The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has been actively showcasing its latest scientific research and innovative achievements on the international stage.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of Sino-French diplomatic relations and the Paris 2024 Summer Olympic Games. PolyU organised the “Flying High” exhibition in Paris to highlight two main themes, “Style in Motion” and “Sustainability in Innovation”, featuring 10 projects that highlight a diverse array of research and innovations across disciplines, from fashion to technology and sustainable materials.

In addition, two research projects led by PolyU have recently won over HK$100 million in funding from the Research Grants Council’s (RGC) Theme-based Research Scheme 2024/25 to advance emerging research and innovations. Prof. Christina WONG, Professor of the School of Fashion and Textiles and Director of Research and Innovation of PolyU has also been awarded by the RGC’s Senior Research Fellow Scheme with a total grant of approximately HK$8 million in funding to promote research related to circular economy and sustainable development.

PolyU will participate in the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Milan, Italy, in October this year. Prof. Wong said PolyU is committed to promoting the university's scientific and technological development. Moving forward, PolyU continues to expand innovative and cutting-edge research that enhances well-being and leads to a brighter future.
