In the early summer of 2025, a joint Symposium on Emerging Technologies and Future Talents will be held by representatives from Harvard, Stanford(representatives) and The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK).
This event, supported by President John Chi-Kin Lee of EdUHK and the new Global Institute for Emerging Technologies (GIET), features an impressive lineup of speakers from globally renowned institutions such as Harvard, Stanford, Nanyang Technological University, EdUHK and Shandong University. Keynote and plenary speeches will be delivered by technology and education policymakers from the Ministry of Education (MOE) and experts from leading AI companies. Over the course of three days, the Symposium will explore the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Extended Reality (XR), and machine learning in teaching, training, and talent development.
The Symposium will offer a variety of sessions, including workshops on innovation and entrepreneurship education, panel discussions, poster displays and showcase by global researchers, developers and designers. Participants will explore a wide range of topics through parallel sessions focusing on the application of AI and LLM in STEAM education (from K12 to Higher Ed), creativity and futuristic thinking, entrepreneurship and talent development in the age of AI. Top paper presentations may be invited to publish extended versions in high-impact journals (SCI, SSCI & CSSCI). Top design work may be invited to collaborate with GIET for further development.
