Experience one of Asia’s leading platforms for shaping the future of the academic knowledge exchange about engineering! The Asian Deans’ Forum (ADF) brings together senior representatives from seven top universities to exchange insights and define priorities for advancing engineering knowledge. These universities are HKUST, The University of New South Wales, Seoul National University, National University of Singapore, National Taiwan University, The University of Tokyo, and Tsinghua University.
This year, the ADF will run alongside the Rising Stars Women in Engineering Workshop (RSE), designed to inspire young female professionals in engineering research and academia. The RSE program offers scientific discussions, career development sessions, and opportunities to engage with academic leaders committed to strengthening women’s representation in the field.
Hosted by HKUST Engineering, this joint event features plenary talks, keynotes, panel discussions, and mentoring activities. We warmly invite aspiring academics and engineering professionals to take part and connect with peers and leaders across the Asia Pacific Region.
