The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) on February 19, 2019launched the “Sustainable Smart Campus as a Living Lab” (SSC) – an initiative that transforms the campus into a testing ground for learning, experimenting, and advancing smart and innovative ideas to address real-life challenges.
READY TO MAKE A CHANGE TO OUR DAILY LIFE AT HKUST?
Expectations of Sustainable Smart Campus at HKUST
With a pledge of HK$50 million over the next three years, the University aims to identify sustainable, smart and cross-disciplinary home-grown HKUST projects and implement them on campus. Projects are collaboratively developed by faculty, staff, students and alumni. By uniting HKUST’s quality research and innovative learning approaches, it is hoped that SSC projects will become a source of inspiration to the Hong Kong community, contributing to its development in becoming a world-class sustainable and smart city.
The SSC is an effort to transform our campus into one where the campus itself is a platform for learning, experimenting, and showcasing new ideas and approaches. By combining sustainability principles with smart and innovative approaches to solving problems – and by using our campus as the platform to see and experience the results – the SSC will demonstrate HKUST’s leadership in constructing a sustainable and smart pathway into the future.
Inaugural Round of Projects
Nine projects – ranging from enhancing library user experience through facial recognition technology, to promoting positive and healthy behaviors through visual arts installations, to utilizing a real-time big data platform of people flows to facilitate effective planning – were selected from the first round of submission of SSC project proposals:
Implementation of the projects is spearheaded through HKUST’s GREAT Smart Cities Center (GSCC), in collaboration with the HKUST Sustainability Unit. The second round of submission of SSC project proposals ended on March 22, 2019 and results would be released later.
