees in order to provide enhanced flexibility and departmental operational efficiency. In November 2014, the Council approved the proposal for the Community College of City University (CCCU) to form a strategic alliance with the University of Wollongong, Australia with the objective of significantly expanding articulation opportunities for CCCU students, facilitating the development of new programmes for CCCU, and paving the way for CCCU to become a degree-granting university. This will enable CCCU to embark on a new journey and scale new heights in close collaboration with a strategic partner of remarkable international academic standing. Constantly striving for excellence, the University continues to strengthen its governance, foster closer relationships with, and receive increasing support, from the community. Under the delegation granted to the Community Relations Committee, the Council was pleased to approve the acceptance of donation offers from different sectors of society during the year. Philanthropy not only plays an important role in the development of the University, it also signifies increasing levels of recognition and support for the University from the community. The receipt of a significant donation of HK$100 million from acclaimed business leader Dr Li Dak-sum was among the most remarkable gifts of late. Such tremendous support has enabled a number of important initiatives including the establishment of an endowment fund that will contribute to research and education in veterinary medicine.

城大的成功源於大學教職員的質素。為吸引更多傑出學者來校任教，校董會批准設立「專業實踐教授」一職。「專業實踐教授」將提供專業建議，從事與專業課題相關的教學及專業應用活動。城大的成功，也與教職員的福祉有直接關係。為改善員工的工作環境，並統一非教學支援人員的工作時數，校董會議決批准調整初級一般職級職員及基層職級職員的工作時數，使之與其他非教學職員的工作時數一致。校董會還參考審計委員會的提議，根據處理實際紀律個案的經驗，批准了「教職員紀律規例」的修訂，並批准了繼續向客座受聘人士提供非實報實銷現金津貼的決定，以之代替住宿及差旅津貼，以增加靈活性，提升學系運作效率。 2014年11月，校董會議決批准香港城市大學專上學院(下稱「城專」 )與澳洲臥龍崗大學結成合作聯盟，以大幅度增加城專學生升讀大學銜接課程的機會，輔助城專發展及開辦新課程，最終可望升格為頒授學位的大學。此舉令城專得與具有卓越國際學術地位的策略夥伴結盟，有助其踏上新里程，攀登新高峰。城大不斷追求卓越，持續提升大學管治，促進與社會各界建立更緊密關係，亦得到各界友好的大力支持。校董會授權予轄下的社區關係委員會，在年內欣然批准接受社會各界的捐助。各方捐助不僅對城大的發展至關重要，亦反映大學日益獲得社會的肯定和支持。當中，城大有幸獲得香港商界知名人士李達三博士捐贈一億港元。此慷慨捐贈協助城大推行多項重要舉措，包括成立發展基金，支持城大在動物醫學方面的教研工作。

All these significant developments reflect the growth of the University and offer great hope for the future. With the unfailing support of the community and members of the University, we have complete confidence that the University will continue to prosper and gain even greater recognition from the international academic world.

上述各項重要發展均體現了大學的成長以及光明的前景。在社會各界與城大全體成員的大力支持下，我們充滿信心，城大將會繼續蓬勃發展，獲得全球學術界更多肯定。

Annual Report 2014–15 年報

Financial Summary 財務摘要 The fiscal year 2014–15 proved to be a financially strong one for the University. The Group’s consolidated financial results recorded a surplus of $424 million, as compared with $476 million last year. The surplus was achieved primarily through income generation and prudent management of operating expenses, as well as careful stewardship of the University’s financial resources. The consolidated income from government subventions, student tuition and other fees, donations and matching grants, and other contract and auxiliary revenue for the financial year stood at $4,538 million, as compared to $4,150 million in 2013–14. The consolidated expenditure totaled $4,312 million in 2014–15 as compared with $4,183 million last year. During the year, $3,022 million, about 70% of total consolidated expenditure, was spent on instruction and research, the library, central computing facilities and other academic services. To ensure the implementation of the University’s strategic initiatives, the University will remain committed to utilising its financial resources in a sensible, attentive and reliable manner in support of the University’s goals over the next five years.

在2014–15年度，大學的財務狀況十分穩健。本年度大學的綜合業績錄得4億2,400萬元盈餘，去年的盈餘為4億 7,600萬元。盈餘主要源於收入增加以及審慎管理營運開支，同時慎重監管大學的財政資源。 2014–15年度的綜合收入為45億3,800萬元，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2013–14年度為41億5,000萬元。 2014–15年度的綜合開支總額為43億1,200萬元，去年則為 41億8,300萬元。年內約70%的大學整體總綜合開支，即30億 2,200萬元，用於教學及研究、圖書館、中央電腦設施及其他教學服務。為確保順利推行各項長遠發展舉措，大學將繼續以合理周全、明智可靠的方式善用財政資源，支持大學實現未來五年的目標。
