APSS-led Smart Campus Innovation Project Takes Both Gold Award and Global Education Award at QS Reimagine Awards 2024

PolyU's "Engage, Empower, Excel: Smart Campus Innovation", an interdisciplinary team led by Dr Rodney CHU, Senior Lecturer of APSS, achieved significant success at the QS Reimagine Education Awards and Conference 2024 in London. His team not only won the Gold Smart Omnichannel Campus Category Award, but also secured the prestigious Global Education Award – the ultimate recognition that celebrates the “champion of champions”.

The winning team led by Dr CHU consists of experts from various departments: Dr Hilda CHEUNG, Lecturer of Department of Building Environment and Energy Engineering (BEEE), Dr Jeffrey HO, Associate Professor of School of Design (SD), Dr Pauli LAI, Lecturer of Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Dr Kai-pan MARK, Senior Educational Development Manager of Educational Development Centre (EDC), along with Mr Charles WOO (Project Fellow) and Miss Kathy LAM (Project Assistant), APSS CAVE-cum-Studio Device members.

Of 13,000 global submissions to QS Reimagine Awards in 2024, 155 projects were shortlisted, making PolyU's dual achievement—especially the prestigious Global Education Award—an exceptional milestone in education innovation. As the only local institution in Hong Kong to receive a gold award this year, PolyU has made a significant impact, marking a notable moment in this event.

Congratulations to Rodney and his team for their great achievement at QS Reimagine Awards 2024. 

As always, colleagues at APSS are all committed to providing students with innovative quality teaching at all levels.
