HKUST’s journey has been nothing short of extraordinary. In just three decades, we have grown into a globally recognized academic and research institution. We are eager to embark on the next phase of development with the new Strategic Plan 2031.
Building upon the preceding Plan and incorporating the HKUST 3.0 Vision Plan launched in 2023, the new Plan features new strategies to navigate changing circumstances and achieve the next level of excellence. Through extensive discussions and engagement with the University community, including alumni, students, faculty and staff, as well as the Court and Council, the Strategic Plan 2031 reflects our collective aspirations for the future.
In summary, the University seek to become:
- A University of Talents
- An International Leader in Education and Research
- A Visionary of Innovation and Entrepreneurship
- An Exemplar of Best-in-class Sustainable and Quality Practices
- A Champion of Diversity, Inclusiveness, and Openness
As a place of inquiry, HKUST is dedicated to delivering transformative changes in teaching, learning, research, knowledge creation and transfer as well as contributing to economic and societal development. In pursuit of our aspirations, we bring together the best minds and create a conducive learning and working environment. The University is uniquely positioned to tackle the complex global challenges that lie ahead. Our strength lies in our ability to anticipate changes and respond with agility, while empowering each other to swiftly adapt to new circumstances.
Looking towards our 40th anniversary in 2031 and beyond, our recalibrated Strategic Plan serves as a compass, guiding our path towards more expansive possibilities for continued growth and development.
