The Research Centre for Chinese Medicine Innovation (RCMI) and the Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) successfully co-organised the SAR/RCMI PolyU Research Conference at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 23–25 May 2024, attracting over 300 participants from 19 countries and regions.
With the theme of “Bridging the two worlds: Engaging traditional Chinese medicine in modern health care”, the Conference provided a platform on which researchers from various healthcare professions and disciplines shared, explored and developed novel research hypotheses and strategies for acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The participants constructed a robust bridge between the East and West for advancing the scientific understanding and evidence-based clinical applications of acupuncture and TCM.
