Award Citation
The Transdisciplinary Innovation Team, led by Professor William Cheung and including Dr Glos Ho, Professor Kingsley Ng, Professor Wendy Huang, and Professor Nick Zhang, is dedicated to equipping students with diverse knowledge and skills to address global challenges. The team brings together faculty members from multiple disciplines, community leaders from various sectors, and international collaborators to guide students in real-world projects aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

A hallmark of their work is the individualised major programme, which empowers students to design their own study pathways and tackle complex, mission-driven problems. Complementing this, the team has developed three additional transdisciplinary programmes, each with its own distinctive focus.

Embodying innovation, collaboration, and an unwavering dedication to student growth, the team has spearheaded transdisciplinary education at Hong Kong Baptist University. Their efforts have significantly enhanced the student experience and inspired meaningful dialogue and educational innovation across the region.
