Sustainable Development

As concerns grow about the current quality of life in urban areas, we aim to develop innovative solutions for sustainable high-density cities by taking advantage of both the “living laboratory” that is Hong Kong, and the multidisciplinary expertise of PolyU.
Aviation_478x373

Aviation and Aeronautics

PolyU has supported space exploration by developing sophisticated tools and devices for various national and international space missions. We have a broad range of expertise from earth-bound transport to space exploration, and our technologies are developed for real-life applications.
Transportation_478x540

Transportation

As urban traffic continues to increase, we address transport challenges from both micro and macro perspectives. Developments in transport surveillance, structures, vehicle and route patterns, and their interactions with the environment help to ensure the efficiency and safety of travel, every step of the way.

Our Achievements

Our internationally acclaimed professors and researchers have been actively involved in numerous application-oriented research projects, and many have been honoured at exhibitions such as the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, Brussels Innova, IENA International Trade Fair - Ideas-Inventions-New Products (Nuremberg) and the China International Invention Exhibition.
