UGC's TV Programme on KT/KE

The University Grants Committee (UGC) recognizes that knowledge transfer (KT)/knowledge exchange (KE) has become an important mission of Hong Kong's higher education institutions. The UGC has recently decided to deploy some resources to publicise the UGC-funded institutions' KT/KE endeavors in order to increase public awareness of the good work that has been done by institutions in this area. They have commissioned TVB to produce a 30-minute programme in the form of a documentary, and selected a KT/KE project from each of the 8 UGC-funded institutions to be featured in this programme.

Details of the upcoming TV programme are as follows:

Programme name: 知識大轉移
Channel: TVB Jade (i.e. the Chinese channel)
Broadcast date: December 18, 2013 (Wed)
Broadcast time: 7:00 - 7:30pm

Programme Sequence:

HKUST (SANI污水處理)
CityU (基因轉殖魚技術)
PolyU (光纖光柵鐵路監測系統)

According to the UGC, this programme is positioned to be an introductory episode that provides the public with a layman understanding of KT/KE, and they hope that the public will have a better idea and appreciation of institutions' KT/KE efforts all along through this documentary.
