We are pleased to share highlights from the recent PPOL Collaborative Program with HKUST(GZ), which brought together students and academic leaders from both campuses for a stimulating exchange on career development in international organizations.
Co-organized by the Division of Public Policy (PPOL) at HKUST, the Innovation, Policy and Entrepreneurship (IPE) Thrust, and the Career Development Association (CDA) at HKUST(GZ), the event featured distinguished speakers from the Global SDGs and Youth Leadership Development Center, the Asian Development Bank, and a postgraduate scholar with prior experience at the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The program was further enriched by academic guidance from Prof. Xun Wu and Prof. Alex Jingwei He, who led thought-provoking discussions on global public policy careers and the evolving role of multilateral institutions. Students also had the opportunity to tour the HKUST(GZ) campus, gaining valuable exposure to the interdisciplinary environment and innovative initiatives of the IPE Thrust.
