It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the University of Southampton, to pass on our sincere congratulations to you and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on the occasion of your 80th anniversary.
Your University has achieved so much being highly ranked in Asia and in world rankings while continuing to strive towards a global and innovative reach with your established campuses in mainland China and your membership of the International Strategic Technology Alliance. HKPU's Innovation and Technology Department is particularly exciting to watch with your technology transfers in healthcare, transport and sustainability.
We were pleased to welcome some of your Engineering colleagues last month. The visit enabled us to build on our exchange agreement in Business, Law and Art, and Natural and Environmental Sciences. Our partnership goes back at least 20 years and I am pleased to have seen many well cited joint publications between our two universities in that time.
May our collaboration and your substantial achievements continue to grow in the coming years. Please do accept my sincere congratulations.
Prof. Sir Christopher Snowden
President and Vice-Chancellor
University of Southampton
