Two Nobel laureates share insights with PolyU community

PolyU and the Hong Kong Alumni Association of Beijing Universities (HKAABJU) co-organised the “Together with Scientists” thematic event, as one of the key parts of the second Hong Kong World Youth Science Conference. On 15 April 2025, Dr Elizabeth LEE, HKAABJU President, accompanied Prof. Andre GEIM, 2010 Nobel Laureate in Physics, and Prof. Harvey James ALTER, 2020 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine, to the PolyU campus. These two brilliant minds discussed the diverse applications of graphene and offered insights on the roadmap to success, respectively. The event brought together over 150 faculty members, students, scholars and researchers onsite, and more than 126,000 online participants, to explore cutting-edge scientific issues.
