The Hong Kong Polytechnic University hosted an inauguration ceremony on 11 November 2024 to celebrate the establishment of the Jockey Club (JC) STEM Labs. The ceremony honoured The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust for its generous donation of over HKD 74 million, which enable the creation of eight state-of-the-art laboratories.
During the ceremony, Professor Weng Qihao, Director of the JC STEM Lab of Earth Observations, outlined the lab’s pioneering vision. The laboratory specializes in advancing Earth Observation technologies by integrating space-air-ground sensing, AI-powered image processing and urban sensor networks. This integrated approach positions the lab at the forefront of developing revolutionary geomatics solutions for urban monitoring and environmental management.
