PolyU joins hands with China Harbour to boost land development research

The inaugural ceremony of the China Harbour–PolyU Joint Research Centre for Land Development (JRC) was held successfully on 17 May 2023. The new research centre symbolises a joint effort between The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) and China Harbour Engineering Co. Ltd (CHEC) to boost practical research on land development.

The JRC is the first joint research centre established by the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) Ltd, parent company of the CHEC, in partnership with a Hong Kong higher education institution, to facilitate research on sustainable land development for a green, low-carbon economy and a better living environment. The Centre will be jointly operated by the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) and the CHEC under the leadership of inaugural Co-Directors, Prof. DAI Jianguo of PolyU and Mr SUN Hualei of CHEC, and will initially focus on research innovation, knowledge transfer, and talent cultivation.
