PolyU has brought home two Gold Medals for its breakthroughs in nanotechnology, including a novel method for producing carbon nanotubes economically and a rapid testing technique for identifying food contamination using nano-biosensing technology, at the International Eureka Contest of Brussels Innova 2009. On top of two Gold Medals, PolyU researchers also won a Silver Medal for its GPS technology for landslide monitoring, and a Bronze Medal for its innovation for the enhancement of wireless communication network in this international event. Dr Lui Sun-wing, Vice President (Partnership Development), said the prestigious awards are strong proofs that PolyU innovations are recognized internationally.

The long-standing International Eureka Contest has put together some 450 inventions from more than 30 countries and regions this year. These awards were selected by a panel of judges comprising senior members from both academia and industry. Details>>
