The event began with a warm welcome from Prof. Kemas to Prof. Eunice Seng. Prof. Kemas provided an overview of FTUI, including the faculty’s profile, academic programs, and global rankings.
Prof. Eunice Seng also shared insights about HKU, highlighting that the Faculty of Architecture is one of the largest among the university’s ten faculties.

There are various other potential collaboration opportunities between FTUI and HKU, including student exchange programs and summer elective courses at the faculty level. Additionally, research collaborations could be established through joint research, studios, workshops, and joint project fellowships.
“This meeting is a great opportunity to initiate collaboration between FTUI and HKU. We hope to establish partnerships in various areas, such as student exchanges and research collaborations,” said Prof. Kemas.
