The flagship HK Tech Forum series was initiated by Professor Way Kuo, President of City University of Hong Kong (CityU), and hosted by the Hong Kong Institute for Advanced Study (HKIAS), CityU. Under the theme “Empowering Society for a Better Future”, the series serves as a dynamic platform for discussing innovative strategies and approaches to major challenges in science and technology. The 5th and the 6th forums concluded the 2022 inaugural series, attracting leading academic and industry researchers from around the world to share their insights on quantum physics and complex systems; as well as metabolism in health and disease on 7-9 and 15-16 December respectively.

Both forums opened with a warm welcome remark extended by President Kuo, noting that the forums provided an opportunity for some of the brightest researchers and most eminent scholars from academia to industry to discuss their investigations and share their critical views on the respective topics.

The 5th forum, Forum on Quantum Physics and Complex Systems, provided an exceptional multidisciplinary, cross-pollination arena for world-leading scientists to discuss complex systems, including spin glasses, neural networks, proteins, and related problems.

 “This forum brings together leading scholars from around the world, as well as young and active researchers, to tackle challenging issues from four perspectives: Quantum Materials; Soft Matter and Complex Systems; Quantum Information; and Quantum Beam Applications,” said Professor Wang Xunli at the Opening Ceremony, HKIAS Executive Director, Head of Physics and Co-Chair of the Forum. Other Co-Chairs included Professor Bao Wei, Professor Jeff Ou Zheyu and Professor Ren Yang, all Chair Professors at CityU.
