CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD

主席序言

A Bright Perspective 勵學利民前景遠大

Over the past few decades, economic growth and urbanization have enhanced the quality of life of millions of people, but at the same time, they have given rise to concerns about our environment. Short-term expansion without thinking about sustainable development will only incur greater long-term costs, resulting in a degraded planet.

過去數十年，經濟增長和城市化令數以百萬計的人改善生活，但同時亦對我們的環境構成影響。若只著眼近期的開發，罔顧可持續發展，地球環境將日益惡化，大家都要付出沉重的代價。

The prospects for our future wellbeing may be worrisome, yet I believe there is reason to be hopeful. In a recent talk I gave to students, I cited a book that has deeply impressed me: Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think by Peter H. Diamandis and Steven Kotler. According to the authors, the accelerating pace of technology and innovation in today’s world will enable us to make greater gains in the next two decades than we have in the previous two hundred years. They feel that through advances in technology, we will have a future where everyone will have access to clean water, food, energy, health care and education.

人類未來的福祉或許令人擔憂，但我仍懷抱希望。最近我在一場講座與同學分享一本令我印象深刻的書： Peter H. Diamandis 和 Steven Kotler 著作的《豐足：未來較你所想為佳》（Abundance: The Future Is Better Than You Think）。作者指出，今時今日的科技發展和創新發明正以急速的步伐推進，我們未來二十年所取得的成就，將遠超越過去二百年來的收穫。作者相信通過科技的發展，在明日世界，每個人都可享有清潔的水、食物、能源、醫療保健和教育。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD

This should give us cause for optimism, particularly at PolyU where we have a pivotal role to play in promoting social good for a better world. Indeed, this is part of the University’s mission of “advancing knowledge and the frontiers of technology to meet the changing needs of society”.

我們，特別是理大同仁，應為此感到鼓舞，因為理大在謀求社會福祉，創造更美好世界方面一直肩負重任。理大的其中一項使命就是：「推動知識創新，拓展科技前沿，以回應不斷變化的社會需求」。

Over the years, PolyU has been creating knowledge and technology and making contributions to sustainable advancement for a better future. Our research and innovations in different disciplines have been providing solutions to issues about urban sustainability and other challenges. These have included optical fibre sensor technology for monitoring structural health and safety of trains and tracks, structural health monitoring system for life-cycle screening of mega-structures, hydro-power generation system for water pipes, nano-particles that clean water, energy-saving single ring yarn technology and eco-blocks made of recycled solid waste, to name just a few.

多年來，理大致力創造知識和技術，為可持續發展作出貢獻，成就美好未來。我們在不同範疇的創新科研，為城市可持續發展議題及其他挑戰提供解決方案。這些項目包括：監測鐵路結構健康與安全的光纖傳感技術、大型結構壽命週期健康監測系統、附置於水管的新型水力發電系統、納米潔淨水質技術、可節能的低扭矩環錠單紗技術，以及由固體廢料循環再造的環保磚等。

PolyU’s Research Institute for Sustainable Urban Development (RISUD) is an excellent example of interdisciplinary collaboration advocating the application of technology for a sustainable world. During the year, RISUD has expanded to include a total of 31 research groups who are hard at work tackling challenges such as air pollution, heat island effects, energy-saving in buildings and solid waste management.

理大可持續城巿發展研究院是透過跨學科協作，倡導以應用科技推動世界持續發展的典型例子。年內，研究院的研究小組已經增至三十一個，並且一直努力不懈應付空氣污染、熱島效應、大廈節能及固體廢物管理等種種挑戰。

On the education side, technology has also made an enormous impact on teaching and learning for the good of society. With the emergence of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC), courses offered by the world’s best universities are now made available to anyone who has access to the Internet. I am pleased to report that PolyU has become a member of edX during the year and will be launching MOOCs on edX in the near future.

教育方面，科技亦對教學和學習帶來重大的影響，同時為社會帶來裨益。大型開放式網絡課程的出現，讓全球頂尖學府得以為任何可使用互聯網的人士，提供網上課程。年內，理大加入了edX，成為此大型開放式網絡課程平台的成員，並將推出大型開放式網絡課程。

理大年報 2013/14 | 主席序言

Service Learning – hallmark of PolyU education

服務學習全人教育

University education plays an important part in one’s life pursuit, and I totally agree with President Tong that our younger generation should be encouraged to become “practical dreamers” who have the passion and courage to pursue their dreams as well as the ability to turn dreams into reality.

大學教育對人生的追求有重大的影響。我十分認同校長唐偉章教授所言，他認為要鼓勵下一代成為「講求實效的夢想家」— 有熱誠和勇氣追夢，同時亦有能力將夢想變為現實。

At PolyU, we spare no effort in equipping our students with the professional expertise, communication, problem-solving and entrepreneurial skills that will help them follow their passions in life and career.

理大致力培育學生的專業才能，以及溝通、解難和創業技巧，讓他們裝備充足，然後追求生命中及事業上的理想。

Beyond this, we also try to instil a sense of higher purpose, to have students look outside their own personal and career ambitions and aspire to become ethical leaders. To that end, PolyU has taken the lead to introduce a credit-bearing Service Learning requirement for all students regardless of discipline. The Service Learning Programme connects professional education with the society, providing our students with opportunities to better appreciate societal issues and challenges from a wider perspective, and inspire them to bring positive changes to the world.

理大亦希望學生有崇高的抱負，除了追尋個人及事業上的目標，也渴望成為一個立於仁德的領導人才。為此，我們率先推出服務學習學分計劃，供所有學系的同學修讀，服務學習將專業教育與社會聯繫起來，讓學生有機會從宏觀角度理解不同的社會議題和挑戰，並啟發他們為世界帶來正向改變。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | CHAIRMAN’S FOREWORD

During 2013/14, some 1,900 students have enrolled on 38 Service Learning subjects offered by academic departments, covering a wide range of service projects. Among them, 136 students participated in Service Learning initiatives in Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Rwanda while more than 300 took part in projects in the Chinese mainland. Feedback from students have been very encouraging and we aim to have eventually around 70 Service Learning subjects to offer students enough diverse opportunities, both in terms of the area of knowledge involved and the type of stakeholders served. I take this chance to appeal for community support and partnership to provide more service learning opportunities for our students.

2013/14年度有近一千九百名學生參與學系開辦的三十八個服務學習科目，涵蓋不同範疇的社會服務。當中，一百三十六名學生遠赴柬埔寨、印尼、緬甸及盧旺達提供服務；另有三百多名學生在中國內地參與服務學習項目。學生的反饋令人鼓舞，我們的目標是開辦約七十個服務學習課程，為學生提供多元機會，使他們應用不同學科知識服務社群，亦可以服務不同類型的持份者。藉此機會，我呼籲社會各界支持和共同合作，為理大學生提供更多服務學習的機會。

Progress with community support

夥伴協作走在前沿

PolyU has been very fortunate throughout the year to have secured the continuing support of partners and friends who share our vision in education, research and service to the community.

理大在教育、科研和服務社會各方面的願景一直廣受認同。過去一年，我們得到合作夥伴和各界友好慷慨支持，實在深感榮幸。

The Jockey Club Innovation Tower, which houses the School of Design and the new Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation, was officially opened on 18 March 2014, thanks to the generous sponsorship of The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust. This iconic Zaha Hadid building is set to become the hub of design education and the cradle of many splendid new ideas for social good.

由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金資助的賽馬會創新樓已於2014年3月18日正式啟用，此標誌性大樓由扎哈•哈迪德（Zaha Hadid）設計，是理大設計學院和新成立的賽馬會社會創新設計院的總部，日後將成為設計教育界的樞紐，以及社會創新思維的搖籃。

理大年報 2013/14 | 主席序言

We try to instil a sense of higher purpose, to have students look outside their own personal and career ambitions and aspire to become ethical leaders. 理大亦希望學生有崇高的抱負，除了追尋個人及事業上的目標，也渴望成為一個立於仁德的領導人才。

With strong support from the aviation industry and the Government, PolyU co-founded with Boeing Hong Kong’s first Aviation Services Research Centre (ASRC) and celebrated the opening of Phase One of the Centre on 13 November 2013. I have great confidence that the ASRC will further enhance Hong Kong’s position as a world-class service provider of MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) and steer the development of aviation-related industries in the region.

在航空業界和政府的襄助下，理大與波音公司共同創立的香港首間航空服務研究中心的第一期設施，已於2013年11月13日正式開幕。我深信研究中心將進一步提升香港作為世界級飛機維修工程服務商的地位，並帶領區內航空相關行業的發展。

Working towards a better future

同心同德成就未來

PolyU takes pride in our contributions to society at various stages of its development in terms of manpower development, creation and transfer of knowledge and technology as well as service to the community. Looking ahead, social responsibility will continue to be an important guiding principle of the University in all of its endeavours. PolyU academics will continue to engage in high-impact research aiming to tackle global challenges. We are also determined to develop graduates who are not only competent professionals, but also caring members of the society with passion and a serving heart. With the concerted efforts of Council and Court Members and our dedicated team of staff members, as well as the unfailing support of our alumni, partners and friends, I am confident that PolyU will continue to contribute towards making our world a better place.

理大在其發展的不同階段中，無論是培訓人力資源、創造和轉移知識與技術，以及服務社會方面都作出了貢獻，我們以此為傲。展望未來，履行社會責任將繼續成為大學的重要發展方向。此外，理大學者孜孜不倦地投入具影響力的研究工作，以應付全球性的挑戰。我們矢志培育畢業生成為能幹的專業人才，並且關懷及樂於服務社群。透過校董會成員、大學顧問委員會成員及教職員團隊的同心協力，以及校友、合作夥伴及各界友好的鼎力支持，我深信理大將可繼續大有所為，成就更美好的世界。

PRESIDENT’S OVERVIEW

校長報告

Our Strength is Innovation Our Focus is the Future 矢志創新放眼未來 One of the defining characteristics of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is our focus on meeting the needs of business, industry and the community through education and research. This approach has served us well over the years, which is evidenced by the quality of professional education programmes we offer and the innovative research we conduct. During the 2013/14 academic year, we continued to build on this distinctive heritage for the benefit of our students, our staff and society at large.

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | PRESIDENT’S OVERVIEW

透過教育和科研回應商界、業界和社區的需要，是香港理工大學（理大）其中一項重要特質。理大一直依循這個方向發展，致力提供優質專業教育課程和進行卓越創新科研，成績有目共睹。2013/14學年，我們繼續秉承這優良傳統，努力不懈為學生、教職員和社會謀求福祉。

New perspectives in learning

嶄新視野豐富學習

To tie in with the reform of the higher education sector in 2012, which changed from a 3-year to a 4-year system, we implemented a new undergraduate curriculum with a view to nurturing our students to succeed in their chosen professions and to develop into all-round global citizens. We are constantly evaluating the curriculum to ensure the quality and competitiveness of our programmes, and using various tools to gauge the effectiveness of the learning outcomes and to examine student feedback.

為配合高等教育界於2012年將三年制改為四年制，理大推行了新本科課程，旨在培育學生成為出色的專業人才，以及發展全面的世界公民。我們就課程持續作出檢討，以確保其質素和競爭優勢，並採用多項評估工具衡量學習成果及蒐集學生對課程的意見。

Through the General University Requirements and their major study, students completing the new curriculum will develop better critical thinking, effective communication and innovative problem-solving skills, as well as the attributes of lifelong learning, professional competence and ethical leadership. In short, it is designed to broaden students’ horizons and promote their holistic development during their undergraduate years.

在新學制下，學生修讀大學核心課程及主修科目，可以發展成為敏於思辨、善於溝通、富於創見、精於解難、樂於學習、立於仁德的專業領導人才。總括來說，課程的設計是希望學生在大學階段擴濶其視野及促進全人發展。

I believe it is vital to expose our students to new experiences that enrich their education and provide them with opportunities to apply their professional knowledge in order to make a difference in people’s lives. These objectives are at the forefront of our Service-Learning programmes. In June 2014, I joined some 80 PolyU students to Cambodia, where they applied their professional knowhow to serve more than 700 underprivileged villagers. The PolyU service team largely comprised computing, hotel and tourism management and optometry students.

我深信讓學生有新體驗，以豐富他們的學習經歷，並給予他們學以致用及改善他人生活的機會，皆極為重要，這亦是服務學習課程的首要目標。2014年6月，我與八十位理大學生一起前往柬埔寨參與服務學習，他們運用專業知識，服務當地七百多名貧困村民。理大服務團隊主要由電子計算學、酒店及旅遊業管理學及眼科視光學的學生組成。

理大年報 2013/14 | 校長報告

In Cambodia, the PolyU community developed e-Learning labs for school children, conducted eye screening checks for HIV+ orphans and children in slum areas, and trained guesthouse staff in hospitality, food services, marketing and management. In addition to these services, they visited elderly people living alone and undertook census surveys of slum villagers. To the students, this was an inspiring process and life-changing experience, opening up both their minds and hearts.

在柬埔寨期間，理大師生提供的服務包括：為學童建立網上學習教室、為愛滋病孤兒和貧民窟的兒童驗眼，以及培訓旅舍員工的接待、餐飲服務、營銷和管理技巧。此外，理大師生亦探訪了獨居長者，並為貧民區居民進行人口普查。對參與服務的學生而言，這是一次極具啟發性的旅程，也是一次改變生命的體驗，開拓了他們的思想和心靈。

Excellence in research and innovation

卓越科研超凡創意

At PolyU, we are highly cognizant of the role that technology plays in a knowledge-based economy and its growing importance in enhancing economic growth and global competitiveness. The technological breakthroughs that we have developed through our research initiatives have had major impacts enhancing people’s lives.

理大深明科技在知識型經濟扮演的角色，以及它對提高經濟增長及全球競爭力的重要性。我們的科研項目帶來了不少科技突破，對改善人類生活有重大的貢獻。

Among the many research projects that have been conducted at PolyU, I am particularly proud of the Camera Pointing System that was instrumental in capturing vivid images of the moon and movements of the lunar rover during the Chang’e-3 moon exploration mission in December 2013. Developed together with the China Academy of Space Technology, the system is a true testament of the nation’s technological advancement and that of our researchers.

在眾多科研項目中，我對「相機指向機構系統」特別引以為傲。2013年12月的嫦娥三號探月工程，此系統使月貌和月球巡視器的移動情況得以清晰地拍攝下來。系統由理大與中國空間技術研究院合力研發，標誌著國家和理大科研團隊在科技發展上的重大成就。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | PRESIDENT’S OVERVIEW

It is vital to expose our students to new experiences that enrich their education and provide them with the opportunities to apply their professional knowledge in order to make a difference in people’s lives. 讓學生有新體驗，以豐富他們的學習經歷，並給予他們學以致用及改善他人生活的機會，皆極為重要，這亦是服務學習課程的首要目標。

Our research with practical value has complemented our efforts in internationalization. The PolyU-developed optical fibre sensing technologies using Fiber Bragg Grating sensors for automatic monitoring of subsidence as well as the research on vibration control in railway systems are obvious examples. These technologies have not only been applied to railways in Hong Kong, but also to high-speed rail in the Chinese mainland and other countries around the world. In short, our innovative technology has helped us shine on the international arena.

理大具實用價值的研究亦加強我們國際化的工作。例如理大開發的光纖傳感技術，以光纖光柵技術為藍本自動監測沉降，以及研究控制振動，有助鐵路系統的運作。這些技術除了應用於香港鐵路，亦應用於中國內地高鐵，更推廣至世界不同的國家。即是說，理大的創新科技，讓我們在國際的舞台上大放光芒。

These achievements were a few of the many innovative research projects that have been conducted at PolyU. At the 42nd International Exhibition of Inventions in Geneva, Switzerland, PolyU researchers scooped 11 awards, including one Grand Prize, one Special Gold Medal, three Special Awards, four Gold Medals and two Silver Medals.

上述項目只是理大眾多創新科研計劃中的一部分。在瑞士日內瓦舉行的第四十二屆國際發明展上，理大科研人員囊括了十一個獎項，包括一項特別大獎、一項特別金獎、三項特別獎、四項金獎及兩項銀獎。

Internationalization of our student body and faculty

多元社群國際色彩

Our students and faculty body are becoming increasingly diverse as PolyU gains stature in the international academic community. In our School of Hotel and Tourism Management, to cite but one example, we have staff from 19 countries and regions, while our current bachelor’s and sub-degree programmes have attracted students from 22 countries. In our taught postgraduate programmes, we have students from 23 countries.

隨著理大的國際學術地位日漸提升，大學的學生及教員社群愈見多元化。以酒店及旅遊業管理學院為例，教員分別來自十九個國家及地區。理大本學年的學士及副學位課程亦吸引了來自二十二個國家的學生入讀；授課式深造課程的學生則來自二十三個國家。

As PolyU becomes more internationalized, we are adopting a much broader perspective in our curricula to better equip students as global citizens, and increase the opportunities for international exchange and internships.

隨著理大愈趨國際化，我們的課程範疇亦更廣濶，以培育學生成為世界公民，我們亦積極增加學生參與國際交流及海外實習的機會。

To expand PolyU’s global reach, we have formed strategic partnerships with leading universities throughout the world, as well as with overseas professional associations, institutes and employers. This is enabling us to achieve greater impact in our research activities and provide more far-ranging educational opportunities for our students.

為拓展環球網絡，理大與全球眾多頂尖大學、海外專業協會、學術機構及僱主組成策略夥伴，讓大學的科研活動為世界帶來更深遠的影響，並為學生提供更廣泛的學習機會。

理大年報 2013/14 | 校長報告

We have also continued our mandatory Work-Integrated Education initiative, a unique feature of the University’s undergraduate curriculum since 2005. In 2013/14 alone, we successfully secured local and offshore internship opportunities in leading organizations for more than 900 PolyU students. Internship positions were made available in the Chinese mainland, including Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing and Hangzhou, and overseas in Australia, Canada, Germany, Russia, Turkey, the UK and the USA.

年內，我們繼續推行校企協作教育，這必修項目自2005年起，成為理大本科課程的一項特色。2013/14年度，我們成功安排九百多名學生在本港及到海外大機構實習。他們踏足的內地城巿包括北京、上海、南京和杭州；海外國家則包括澳洲、加拿大、德國、俄羅斯、土耳其、英國及美國。

Campus development continues

校園發展與時並進

During the 2013/14 academic year, we made significant progress in our plans to develop and expand our campus. Most notably, we opened the Jockey Club Innovation Tower on 18 March 2014. This landmark building will best showcase our strengthened commitment to design innovation for the betterment of society. It houses PolyU’s world-renowned School of Design, currently in its 50th year, and the newly inaugurated Jockey Club Design Institute for Social Innovation. Now in operation, the Tower is rapidly becoming a symbol of Hong Kong’s role as a design hub in Asia.

2013/14學年，我們在校園發展及擴建方面亦有重大的進展。2014年3月18日賽馬會創新樓開幕，成為年度盛事。此地標大樓展示了理大透過推動設計創意以改善社會的承擔。作為成立五十周年且享負盛名的理大設計學院，以及新成立的賽馬會社會創新設計院的總部，此大樓旋即成為香港作為亞洲設計樞紐的象徵。

We have also made further progress with our Block X redevelopment plan, which will see a dilapidated two-storey temporary building converted for use by the Aviation Services Research Centre. It is scheduled for completion in mid to end 2017. Regarding the Ho Man Tin campus extension, we applied to have the site at the Ho Man Tin slope rezoned for “Government, Institution or Community” use and this was partially agreed by the Town Planning Board at its Metro Planning Committee Meeting on 9 May 2014.

理大的 X 座重建計劃亦有進展，這座破舊的兩層高臨時建築物，將改建為航空服務研究中心，預期於2017年中至後期竣工。何文田校園擴展計劃亦取得進展，城巿規劃委員會的都會規劃小組委員會已於2014年5月9日部分同意我們的申請，將何文田斜坡地段改劃為「政府、機構或社區」地帶。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | PRESIDENT’S OVERVIEW

To overcome the challenges of poor air quality and unsatisfactory connectivity in the vicinity of PolyU, the University has also proposed the construction of a Green Deck over the Cross Harbour Tunnel plaza. In addition to connecting the PolyU campus with Hung Hom MTR, the 43,000 sq. m. deck area will accommodate recreational, cultural and sports facilities while tackling problems and fostering sustainable development in the district.

為解決理大周邊空氣質素欠佳及區內往來不便的問題，大學提出在紅磡海底隧道收費廣場上興建一個綠色平台。建議中的綠色平台面積達四萬三千平方米，除連接理大校園至紅磡港鐵站，同時可容納各種康樂、文化及體育設施，一併解決區內問題及推動持續的發展。

Human resources development on track

人力資源循序發展

During the year, we introduced the Salary Review and Reward System, with the objective of linking staff appraisal outcomes with merit-based salary adjustment, thus rewarding staff with outstanding performance and motivating them to deliver their best.

為提倡績效文化，我們年內推行了薪酬檢討及獎勵制度，目的是將員工評核結果與績效薪酬調整掛鈎，藉此獎勵表現卓越的員工，並鼓勵他們爭取最佳表現。

In order to attract and retain high calibre staff, we also commissioned a management consultant firm to conduct a comprehensive review of PolyU’s pay structure and compensation packages, taking into account the current market situation, pay trends, benefit levels in local and overseas markets, and the financial situation of the University. Following the review, we enhanced the remuneration package under New Terms by adjusting salary ranges upwards and improving some benefits.

為延攬及挽留人才，我們委託管理顧問公司對理大的薪酬結構及福利制度進行全面的檢討，並考慮現時的巿場情況、薪酬趨勢、本地及海外巿場的福利情況，以及大學的財務狀況等因素。完成檢討後，我們優化了新聘任條款下的薪酬福利，包括上調了薪酬幅度及改善了部分員工福利項目。

The year ahead

籌劃未來展翅翱翔

On 25 November 2014, PolyU reached a significant milestone in its history — the 20th anniversary of it gaining full university status. PolyU has indeed come far in its nearly eight-decade-long history, evolving from a government trade school to a technical college, then a polytechnic, and finally gaining university status. While we can be justly proud of what we have achieved in education and in research, we look forward to achieving even more in the next 20 years and beyond.

2014年11月25日是理大歷史的重要里程碑 – 理大正式取得大學地位二十周年。過去近八十年，大學從一所官立高級工業學院發展至工業專門學院，再蛻變至理工學院，最後正式取得大學地位。我們為教學和科研的成就感到自豪的同時，亦期盼在下一個二十年及往後日子取得更大的成就。

I would like to thank the University Council, staff, students, alumni and partners for their commitment and support to making PolyU a world-class university. PolyU is a place to pursue dreams, to improve lives and build a brighter future. Working hand-in-hand, we are ready to take the University to the next level of excellence.

我衷心感謝校董會、教職員、學生、校友及合作夥伴的鼎力支持，協力同心將理大發展成為一所世界級的大學。理大是追逐夢想之地，我們一直以造福社會及創建更美好的未來為己任。讓我們繼續協力同心，推動大學再攀高峰。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | LEARNING AND TEACHING

Effective use of peer instruction approach

有效應用同儕教學法

PolyU has accumulated considerable experience in using peer instruction with students’ response system to actively engage students in large classes. Data collected from student focus groups show that most believe peer instruction approach has enhanced learning efficiency and understanding of their competency levels, while helping to promote an engaging interactive learning environment.

理大在融合同儕教學法與即時答問系統方面已累積了豐富的經驗，讓學生在大班教學環境中能夠積極學習。從學生焦點小組所得出的數據顯示，大多數學生認為這種教學方法有助於提高學習效率，能夠讓學生了解自己的程度，並促進一個投入和互動的學習環境。

Supported by additional UGC funding, PolyU is collaborating with Chinese University of Hong Kong to further develop and promote the use of this teaching method at both universities. The project involves working with the pioneers of peer instruction, Prof. Eric Mazur and the Mazur Group at Harvard University, to explore the application of peer instruction and students’ response system in a flipped classroom context, with an emphasis on discussion and critical thinking. The outcome of this project will provide a working model for engaging students in higher order thinking in large classes — currently one of the biggest pedagogical challenges in higher education.

在教資會額外的資助下，理大與香港中文大學攜手合作，進一步在這兩所大學發展及推廣該教學手法，並與此教學法的先驅哈佛大學 Eric Mazur 教授及其團隊，共同探討在翻轉教室中同儕教學法與即時答問系統的運用，重點在於促進學生的討論及批判性思維。本項目的研究成果將於「如何在大班教學環境中誘發學生高層次思考」這個高等教育現正面對的重大教學挑戰中，提供一個可行的範例。

Advancing blended and online teaching

推動混合式及網絡教學

To enrich the learning experience, PolyU has developed a prototype course that will help teachers make the best use of innovative technology-assisted approaches to encourage active learning. This course also provides the foundation for a new inter-institutional project sponsored by UGC and hosted by PolyU. With the collaboration of the Hong Kong Institute of Education, Hong Kong Baptist University, University of Hong Kong and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, the project will develop a systematic and unique blended learning professional development opportunity for local university teachers.

為豐富學習體驗，理大開發了一個範本課程，協助老師更有效地利用創新的科技輔助教學方法，促進學生積極學習。此課程亦為一個教資會資助的聯校項目奠定了基礎。理大作為主辦院校，將聯同香港教育學院、香港浸會大學、香港大學及香港科技大學，共同為本地大學教師打造一個有系統兼獨特的混合式學習專業發展機會。

As a lead participant in the project, PolyU will play a pivotal role in designing and providing teachers from partnering institutions with an authentic and immersive experience in blended and online learning. This will provide a better understanding of how to integrate and embed the use of learning technology. The project as a whole has the potential to create a paradigm shift in learning and teaching within the local higher education sector, enabling it to better support future generations of learners in Hong Kong and beyond.

理大在這個合作項目中擔當領導的角色，為合作院校的教師設計一個真實而深入的混合式及網絡學習體驗，讓他們更理解如何在課程中結合及加插學習科技。整體來說，這項目具備改變本地高等教育教學模式的潛力，使其更有效地為香港及海外日後的學生提供支援。

Improving campus learning environment

優化校園學習環境

A Working Group on the Development of Campus Facilities and Environment for Learning and Teaching was formed in August 2013 with the objective of providing enhanced space, facilities and technological support systems for effective learning and personal development. The Working Group has conducted student and staff surveys on their needs of learning space, taken a visual audit of 208 general learning spaces on campus, and noted best practices in learning space design among local and overseas universities. Several initiatives for learning space improvements are now being planned and launched, such as upgrading and refitting some classrooms into interactive, student-centred learning spaces and creating a studio to support video production for online and blended learning. An experimental learning space has also been set up for the creation and evaluation of innovative learning space prototypes and new teaching and learning technologies.

大學於2013年8月成立了校園教學設施及環境發展促進工作小組，旨在為學生提供可促進學習及個人發展的優化空間、設施與科技支援系統。小組調查了學生及教職員對學習空間的需要，巡察了校內二百零八個一般用途學習空間，更搜集了本地和海外大學學習空間設計的模範。理大正籌劃和推展多項學習環境優化計劃，例如完善和改裝現有課室的設備，使之成為互動並以學生為中心的學習空間；更成立了一個錄影室，以支援影片製作，供網上和混合式學習之用。此外，大學設立了一所「實驗學習空間」，供創造及評估嶄新學習空間和教學科技之用。

NURTURING TALENTS 培育人才

Developing hearts and minds to serve

培養心智服務社群

With the aim of nurturing students into responsible global citizens, the University introduced the mandatory Service-Learning (SL) Requirement during the 2012/13 academic year as part of the new undergraduate degree curriculum. As of June 2014, the Senate had approved 49 SL subjects proposed by 22 academic departments from eight faculties/schools, covering a wide range of service projects. The projects provide students with opportunities to serve the underprivileged, using their professional knowledge and skills, in Hong Kong, the Chinese mainland and overseas.

為培育學生成為負責任的世界公民，大學自2012/13學年起將服務學習納入新本科課程，成為必修科目。截至2014年6月，大學教務委員會共審批通過來自八個學院共二十二個學系的四十九個服務學習科目。這些項目廣泛覆蓋不同範疇的社會服務，為學生提供機會在香港、中國內地及海外，運用專業知識和技能服務弱勢群體。

In 2013/14, the number of subjects offered increased dramatically to 38, with 1,900 students enrolled. A survey conducted in May 2014 of 369 students (15 SL subjects) showed significant improvements in four generic competencies measured, namely, interpersonal effectiveness, teamwork, problem-solving ability and social responsibility.

2013/14學年開辦的服務學習科目大幅增至三十八科，共有一千九百名學生修讀。 2014年5月，大學對其中三百六十九名學生（十五科）進行評估，結果顯示學生的四項通才技能，包括人際關係、團隊精神、解難能力和社會責任感，均有顯著的進步。

理大年報 2013/14 | 學與教

Four overseas SL subjects were offered during the summer of 2014 with the participation of 136 students who went to Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Rwanda. Eight SL projects undertaken by 326 students were also carried out on the Chinese mainland. These offshore SL activities covered a wide range of services, including technology education and development, sustainable rural development, hospitality management, child and adolescent development, cultural heritage preservation, and community healthcare services.

理大在2014年暑期提供了四個海外服務學習項目，一百三十六名學生遠赴柬埔寨、印尼、緬甸及盧旺達參與服務。此外，三百二十六名學生於中國內地開展八個服務學習項目。這些香港以外的服務學習課程範疇廣泛，包括科技教育及發展、農村可持續發展、酒店管理、兒童及青少年發展、文化保育，以及社區醫療服務。

During the year, the Service-Learning Community of Practice continued to support staff by enhancing the design, delivery, assessment and evaluation of SL at PolyU. In addition, the University awarded 74 SL scholarships to students who demonstrated outstanding performance in Service-Learning.

年內，「服務學習實踐社群」繼續支援教職員在校內推展服務學習，促進服務學習的設計、推行、評分標準及評估。大學更頒發七十四個獎學金，以表揚在服務學習方面表現出色的學生。

Work-Integrated Education

校企協作教育

Established in 2005 as a unique feature of PolyU’s undergraduate curriculum, the mandatory Work-Integrated Education (WIE) component requires students to engage in real-world projects or to work as interns in an organizational context. In 2013/14, the Office of Careers and Placement Services secured local and offshore internships in leading organizations. More than 900 PolyU students participated in offshore internships on the Chinese mainland, including Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing and Shanghai, and overseas in Australia, Canada, Germany, Russia, Turkey, the UK and the USA.

自2005年起，必修的校企協作教育成為理大本科課程的其中一大特點，當中要求學生必須參與一些實際工作項目或於機構環境中實習。2013/14年度，就業服務處為學生在本地與海外多家卓越機構爭取到實習機會外，逾九百名學生於內地城市包括北京、杭州、南京和上海，以及海外國家，包括澳洲、加拿大、德國、俄羅斯、土耳其、英國及美國等地進行實習。

Complementary Development Programme

輔學發展計劃

Through the Complementary Development Programme (CDP), students widen their horizons beyond their academic pursuits. In 2013/14, over 35,600 applications were attracted to compete for 11,035 places in 369 CDP courses; 95% of the applicants who were admitted said the content of the courses was useful to them.

透過輔學發展計劃，學生可涉獵學術以外的範疇，擴闊視野。在2013/14年度，輔學發展計劃提供了三百六十九個課程，名額有一萬一千零三十五，申請人數超過三萬五千六百。百分之九十五的參加者表示課程內容讓他們有所得益。

Arts and culture

藝術文化

In 2013/14, the Culture Promotion and Events Office, which is the executive arm of the Culture Promotion Committee, arranged 33 programmes comprising more than 120 activities. Almost 30,000 participants took part in the programmes.

文化推廣委員會的行政部門 — 文化及設施推廣處於2013/14年度舉辦了三十三個節目，合共一百二十多項活動，有接近三萬人參與其中。

One of the year’s cultural highlights was the University’s first inaugural exchange music programme between its University Orchestra and accomplished choirs from St Catharine’s and Queens’ Colleges of the University of Cambridge in the UK. The first exchange concert was held on 1 November 2013 at the Emmanuel United Reformed Church in Cambridge with a full performance of Mozart’s Requiem and the overture to Ave Verum Corpus. The finale concert was held on 12 January 2014 at PolyU campus, featuring the PolyU Orchestra performing Mozart’s Requiem with the Queens’ College Choir. The concerts were a huge success, playing to full houses and earning the acclaim of both universities.

年內其中一個重點節目是理大首次帶領大學管弦樂團到英國與享負盛名的劍橋大學聖凱瑟琳學院及皇后學院合唱團進行音樂交流。第一場交流音樂會於2013年11月1日於劍橋校園以馬內利聯合歸正教堂舉行，理大管弦樂團與兩隊合唱團在音樂會中攜手演繹莫札特的《安魂曲》及《聖體頌》的序曲。2014年1月12日，皇后學院合唱團與理大管弦樂團於理大校園再次演繹莫札特的《安魂曲》，為這交流計劃畫上完美的句號。兩場音樂會均座無虛席，獲得兩所大學社群的一致讚許。

PolyU invited King of Drama Dr Chung King-fai to be the 2013/14 Artist-in-Residence. Under Dr Chung’s leadership, the University for the first time joined with professional drama group, the Hong Kong Federation of Drama Societies, to produce and stage Teahouse, a masterpiece of Lao She. Co-directed by Dr Chung and experienced director Mr Lee Ming-sum, the play was performed in front of an audience of more than 5,200. The production was also an opportunity for over 70 students and staff to gain experience in acting and producing a play, and involved a record number of actors, from under 20 to over 80 years of age, as well as Hong Kong’s largest make-up, lighting, stage and sound crews. A meet-the-artist session together with acting and stage production workshops were also held as part of the Artist-in-Residence programme.

理大邀請到戲劇大師鍾景輝博士為2013-14 年度的駐校藝術家，並在鍾博士的領導下，首次與專業劇團香港戲劇協會攜手製作及公演老舍經典劇作《茶館》，由鍾博士及資深導演李銘森先生擔任導演，吸引超過五千二百名觀眾入場觀賞。七十多位理大學生及教職員藉著這寶貴機會，參與該劇的台前演出及幕後製作，並創下最多演員參演、最強大的化妝師、燈光、舞台及音響設計團隊等紀錄，演員年齡由低於二十歲至八十多歲不等。該「駐校藝術家計劃」亦包括「與戲劇大師鍾景輝博士會面」、「戲劇學堂」演技工作坊，以及「舞台製作體驗課程」。

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | LEARNING AND TEACHING

In another first for the University, PolyU held two performances of the Chinese operatic art of Kunqu that attracted an audience of 2,000. Prof. Pai Hsien-yung, recipient of PolyU’s Honorary Doctor of Letters and a staunch advocate of Kunqu, arranged to have premier national artists Mr Yu Jiulin and Ms Shen Fengying of the Suzhou Kunqu Opera Theatre perform excerpts from The Story of the Jade Hairpin.

理大年內更首次為師生呈獻兩場崑曲演出，吸引多達二千位觀眾。在理大榮譽文學博士兼崑曲重要推手白先勇教授的一力促成下，蘇州崑劇團兩位國家一級演員俞玖林先生及沈豐英女士擔綱演出了《玉簪記》節子選段。

In addition, collaboration continued with major arts groups and Consulate General Offices in Hong Kong to bring important art events to campus. Collaborations included the staging of Chung Ying Theatre’s long-running drama, Tuesdays with Morrie, the Hong Kong Repertory Theatre’s 18/F Flat C, Festive Korea, a recital by Italian pianist Mario Panciroli and Le French May.

此外，大學繼續與主要藝術團體和領事館緊密合作，將藝壇盛事引入校園，包括中英劇團的長壽話劇《相約星期二》、香港話劇團的《十八樓C座》，「韓國十月文化節」、意大利鋼琴演奏家 Mario Panciroli 音樂會，以及「法國五月」。

To cultivate a reading culture, the campus-wide Read@PolyU Programme organized by the Library selected “The Hunger Games” as the common book for 2013/14. Over 2,000 copies were distributed by the Library to first-year undergraduate students and the book was embedded as one of the thematic areas in “Tomorrow’s Leaders” — a General University Requirement course. In collaboration with the English Language Centre, the Library organized a series of discussion sessions, film shows, writing clinics, essay contests, book talks and exhibitions to engage students and the University community.

為培育閱讀文化，圖書館舉辦了READ@PolyU 全校閱讀計劃，向逾二千名學生派發《飢餓遊戲》一書，作為 2013/14年度大一學生的共同讀物，以及大學核心課程「明日領袖」的其中一個專題單元。圖書館又與英語教學中心合辦多場小組討論會、電影放映會、寫作診所、徵文比賽、書籍講座及展覽活動，讓學生及理大社群齊參與。

PROMOTION OF LIFELONG LEARNING 推動終身學習

Through the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE), PolyU offers a wide range of tertiary education opportunities for secondary school leavers and lifelong learners in continuing education programmes. CPCE oversees the operations of two self-financing education units: Hong Kong Community College (HKCC) and the School of Professional Education and Executive Development (SPEED). The 2+2 pathway offered by these two units enables students to earn bachelor degrees by completing a two-year sub-degree programme at HKCC, followed by a two-year SPEED top-up degree programme at the honours level.

理大透過其專業及持續教育學院，提供廣泛的專上教育機會及持續教育課程予中學畢業生及終身學習人士。學院轄下兩個以自負盈虧模式運作的單位，包括香港專上學院及專業進修學院。這兩個單位提供一個「2+2」的進修途徑，學生可以兩年時間修讀香港專上學院的副學位課程，再以兩年時間完成專業進修學院提供的榮譽學士學位銜接課程。

Hong Kong Community College (HKCC)

香港專上學院

In the 2013/14 academic year, HKCC offered 35 associate degree and higher diploma programmes in the arts, sciences, social sciences, business, healthcare and design to around 7,700 students. Over 79% of HKCC graduates articulated to degree studies in 2013, one of the highest articulation rates among sub-degree institutions in Hong Kong.

在2013/14學年，香港專上學院為約七千七百名學生開辦共三十五項副學士及高級文憑課程，範圍涵蓋文、理、社、商、健康護理及設計學等範疇。學院2013年畢業生升讀學士學位的比率超過79%，是全港升學率最高的學院之一。

School of Professional Education and Executive Development (SPEED)

專業進修學院

During the year, graduates of SPEED included students from the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Retail and Service Management programme, the first programme of its kind in Hong Kong. Two new degree programmes to be offered are: Bachelor of Business Administration (Honours) in Accountancy and Bachelor of Science (Honours) Scheme in Applied Sciences with a concentration in Decision Science, Health Studies, and Information Systems and Web Technologies. The new programmes will begin admitting students in September 2014. SPEED also offers self-financing programmes in collaboration with PolyU academic units, including undergraduate programmes and short courses for continuous professional development and lifelong learning.

年內，專業進修學院的畢業生包括來自屬全港首創的零售企業及服務管理（榮譽）文學士課程。此外，兩項新課程將於2014年 9月開始收生，包括會計學（榮譽）工商管理學士課程及應用科學（榮譽）理學士組合課程，涵蓋決策科學、健康學及資訊系統和網絡科技三個範疇。學院亦與理大教學部門合辦自資學士學位、專業進修，以及終身學習課程。

On 22 January 2014, the President’s Awards for Excellent Performance / Achievement (Individual Awards) were presented to the following academic staff: 2014年1月22日，下列教學人員獲頒「校長特設卓越表現／成就獎」（個人獎項）：

TEACHING

教學獎

服務獎

Dr Wong Wai-keung

Prof. Lu Qin

黃偉強博士

陸勤教授

紡織及製衣學系副教授

電子計算學系教授及副系主任

Dr Wong is an inspiring teacher who maximizes student learning. He excels at adopting innovative approaches for strengthening interactive learning environments. In addition to the use of real-life cases, video and hands-on practice, his teaching innovations include the technology-based simulated fashion shop and interactive team-based simulation project. He believes that students not only acquire in-depth subject knowledge but also develop their creativity and critical thinking skills through role-playing in simulated environments.

Prof. Lu is at the global forefront of encoding Chinese characters in computing. Leading an international team of experts from China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, the UK and the US, she developed the combined International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission 10646, providing over 80,000 Chinese characters used on almost all computer platforms.

Developing novel space tools

研發創新太空儀器

PolyU has been continuously expanding its space engineering technologies on several fronts. Recent successes include the Chinese soft landing of Chang’e-3 on 14 December 2013, in which PolyU designed and built a Camera Pointing System for capturing images of the moon’s surface. Jointly developed by PolyU researchers and the China Academy of Space Technology, it is the first Hong Kongdesigned and -manufactured instrument to operate successfully on a celestial body. A lightweight motorized device, it enables vertical and sideways movements of the camera for capturing images of the moon and movement of the rover known as Yutu (Jade Rabbit). All pictures sent back from the moon were taken with the support of this device.

理大正循多個方向發展太空工程技術，近期成功例子包括於2013年12月14日於月面軟着陸的嫦娥三號。其中理大與中國空間技術研究院合力研發的相機指向機構系統是首個香港自行設計及製造，並能成功於外太空運作的儀器。此系統由馬達驅動，體型輕巧，能俯仰及偏航轉動，拍攝月貌全景及監視「玉兔號」月球車。所有從月球傳送返地球的圖片都是在這系統的支援下拍攝的。

Also contributing to the success of the project was Dr Wu Bo of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, whose lunar mapping techniques have been used in the topographical analysis and landing site selection of Chang’e-3.

另外，土地測量及地理資訊學系吳波博士亦為登月項目作出貢獻。他研發的月球測繪技術，為嫦娥三號就著陸區進行地形地貌的分析工作及選取著陸點。

Towards a green IT campus

邁向綠色資訊科技校園

A green University Secondary Data Centre was built in 2013/14, covering an area of 180 square metres. The Centre is a tier-3 (99.98% or above availability) high resilience data centre with lowenergy consumption infrastructure. Also included in the Centre is an internal cloud infrastructure providing a variety of server rental options to departments. Over 400 servers (virtual machines) have been migrated to the University cloud in order to consolidate central servers into a virtual environment and reduce the risks of inadequate distributed server management.

Human resources management

人力資源管理

The first appraisal under the modified Staff Appraisal System for Staff (other than Heads of Department and above levels) was successfully completed in 2013. In pursuit of a performance culture, the University introduced the Salary Review and Reward System (SRRS) linking staff appraisal outcomes with merit-based salary adjustments in order to motivate staff members and reward high performers. The first round of SRRS process was completed smoothly with merit-based salary adjustments paid to staff in May 2014.

經修訂的員工評核制度（系主任、部門主管及以上職級除外）推出後，首次評核已於 2013年順利完成。大學為提倡績效文化，推行了一個薪酬檢討及獎勵制度，目的是將員工評核結果與績效薪酬調整掛鈎，以獎勵表現優秀的員工，並鼓勵他們達致最佳表現。首次績效薪酬調整已順利完成，而員工已於2014年5月份獲發績效薪酬調整。

In order to maintain a competitive position of the University to attract and retain quality staff, the University commissioned a management consultant firm to conduct a comprehensive review of the pay structure and compensation packages under New Terms. The review took into account the current market situation, including pay trend movements, benefit levels in the local and overseas market, and the financial situation of the University. After the review, remuneration packages under New Terms were enhanced with upward adjustments of salary ranges and improvements in the provision of some benefit items. Eligible serving staff members were given a special salary adjustment based on the revised salary ranges.

為維持大學的競爭優勢，以便延攬及挽留人才，大學委托了管理顧問公司對新條款下之薪酬結構及福利制度作出全面檢討，並考慮了現時的市場情況、本地及海外市場的薪酬趨勢和福利水平，以及大學的財務狀況等各因素。檢討之後，新條款下之薪酬福利有所優化，包括上調了薪酬幅度以及改善了一些員工福利項目。由於薪酬幅度有所改變，合資格在職員工均獲發特別薪酬調整。

To enhance the wellbeing of staff members, a number of improvements in the benefit provisions for staff members were introduced including some enhancement items under the new contract of the Staff Medical Benefit Scheme, improvements in the provision of medical services for long-serving retirees and the introduction of full-pay paternity leave.

為增進員工福祉，大學為員工福利作出多項改善，其中包括在僱員醫療福利計劃新合約內，提高若干項目的保障、增加長期服務退休員工享有的醫療服務，以及引入全薪侍產假等。

To encourage staff members to upgrade their competency levels, the Human Resources Office organized training and development programmes throughout the year. A total of 88 in-house training programmes were conducted for around 2,000 staff members with a total of over 8,000 training hours provided during the year. Other than in-house training programmes, the University also provided financial support to staff members for taking short courses, programmes leading to higher degrees and attending academic conferences.

為鼓勵員工不斷提升自己的才能，人力資源處在年內持續舉辦培訓課程供員工參與。大學本年度舉辦了八十八個校內培訓課程，有約二千位員工參與，合共有八千個培訓小時以上。除了校內培訓課程外，大學亦會資助教職員參加短期課程、修讀學位課程及出席學術會議。

Internal communication

內部溝通

PolyU is keen to enhance communication across the different sections of the University, allowing management to gather opinions and listen to feedback from staff and students. Among these channels are regular meetings between management and representatives of the Polytechnic University Staff Association, Postgraduate Association, and the Students’ Union. Open forums are also held to facilitate discussion of University issues.

理大積極促進校內各階層的溝通，讓管理層收集及聽取員工及學生的意見。其中的渠道包括管理層與教職員協會、研究生會和學生會的代表定期會面，並舉行公開論壇，就大學事宜進行討論。

Solid progress

穩健發展

The University ended 2013/14, the second year of the new fouryear undergraduate academic structure, with satisfactory results. The University and the Consolidated Entity recorded an operating surplus of $831.3 million (2013: $555.1 million) and $1,007.2 million (2013: $770.4 million) respectively in 2013/14. Net assets of both the University and the Consolidated Entity had a positive growth of 20% and 21% to $4,848.0 million (2013: $4,023.4 million) and $5,757.2 million (2013: $4,756.3 million) respectively. The main contributory factors from the revenue side included the successful implementation of a set of realigned investment strategies under the improved investment climate, which brought in a higher level of investment return, as well as the continuous support of donors with stable source of donation income in the year.

2013/14年度是新四年制本科課程的第二年，財政情況令人滿意。本校與綜合體分別錄得盈餘8.313億港元（2013 : 5.551億港元）及10.072億港元（2013 : 7.704億港元）。本校與綜合體的淨資產增長率分別約為20% 及21%，達至48.48億港元（2013 : 40.234億港元）及57.572億港元（2013 : 47.563億港元）。在收入方面的增幅，主要源自大學推行重新整合的投資策略，配合改善了的投資環境，因此取得較高的投資回報；另一方面，捐款者的持續支持亦為大學帶來穩定的捐贈收益。

With careful academic and financial planning by the University, supported by the collective effort of the departments and staff, the implementation of the new academic structure as well as the University’s Strategic Plan had progressed smoothly. The University however remained cautious in manpower and resource deployment for the first two years of this “brand-new” academic structure before it goes into a steady state. Entering the consolidation phase, the University will continue to apply considerable resources to meet the spending requirements of the third and fourth year of the curriculum structure and various strategic initiatives in the ensuing years of the triennium as planned.

通過大學審慎的學術和財政計劃，以及在全體部門和員工的努力下，新四年本科學制及大學的策略發展計劃均有順利的進展。然而，在新學制步入鞏固期之前，本校於新學制首兩年對人力和資源調配維持了謹慎的態度。當新學制進入鞏固時期，大學將會繼續投放大量資源以應付本科學制第三年和第四年所需要的開支，及確保多項策略性革新的計劃於三年撥款期內按計劃進行。

Operating results and financial position

營運結果及財務狀況

In 2014, the total income of the University rose by $443.7 million to $5,440.8 million (2013: $4,997.1 million), an increase of 9% over the previous year. The key contributors to this growth in revenue were the increase in Net Investment Gain of $175.1 million, increase in Tuition and Other Fees of $113.3 million, mainly driven by higher enrolment in self-financing programmes, and increase in Government Subventions of $90.1 million including the receipt of an additional supplementary grant following the civil service pay adjustment with effect from April 2013, as well as an increased number of grants from government agencies for research projects and scholarships.

2014年，本校總收入增長了4.437億港元，達至54.408億港元（2013 : 49.971億港元），較去年同期上升9%。增幅大部份來自投資凈收益增長的1.751億港元、自負盈虧課程因報讀人數上升而令學費及其他費用增長的 1.133億港元，以及政府額外增撥的9,010萬港元，增撥款項包括跟隨公務員薪酬調整由2013年4月起生效的額外增補補助金，以及政府機構對科研項目和獎學金撥款的增加。

The expenditure of the University increased by an overall rate of 4% to $4,609.5 million (2013: $4,437.5 million). This was mainly due to salary reviews and adjustments. During the year, a new Salary Review and Reward System (SRRS) was implemented in support of the strategic plan to recruit, retain and reward staff in pursuit of excellence in teaching, research and service. SRRS comprises the general adjustment, which makes reference to the civil service pay adjustment and a merit-based salary adjustment that aims to reward staff members with high performance and motivate them to perform their best by linking staff appraisal outcomes with the salary adjustment mechanism. The first merit-based salary adjustment was paid to eligible staff during the year. In addition, a pay structure review was carried out to align the University pay scale with the market. There were also higher operating expenses on various teaching, learning and research activities and full year depreciation for new buildings. This expenditure was, however, partly offset by a decrease in the provision for staff leave entitlement owing to clearance of accrued leave in the year upon resumption of the leave accumulation limit, which was temporarily lifted to facilitate student admissions under the new academic structure. Staff costs and benefits in 2013/14 were not as high as expected as some disciplines experienced difficulty in staff recruitment due to keen competition among institutions in the global talent market.

本校總開支較去年同期上升4%，增至46.095億港元（2013 : 44.375億港元）。增幅主要來自薪酬檢討及調整。於本年度內，為配合大學的策略發展計劃推行了薪酬檢討及獎勵制度，以招聘、挽留及獎勵在教學、研究及服務方面表現卓越的人員。薪酬檢討及獎勵制度包括參考公務員薪酬調整的一般調整和績效薪酬調整，後者的目的是將員工評核結果與薪酬調整機制掛鈎，以獎勵表現優秀的員工，並鼓勵他們達致最佳表現。首次績效薪酬調整已於本年度發放給合資格的員工。此外，大學亦進行了薪酬結構檢討，旨在令大學的薪酬水平與市場看齊。多項教學、學習及科研活動的營運開支以及新大樓的全年折舊均較去年同期上升，但部份開支因員工假期撥備的減少而抵銷。去年為應付新學制學生入學事宜，取消了對員工累積假期的限制。今年，此項限制重新引入，員工於是相繼享用應計假期。另外，由於全球人才市場競爭激烈，部份科目在招聘員工方面相當困難，以致2013/14年度的員工開支低於預期。

The total operating income of subsidiaries was $1,439.4 million (2013: $1,324.1 million), and total operating expenditure was $1,266.1 million (2013: $1,108.0 million), achieving a surplus from operation of $173.2 million (2013: $216.1 million). The 9% increase in total operating income was mainly due to continued business growth of Hotel ICON Limited (“Hotel ICON”), additional consultancy services provided by PolyU Technology and Consultancy Co. Limited (“PTeC”), and increase in Net Investment Gain of Hong Kong Community College (“HKCC”) and College of Professional and Continuing Education Limited (“CPCE”), which was in line with the investment results of the University. There was a corresponding increase in expenditure of Hotel ICON and PTeC to support their higher level of activities. To improve academic quality, HKCC and CPCE spent considerably on staff development, enhancement of information technology facilities, campus facilities, student development activities and scholarships/financial assistance to outstanding students in need. Total expenditure of the subsidiaries, net of their donation of surpluses to the University, increased by 13% in the year. The decrease of surpluses from subsidiaries was mainly due to increased spending of HKCC and CPCE in student facilities and scholarship upgrades. Hotel ICON continued to improve its financial results due to the good business environment and management.

年內附屬公司的總營運收入為14.394億港元（2013 : 13.241億港元），總營運開支為 12.661億港元（2013 : 11.08億港元），因而錄得營運盈餘1.733億港元（2013 : 2.161億港元）。本年度總營運收入較去年同期上升9%，主要來自於「維港薈」持續增長的業績，理大科技及顧問有限公司提供額外的顧問服務，以及香港專上學院和專業及持續教育學院有限公司投資凈收益的增長，而此增長與大學的投資成績一致。「維港薈」和理大科技及顧問有限公司的各項開支亦有相應增加，以應付活動的增加。香港專上學院和專業及持續教育學院有限公司亦增加各項開支，以改善教學質素，包括加強職員培訓、提升資訊科技設施、校園設施、增加學生發展活動以及給予傑出和有需要的學生的獎學金和學生財政援助。除去附屬公司對本校的捐款，附屬公司於2014年度的開支實較去年同期上升13%。附屬公司盈餘的減少主要由於香港專上學院與專業及持續教育學院有限公司在提升學生設施和獎學金方面增加了開支。「維港薈」的財政表現持續提升，實有賴於良好的營商環境及管理。

科技研究於2014年進行中的科研項目共計2,789項（2013 : 2,679），其中743項（2013 : 645）為新項目。而註冊研究生的總人數為1,594名（2013 : 1,495）。

In addition to recurrent grants by the University Grants Committee (“UGC”) supporting general research activities, the University also secured funding through different sources to support other specific research projects. Total grants of $108.5 million (2013: $91.4 million) were received from UGC and its Research Grants Council. Another $236.6 million (2013: $188.1 million) of research funds came from contract research, sponsorships or donations. Total expenditure on research projects and studentship, irrespective of funding sources, for the year was $487.5 million (2013: $423.0 million).

除大學教育資助委員會（「教資會」）用於資助一般科研活動的經常性撥款外，本校也循其他途徑募集資金，以支持特定的科研項目。本校從教資會及其研究資助局收到的撥款為1.085億港元（2013 : 9,140萬港元）。另外由其他來源如合約研究、贊助與捐贈所得之研究基金共計2.366億港元（2013 : 1.881億港元）。從所有資金來源計算，本年度用於研究項目與研究生助學金支出共計4.875億港元（2013 : 4.23億港元）。

Part of the University’s strategic development plans is to support the establishment of a number of Central Facilities, which will form a solid platform for achieving world-class research. During the year, the University decided to establish two Central Facilities in Materials Characterisation and Device Fabrication and in Life Science at the initial set-up cost of over $30 million each. It is expected that the Central Facilities, once fully established, will increase the competitiveness in research of these two areas and facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations.

大學策略發展計劃當中的部份是支持多個中央設施的成立，為達到世界級的科技研究提供穩固的平台。於本年度內，大學決定成立兩個中央設施，分別關於材料特性及器件製造和生命科學，每項設施的初始設置成本為多於3,000萬港元。當完成設置這兩項中央設施時，預期大學在有關研究方面的競爭力會因而提高，並能促進跨學科的合作。

Investments

投資

The University continued to adopt the investment strategies developed by the Investment Committee, based on the Statement of Investment Policies and Guidelines approved by Council.

大學繼續按校董會已審批的投資政策及指引為基礎，採用由投資委員會制訂的投資策略。

Funds of the University and the major subsidiaries were pooled for efficient fund management. Approximately 39% of the investible funds were invested by external investment managers. As at 30 June 2014, the allocation of the University’s investments was 78.8% (2013: 78.8%) in fixed income securities and 21.1% (2013: 21.1%) in equities. The University and the Consolidated Entity recorded a net investment gain of $307.1 million (2013: $132.0 million) and $379.3 million (2013: $167.6 million) respectively for the year. The significant increase was mainly attributable to the relatively favourable financial market conditions.

為更有效管理資本，本校及其主要附屬公司的資本是集合投資的。獨立基金經理的投資資本佔本校可投資資金的39%。截至2014年6月30日止，本校投資的分配如下：78.8%（2013 : 78.8%）投放於固定收入證券、21.1%（2013 : 21.1%）投放於股票。本校及綜合體於本年度錄得的投資淨收益分別為3.071億港元（2013 : 1.32億港元）及3.793億港元（2013 : 1.676億港元）。重大增長主要源於相對較良好的金融市場狀況。

Capital programmes

基建項目

To cope with the University’s growth and development, a number of projects have been carried out and plans drawn up to ensure that the University campus provides a congenial environment for staff and students. For the year, a total of $370.1 million (2013: $740.3 million) was incurred in capital development programmes and various alterations, additions and improvement projects.

為配合大學的發展，理大已進行及規劃多項工程項目，以確保大學校園能為師生提供舒適的環境。年內用於基建項目及校舍改善工程之總開支為3.701億港元（2013 : 7.403億港元）。

The construction of the Jockey Club Innovation Tower was completed and an occupation permit issued in August 2013. The grand opening of this 15-storey building, which is home to our School of Design housing contemporary, state-of-the-art facilities for design education and innovation, took place in March 2014. With its distinctive design, the Jockey Club Innovation Tower is set to become a new landmark in the heart of the city and drive the development of Hong Kong as a design hub in Asia.

賽馬會創新樓已竣工，並且已於2013年8月獲批入伙紙。這座15層高的大樓於2014年 3月正式開幕，該大樓為設計學院配備現代化和最先進的設施，供設計教育及創新發明之用。賽馬會創新樓的獨特設計將成為城市中心的新地標，同時亦推動香港發展為亞洲設計的樞紐。

Planning of a number of new projects was well underway. These projects include the Library Extension and Revitalization project for which a funding application has been submitted to the government, and the Redevelopment of Block X and Pedestrian Footbridge Linkage between the Main Campus and Block Z, both financed by the University’s non-UGC funds and which are now in the design stage. The Campus Extension at Ho Man Tin Slope project is in the early stage of development with the change of land use being recently approved in principle by the Town Planning Board in May 2014.

若干新項目的規劃工作亦已順利進行，包括已向政府提交撥款申請的圖書館擴建及活化計劃，以及由大學非教資會資助的教學樓 X 座重建計劃與連接主校園及教學樓 Z 座之行人天橋計劃，這些項目均處於設計階段。而何文田斜坡校園擴展計劃則處於發展初期，該項目於2014年5月獲得城市規劃委員會在原則上批准改變其土地用途。

Donations Donations raised this year were $280.1 million (2013: $282.8 million). During the year, the University successfully matched and received grants of $79.6 million (2013: $144.5 million) under the Government Sixth Matching Grant Scheme. The University had also applied for about $72.3 million in eligible donations up to 30 June 2014 for matching under the Scheme and which were previously on a waiting list pending matching. With the release of the “floor” balance reserved for some institutions at the end of July 2014, a matching grant of $21.5 million was allocated to the University as a result. Under the Scheme, which ran from August 2012 to July 2014, PolyU has secured a total of about $309 million in donations and $164 million in matching grants. For accounting purposes, donations and benefactions of $208.3 million (2013: $220.1 million) were recorded as revenue in the Income and Expenditure Statement for the year.

Financial outlook

財政展望

The current 2012-15 triennium UGC budget cycle will be rolled over by one year to cover the year 2015/16. Starting from this roll-over year, the intake of UGC-funded senior year undergraduate places will progressively increase by a total of 1,000 places. Together with existing places, a total of 5,000 meritorious sub-degree graduates will be able to go on to pursue subsidized degrees each year by the 2018/19 academic year.

PolyU Annual Report 2013/14 | MOVING FORWARD

During 2013/14, PolyU continued to review its four-year undergraduate curriculum, with the aim of refining the curriculum based on feedback from the PolyU community. The University also made great strides delivering the plans set out in the five areas of its Strategic Plan 2012/13-2017/18, namely, Knowledge Transfer, Entrepreneurship and Service to Community; Internationalization, Branding and Marketing; Engaging the Nation; Campus Development; and Recruitment and Retention.

2013/14 年度，理大持續就四年制本科課程進行檢討，並根據大學社群的意見，完善課程。此外，大學根據2012/13至2017/18 六年策略發展計劃中的五大策略範疇，穩步發展，將計劃付諸實行。該五大範疇包括：知識轉移、企業精神及服務社會；國際化、品牌建立；參與國家發展；校園發展；以及延攬人才。

Through innovative research, knowledge transfer and partnerships with business and industry, the University has made strong contributions towards global sustainability. During the reporting year, the many achievements of the PolyU community in sustainable development were felt both in Hong Kong and the world at large. These included innovations by our researchers as well as the social services of our students in different parts of the world.

大學致力創新科研、知識轉移及夥拍工商業界，對全球可持續發展貢獻良多。年內，理大社群推動可持續發展成就超卓，包括科研人員的創新研究和學生在世界各地的社會服務，不但造福香港，而且貢獻世界。

PolyU reached a historic milestone on 25 November 2014 when it witnessed the 20th anniversary of full university status. Its heritage of nearly eight decades, from the University’s roots as a government trade school to the internationally-renowned institution of today, has laid a solid foundation for even brighter achievements in years to come. With our vision of excellence in professional education, applied research and partnership, we will continue to soar higher for the betterment of Hong Kong, the nation and the world.

2014年11月25日是理大歷史上一個重要里程碑 — 理大正式取得大學地位二十周年。過去近八十年，這所院校從最早期的官立高級工業學院蛻變至今天享譽國際的香港理工大學，正好為未來爭取更高的成就而奠定了穩固的基礎。我們憑藉在專業教育、應用科研和夥伴合作方面的遠見卓識，定必繼續高瞻遠矚，推動香港、國家和世界的進步。

About PolyU 關於理大

The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) is the largest government-funded tertiary institution in Hong Kong, with total student numbers of more than 32,000. Through our faculties and schools — the Faculty of Applied Science and Textiles, Faculty of Business, Faculty of Construction and Environment, Faculty of Engineering, Faculty of Health and Social Sciences, Faculty of Humanities, School of Design, and School of Hotel and Tourism Management — the University connects education and research to the real world as manifested in our motto “To learn and to apply, for the benefit of mankind”. PolyU has developed close partnerships with industry and commerce, and collaborated with numerous universities worldwide. All these efforts have enabled PolyU to make significant contributions to the development of Hong Kong, the nation and the world, as reflected in the theme of this Annual Report, “Soaring with a Vision”.

香港理工大學（理大）是香港最大的政府資助高等院校，學生人數超過三萬二千名。透過多個學院 — 應用科學及紡織學院、工商管理學院、建設及環境學院、工程學院、醫療及社會科學院、人文學院、設計學院和酒店及旅遊業管理學院，理大致力將教育及科研與現實社會聯繫起來，發揚校訓「開物成務勵學利民」的精神。理大與工商界建立了緊密的夥伴關係，並與世界各地多家大學進行協作項目。這一切促使理大為本港、國家及世界的發展作出重要貢獻，亦正反映本年報「高瞻遠矚」的主題。
