🚀 The Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2025 kicked off on Wednesday in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, bringing together over 200 young scientists from more than 20 countries and regions. It’s like Comic-Con for science, but with PhDs instead of capes! 🧪🌟
Chan Kwok-ki, chief secretary for administration of the Hong Kong SAR Government, highlighted a suite of new talent-attraction policies—most notably a frontier technology research support scheme worth HK$3 billion (about $385.8 million). This fund will supercharge advanced facilities for breakthrough research, from astronomy to life sciences. 💰🔬
"The Laureate Forum isn’t just an event," said Tong Wai-cheung, the forum’s chairman, "it’s a global launchpad to cultivate curiosity, ignite passion for science, and empower the next generation of innovators."
Running under the theme "Meeting of Inspirational Minds," the four-day forum features keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and poster presentations. Top topics this year include astronomy, life science and medicine, and mathematical sciences. Attendees will dive into engaging dialogues and network like pros, forging collaborations that could shape the future of tech. 🤝🌌
For young professionals, students, and science buffs from Latin America to Asia, the Hong Kong Laureate Forum 2025 is proof that when brilliant minds unite, the sky’s not the limit—it’s just the beginning. Stay tuned for breakthroughs! 🎓✨
