To respond to the theme of CEE/CSE 50th Anniversary, WE(Re)CONNECT, “CEE x CEE Research Scholars Alumni Association (CEE RSAA) Reunion” was successfully held on 19 August 2023 (Saturday) in Shenzhen. The event attracted around 240 participants, bringing together CEE academic staff, students, research scholars and alumni from the Mainland China for an occasion filled with knowledge-sharing and networking.
We are honoured to have Prof. Jin-Guang Teng, President of PolyU, to address the audience and share the recent development of the University. Prof. Teng expressed his delight at witnessing the reunion and emphasized the significance of strong network bonding between the Department and its alumni.
Following the Prof. Teng’s address, the stage was set for four exceptional CEE RSAA members including Prof. Jun Chen, Chairman of CEE RSAA & Professor of Tongji University; Prof. Honghu Zhu, Professor and Dean of Nanjing University; Dr Jian Gao, Director of Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences and Prof. Zhi-Chun Li, Professor of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.
