Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) President Dennis Lo Yuk-ming is advocating for increased research and development funding in Hong Kong to enhance its position as a global education hub. Lo made the statement ahead of the upcoming budget announcement, noting Asia's growing prominence in tertiary education, evidenced by increased scientific publications and patents. CUHK is the primary host of the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) Conference and Exhibition, a three-day event held in Hong Kong.
