Belt and Road Office Talk: Enhancing Support for International Students in Hong Kong – The Babak Lab
The Babak Lab shared a post on LinkedIn:
“The Babak Lab Live!
Today, our Belt and Road Office, HKSAR Government Scholars, along with Prof. Wen Jung Li, had the privilege of attending the Belt and Road Office Talk. This event provided a valuable opportunity to dive deep into the needs and experiences of international students studying in Hong Kong and beyond.
We heard insightful presentations from 8 UGC-funded universities, each sharing their strategies and experiences in attracting scholars from the Belt and Road region. The discussions highlighted the importance of creating supportive environments for international students, ensuring they thrive during their studies and beyond.
A big thank you to everyone involved for fostering these critical conversations and for your commitment to enhancing the academic journey for scholars from around the world!”

“It is inspiring to see initiatives like this one organized by Belt and Road Office, HKSAR Government bringing together experts and institutions to support international students on their academic journeys.
Creating welcoming and supportive environments is key to fostering global collaboration and success.”
