Study Tour from Wuhan and Tongji Universities

LSGI received delegations with 52 students and 5 teachers and staff from Wuhan and Tongji

Universities during 30 July to 3 Aug 2018 to foster academic exchange and strengthen the

collaborations between three universities.

The delegation included 22

undergraduate students from

Wuhan University and 27

undergraduate and 3

postgraduate students from

Tongji University. The week-

long study tour covered a

public lecture by guest speaker

from USA, six academic

lectures by academic staff of

LSGI, culture exchange and

sharing by students from LSGI,

Wuhan and Tongji Universities, visits to PolyU’s House of Innovation, LSGI’s laboratories and

facilities, Survey and Mapping Office, Lands Department of Hong Kong Government, City

Gallery at Central and Tsing Ma Bridge. Prof. John Shi, Head of LSGI, gave an introduction of

the department in the opening of study tour.

On the last day of study tour, students from these two universities gave presentations by groups on

what they have learnt and gained in the visit and shared their research conducted before. Students

enjoyed the study environment at PolyU a lot and all the lectures were very inspiring. Dr George

Liu concluded that we hoped the visit not only brought them knowledge on academic, also

memorable culture exchange experience to all the participants and valuable friendships amongst

three universities. We look forward to more academic collaborations and exchanges between

PolyU, Wuhan and Tongji Universities in the near future.
