A Joint Symposium on Emerging Technologies and Future Talents was held by representatives of Harvard University, Stanford University and EdUHK on the latter’s Tai Po campus in May.
The event brought together scholars and industry experts from different parts of the world to explore and study the integration and application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, extended reality, machine learning, and the metaverse in teaching, training and talent development, through keynote speeches, parallel sessions, and other formats.
Three innovative workshops were also held: Harvard-Stanford Innovation Education, Writing and Publishing in High-Impact Journals, and Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education in the AI Era. The second workshop was led by Chair Professor of Early Childhood Education Philip Li Hui, assisted by six editors from high-impact international journals, who made a rare joint appearance to share their valuable insights on academic writing and publishing from an editorial perspective.
Through multiple parallel sessions, participants conducted in-depth discussions on the applications of Al and large language models in STEAM teaching from K12 to higher education, the cultivation of creativity and future-oriented thinking, as well as the entrepreneurial ecosystem and talent strategies in the era of AI. Outstanding research papers shared at the symposium will have an opportunity to be published in extended versions in indexed academic journals.
Over 300 principals and teachers from primary and secondary schools, faculty members and students from local and overseas universities attended, along with professionals from Argentina, Canada, Indonesia, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mainland China, Macao SAR and Hong Kong SAR.
