PolyU co-organised the 3rd International Deep Space Exploration Conference (Tiandu Forum)

The 3rd International Deep Space Exploration Conference (Tiandu Forum) was held in Hefei, Anhui Province, from 4 to 5 September, attracting over 400 participants from various regions to discuss frontier topics in deep sea exploration, advanced technology, and scientific research.

As one of the co-organisers, Prof. Dong Cheng, Associate Vice President (Mainland Research Advancement) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU), and Prof. Wu Bo, Associate Head of the Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics and Research Centre for Deep Space Explorations of PolyU, also hosted an academic and scientific session, engaging fruitful discussion and sharing.

A highlight of the conference was the official induction of PolyU into the International Deep Space Exploration Association (IDSEA) with Prof. Wu accepting the membership certificate on behalf of the University.

Looking ahead, a delegation from PolyU will participate in the 76th International Astronautical Congress in Sydney, Australia. The University will host a booth exhibition to showcase its latest breakthroughs in space research and innovation. On 30 September, PolyU will organise the ‘PolyU Space Connect’ event in Sydney, a gathering that will bring together global space enthusiasts, researchers, and innovators to exchange ideas, build connections, and explore future collaborations in an inspiring and friendly setting.
