The Global Engagement Office (GEO) proudly reflects on a remarkable 2024. This year, we have remained dedicated to achieving significant milestones in fostering global connections and enhancing the student learning experience through strategic collaborations.
In pursuit of our Global Engagement objectives, we have built a robust network with over 275 overseas institutions across 40 countries and regions. We welcomed more than 30 delegations from overseas institutions to strengthen our global ties and organised five senior management-led delegation visits to ten countries, engaging with over 18 existing and potential partners.
Regarding GEO’s efforts in Student Outreach and Mobility, we are currently hosting over 17,200 undergraduate students (UG) from 59 countries and regions at PolyU, enriching our campus with diverse backgrounds, cultures and perspectives. HK$20.65 million has been allocated to support more than 2,079 UG students in participating in various non-local learning experiences, including student exchanges, *non-local work-integrated education (WIE), other short-term non-local study initiatives and more (*GEO took up non-local WIE from the Student Affairs Office in Aug 2024). Additionally, we have engaged over 2,000 prospective students in more than 220 activities, including the PolyU Summer Institute, the Junior Researcher Mentoring Programme, interview roadshows on Mainland, campus visits, school talks, fairs, and consultations.
A heartfelt thank you to our students, colleagues, partners, stakeholders for making 2024 a year of growth and success. We look forward to continuing this fruitful journey together in 2025. Wishing you a happy holiday season and a prosperous new year!
