Our other advances in health sciences, engineering, and applied science and textiles are also driving change, as described in the research and development section of this report. In addition, we are recognized for our dedicated work as a partner to other institutions in the education, business and industry sectors all over the world. In the year under review, we continued to build valuable links in Hong Kong, on the Chinese mainland and overseas, to further our goals in teaching and learning, research, and knowledge transfer. We have many success stories in this regard. Here, I will highlight just one. Working together with Hong Kong-based EuAuto Technology Ltd, PolyU technologies have contributed to the development of “mycar”, a fully electrically driven vehicle being produced in Dongguan. The car went on sale in the UK and France in early 2009, and will be formally

In April 2009, a week-long series of programmes, including an exhibition on PolyU’s achievements, lectures and seminars, was held to tie in with my inauguration. While I was thrilled to see over 1,000 local and overseas guests, including Nobel Laureates, outstanding alumni, community leaders, PolyU students and staff, at the inauguration ceremony itself, I knew this owed much to the long-standing support generated by PolyU. I also realized that those in attendance had many expectations of PolyU under its new President.

government and industry alone. Higher education has an essential role in: nurturing all-round talents that are creative and technology literate; conducting research of high practical value; and the promotion of partnerships and knowledge transfer. This is particularly relevant for PolyU with its motto “To learn and to apply, for the benefit of mankind”. However, we must also set goals with a broader vision. As I see it, we have four priorities to guide us in the years ahead: • Sustainable urban development for the well-being of the community, with such concerns reflected in our teaching programmes and research activities; • A focus on innovation and entrepreneurship against a background of global competition; • Advanced executive education to enhance the skills of working professionals and nurture more visionary leaders for our knowledgebased society; and • Support for development in the Pearl River Delta Region. It must, however, be noted that while we may emphasize our relationship with the region close to Hong Kong, our efforts to expand our partnerships with other Chinese mainland universities and government agencies will also continue.

不過,我們仍然需要訂定更高的目標,並且要有更廣闊的視 野。以我所見,我們有以下四個方向:

• 培養創新和企業家精神,以面對全球化競爭; • 為高級行政人員辦培訓課程,提升他們的能力,為這個以知 識為本的社會,培育更多有遠見的領袖人才;

Into the future together I announced in May 2009 that a reorganization of the senior management structure will be introduced to cater more effectively for the development needs of the University. My plan is to have the new structure fully in place by the third quarter of 2010. I have confidence that colleagues can work closely together towards fostering holistic education so that our students can make the most of their university education. I am also certain that, given our talented faculty members, PolyU will continue to make significant breakthroughs in research and positive contributions to enhancing the quality of life for people in Hong Kong and elsewhere. For my part, I will strive to make PolyU a place where all staff members can seek to realize their potential

Chief Executive of the HKSAR and University Chancellor Dr the Hon. Donald Tsang and his wife were the guests of honour. Dr Tsang commended Prof. Poon for leading PolyU to full university status in 1994 and for his tremendous contribution to the advancement of higher education in Hong Kong. In his farewell address, Prof. Poon said he was grateful for the support of staff, students and alumni throughout his tenure. He

also noted that PolyU had steadfastly advanced, receiving strong support from the government, public and private sectors, and the community at large. After retiring, Prof. Poon will devote more time to voluntary work through the Virya Foundation, which he founded together with his wife and close friends in 2005. The foundation seeks to help mainland students with financial difficulties to complete their university education and to assist in their personal growth, hoping that they will contribute to the development of the country in the future. PolyU also dedicated a tree on campus to Prof. Poon on his last day of service on 31 December 2008.

Two-way communication 雙向溝通 The University Management highly values its communication with staff and students. Management actively seeks university members’ opinions through different channels. Staff members are also keen to step up communication with Management. The Polytechnic University Staff Association (PUSA), representing the interests of staff, often initiates discussion with the Management. Meetings between Management and representatives of PUSA, the Postgraduate Association and Students’ Union are also held to enable sharing of thoughts. 大學管理層十分重視與教職員和學生的溝通,並透過不同渠道諮詢大學成員的意見。教職員 亦積極與管理層溝通,而代表員工利益的理大教職員協會亦經常與管理層對話。管理層又會 與教職員協會、研究生會和學生會的代表見面,分享彼此的意見和想法。

“ I experienced many difficulties in the transition from secondary to university education.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer when I was in Form 7 and later passed away. The same year, I obtained disappointing results in my A-level examinations and needed to enter a Higher Diploma programme. Yet, all these challenges only served to make me stronger and more resourceful. I was then admitted to PolyU’s undergraduate programme, and I have fully utilized my three years of university life and the many learning opportunities offered by PolyU to better equip myself for future challenges.”

“ 由中學過渡到到大學期間,我經歷了很多困難。中七時,母親被診斷患上癌症,後來去世 了。同年,我在高級程度會考的成績未如理想,需要修讀高級文憑課程。然而,這些挑戰 令我變得更堅強、更懂得應變。之後我入讀理大的學士課程,充分利用三年大學生活及理 大提供的多個學習機會,好好裝備自己迎接將來的挑戰。” – Mr Liu Man-kit 2008 Most Outstanding PolyU Student of the Year 廖文傑 二零零八年度理大最卓越學生

Shining examples 卓越典範 During the year, PolyU students actively participated in a wide range of local and international competitions, both to showcase their talents and creative ideas, and to build up their skills and confidence. 年內,理大學生積極參加多個本地及國際賽事,除了展露他們的才華及創意外,亦透過參與比賽提升技能及增強信心。

Mechanical engineering students Mr Lin Wing-kit, Miss Kwok Ka-yan and Miss Lam So-wah won the First Runnerup prize in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers International’s Student Contest Final. Led by academic advisor Ir Lo Kok-keung, the team designed and built a robot capable of washing a window pane autonomously. The PolyU students beat teams from around Asia-Pacific to advance to the final in Boston, where they competed against 12 teams from the US and Canada. It was the first time that an institution from Hong Kong received a major award in this international competition. 機械工程學生林榮傑、郭嘉茵、林素華在美國機械工程師學會舉行 的國際工程學生設計大賽中取得亞軍。在學術顧問盧覺強工程師的 領導下,理大代表隊設計及製造了一具可以遙遠控制的自動抹窗機 械人。理大代表隊擊敗了亞太區的參賽隊伍而晉身總決賽,在波士 頓與十二隊來自美國及加拿大的大學代表隊競賽。這是首次有香港 院校打入這項國際賽事的三甲之內。

Undaunted by the continuing deterioration in his physical condition due to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, Mr Lau Hiu-fung, a student from the Department of Computing, won a Gold Award at the 2009 Amway Pan-Pearl River Delta Region Universities IT Project Competition, and another gold award in the U-21 category of the Hong Kong RFID Awards 2009. He received the awards for his final year project “RFID/SMS-based Flight Information and Advertisement System”. 電子計算學系學生劉曉鋒,雖然患上杜興氏肌肉營養不良症引致身體狀況持續惡化,但 他憑著不屈不撓的精神,在二零零九年泛珠三角安利杯大學生計算機作品賽及香港無線 射頻識別大獎U-21組別中,憑畢業作品「基於射頻識別及短信通訊技術的航班與廣告資 訊系統」勇奪金獎。

Areas of Excellence Molecular Technology for Drug Discovery and Synthesis Our research in chirotechnology produced further pioneering results. In addition to developing highly effective new chiral catalysts, the University successfully developed novel drug leads. These showed promising in vitro and in vivo anti-cancer activities against human carcinomas, and better efficacy and safety indexes compared to some clinically used anti-cancer drugs. The preliminary results of the anti-cancer actions of the chiral compounds have attracted interest from experts in the pharmaceutical industry and collaborations with industrial companies are being pursued. In another exciting advance, our Open Laboratory of Chirotechnology has gained important recognition from the Ministry of Science and Technology, which has given preliminary approval for PolyU to establish a State Key

It has been an enterprising and rewarding 12 months for PolyU, as shown from the progress and development we made on numerous fronts. The University is fully geared up for the preparations needed for Hong Kong’s historic switch from a three-year degree system to four years in 2012. While the move will pose great challenges, PolyU sees it as an opportunity to make exciting advances in higher education, benefiting students and the community at large. The way ahead also holds great promise for our research and development, which has powered


forward locally, nationally, regionally and internationally, enabling PolyU to continually raise its profile and contribute to social and economic development. Through growing links with the world outside Hong Kong, including our relationships with the Chinese mainland and overseas, PolyU is enhancing its national and global presence and firmly establishing its position as a leading teaching and research institution with an internationalized campus. The times ahead in an increasingly competitive global education arena and a world that must rapidly work towards sustainable development will require drive, a spirit of adventure, and a willingness to explore new ways of working and living.

Appendix I

附錄一

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University University Governance Statement Principles The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is committed to the principles of good governance so as to ensure that the University is ‘fit for its purpose’ – as an institution of teaching and research, which also provides consultancy and other professional services to the community. These principles emphasize academic freedom and autonomy, performance in terms of added value to student education and academic advancement, public accountability and social responsibility, transparency, ethics and professionalism. These principles are to be upheld through the following provisos:

1. Academic freedom and autonomy PolyU will uphold and defend academic freedom and institutional autonomy so as to ensure that its education and academic pursuits are not subject to undue intervention.

2. Performance, ethics and professionalism The University will strive for exemplary performance with the highest possible standards of professionalism and ethics and seek to provide high quality services at a reasonable and affordable cost.

3. Transparency and public accountability The Council and the Management of the University will conduct their activities in a transparent manner, subject to legal restrictions and the need to protect the overall interests of the University.

4. Social responsibility The University will strive to fulfil its social responsibilities. As such, the University will, as far as is reasonable and possible, facilitate the participation of its staff and students in community development activities and public services.

Structures and processes PolyU is committed to the mission of achieving academic excellence in a professional context. The emphasis is to provide holistic education and training so as to equip students with all-round personal development as well as professional knowledge and skills through application-oriented programmes, and to undertake research, emphasizing those of an applied nature which are relevant to industrial, commercial and community needs. Towards this end, the University recognizes the importance of establishing and implementing an effective framework of governance and management in directing and monitoring its operation and financial performance. The University has put in place the following governance structures and processes:

1. Council The Council of PolyU is composed of members appointed in accordance with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University Ordinance. The majority of Council members, including the Council Chairman, are external to the University. As the supreme governing body of the University, Council will do its best to govern the University by ensuring effective management of the University by the University Management team led by its President who is the Chief Executive Officer of the University. All Council members are expected to provide support and advice to the University so as to ensure its well-being and sustainable development. Council members will diligently and faithfully discharge their duties in the best interests of the public, the University’s students, employees and other sectors of the University community.

2. Council committees The Council will appoint standing Committees to support the governance of the major activities of the University. These Committees will include, but not be limited to, an Executive Committee, an Estate Committee, a Finance Committee and an Audit Committee. These committees will discharge their responsibilities according to the terms of reference 96

Appendices


prescribed by Council. The Council may also appoint ad hoc Committees or equivalent to take on matters of particular importance.

3. Senate The Council will appoint a Senate, as provided in the University’s Ordinance, to act as the supreme body in the academic governance of the institution. Senate is chaired by the President, with membership drawn from different quarters of the University community.

4. Management The University adopts an executive-led management system in which executives will assume full responsibility and accountability for their respective portfolios and will be given corresponding authority for the purpose of discharging their responsibilities. University executives are expected to exercise their authorities in an equitable, fair and compassionate manner, and to make decisions after adequate consultation in a collegial spirit through various formal and informal processes which cover div erse perspectives to facilitate executives in reaching balanced and informed decisions.

5. Internal control and external reporting The University Management will ensure high-level performance and cost-effectiveness in all aspects of the University’s academic and service operations through appropriate delegation of responsibility and authority as well as the deployment of check-and-balance mechanisms. It will also maintain an effective internal control system to appropriately monitor the exercise of executive authorities, safeguard the University’s assets and ensure their appropriate use or disposition, maintain proper accounts and records, and comply with relevant legal and regulatory requirements as well as to ensure appropriate risk management. The University will publish an annual report and audited financial statements after the end of each financial year. To provide an objective and independent review of the financial reporting of the University and to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of financial resources, an external auditor is appointed by the University to conduct an annual audit of its financial statements. The Audit Committee will provide an independent review of the effectiveness of the financial reporting process, internal audit process, internal control system and risk management of the University. The Audit Committee will receive reports from both the internal and external auditors and will ensure their adequate and fair disclosure in the University’s annual accounts, and the appropriate development, maintenance and implementation of control measures to address risks.

6. Human Resources Management The University is a caring employer for all its employees, offering equal opportunity to qualified and suitable persons. It will provide a favourable and facilitating environment and opportunities for employees’ career advancement. The University will endeavour to provide competitive compensation and benefits to its employees so as to attract and retain quality employees to provide high quality education services. The Council will determine the employment policy and terms of employment of the University’s employees while the President, under delegated authority of the Council, will determine the terms of employment of individual employees in accordance with established regulations and procedures. Management will establish and implement an effective system and mechanism to handle staff grievances and appeals in a fair and reasonable manner.

(一)學術自由和自主 理大堅守和捍衛學術自由和制度上的自主,以確保教育和學術追求不會受到不適當的干預。

(二)表現、道德和專業 理大以最高的專業和道德標準為依歸,追求卓越的表現,並以合理和可負擔的成本提供高質素的服務。

(三)透明度和公眾問責 大 學 校 董 會 和 管 理 層 執 行 職 務 時 , 當 在 法 律 約 制 和 維 護 理 大 整 體 利 益 的 前 提 下 , 保 持 適 當 的 透明度。

(四)社會責任 理大致力履行其社會責任,據此,理大會盡量在合理和可能的情況下,為教職員和學生參與社會建設 活動及公眾服務提供方便。

架構及治事程序 理大致力追求以專業為基礎的卓越學術成就。我們著重提供全人教育,培育學生的全面 發展,並透過以應用為本的課程,向學生傳授專業知識與技能。同時,理大亦致力進行 應用研究,以配合工商界及社會的需要。為達致以上目標,大學必須建立有效的管治及 管理架構,藉以指導及監察大學的運作與財政管理。理大的管治架構及治事程序如下﹕

(一)校董會 理大校董會成員乃按照《香港理工大學條例》委任。大部分校董會成員,包括主席,均為校外人士。 作為大學最高的管治機構,校董會須盡力執行管治工作,藉以確保以校長為首的大學管理層能夠有效 地管理大學。校董會成員有責任向大學提供意見和協助,務求為大學謀福祉及確保其持續發展。校董 會成員須忠誠地盡力履行職務,並以公眾、學生、員工及大學的整體利益為依歸。

(二)校董會轄下委員會 校董會可委任常設委員會,藉以支援大學主要活動的管治工作。這些委員會包括常務委員會、物業委 員會、財務委員會、審核委員會等。委員會數目可按需要而增加。各委員會按照校董會訂下的職權範 圍執行職務。校董會亦可以就個別重要事項設立臨時委員會或同類組織。

(三)教務委員會 校董會依照大學條例設立教務委員會,作為管治大學學術事務的最高組織。教務委員會由校長擔任主 席,成員則來自大學不同的單位。

(四)管理層 理大採取行政主導的管理模式,管理人員獲賦予相關權力執掌職務,同時亦須為其職務問責。他們須 以公平、公正及體恤的態度執行職務,在制定政策時,須透過正式及非正式渠道進行適當諮詢,廣納 意見,務求作出深思熟慮、不偏不倚的決定。

(五)內部監管及對校外的 披 露 大學管理層透過下放權力,並採取制衡措施,確保大學在學術及各項服務均能達致高水準及符合成 本效益。大學設有有效的內部監管制度,以監察行政權力的運用;保護大學資產,並確保資產恰當運 用;保持清楚賬目及紀錄;遵守有關法律及規管條文,以及確保適當的風險管理。

Appendices


大學將於每個財政年度後出版年報及經審核的財務報表。為確保大學以高透明度及問責態度運用資 源,大學每年均委任校外核數師,負責審核大學的財務報表,並就大學的財務報告方式提供客觀和獨 立的意見。 審核委員會須就大學的財務匯報程序、內部稽核程序、內部監管制度及風險管理的成效進行獨 立檢討。校內的稽核處和校外核數師須向審核委員會提交報告。審核委員會須確保核數師報告 中的資料在大學的年度賬目適當披露,並確保大學採取適當行動及執行監管措施管理風險。

(六)人力資源管理 作為關懷員工的僱主,大學為符合資格及合適的人士提供平等機會,並為員工提供有利環境及機會, 協助他們個人事業的提升。 大 學 致 力 提 供 具 競 爭 力 的 薪 酬 及 福 利 , 藉 以 吸 引 及 保 留 優 秀 員 工 , 為 社 會 提 供 優 質 的 教 育 和 服務。 校董會負責釐訂大學員工的聘用及服務條款政策。校長獲校董會授權,根據規例及程序決定個別員工 的聘用條款。 大學管理層須訂立及執行有效機制,公平及合理地處理員工的申訴。 * 此譯文以校董會通過的英文原文為本
