Hong Kong Academy of Sciences, The

About the organisation

The purpose for the establishment of The Hong Kong Academy of Sciences ("the Academy") is to promote the development and advancement of science and technology in Hong Kong, and to raise the city’s profile as a centre of scientific excellence. The idea of the establishment of an academy had floated informally for many years, but the SARS crisis in 2003 dramatised the need for a high-level local organisation that could provide leadership and reassurance at such a time. In 2006, a working group was formed under the chairmanship of Professor Chi-Ming Che of The University of Hong Kong. In 2008, a proposal was prepared and submitted to the HKSAR Government. As subsequent discussion showed that the situation was not fully mature, it was decided to wait for some more time. Vision The Academy thrives to provide leadership in developing Hong Kong as a centre of scientific and technological excellence. Mission The Academy promotes the development and advancement of science and technology in Hong Kong, and informs the public on relevant issues.
