The Department of Land Surveying & Geo-Informatics (LSGI) partnered with three Mainland universities, Tongji University, China University of Mining and Technology, and National University of Information Science and Technology, to co-organize the Summer Exchange 2023. The exchange, which took place at PolyU and other visiting locations from July 23 to July 29, 2023, provided near 100 participating students (including both undergraduate and postgraduate students) with an enriching experience.
During the week, professors and students from all 4 universities showcased their latest research and projects for academic exchange. In addition, the students were given tours of notable locations within PolyU and LSGI. These included visits to various LSGI labs such as the Laboratory for Deformation and Geohazards Studies, Navigation Laboratory, Underground Utility Survey Laboratory, and Laboratory for Smart City and Spatial Big Data Analytics. As part of the program, the participants had the privilege to visit two government units in Hong Kong, including the Survey and Mapping Office of the Lands Department, HKSAR Government, and the King's Park Meteorological Station of Hong Kong Observatory. These visits offered valuable insights into the cutting-edge advancements in land surveying and smart city development in Hong Kong. The students also got the opportunity to understand the operation and applications of various equipment in research related to meteorology.
The exchange programme provided an invaluable platform for the students to gain exposure to a wide range of academic perspectives and activities. It was a resounding success in fostering academic collaborations and facilitating cultural exchange.
