The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) has established the Zhizhen School of Interdisciplinary Mathematical Sciences (Zhizhen School, or “the School”), as an initiative of internationally renowned mathematician Professor Yau Shing-tung. It aims to cultivate mathematical science talent in Hong Kong, aligning with the national aspiration to building China into a leading country in education, as well as the 14^th Five-Year Plan’s vision of strengthening basic research. This also aligns with the aspiration in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government’s policy address to develop Hong Kong as an international hub for post-secondary education and establish the “Study in Hong Kong” brand. Professor Yau will serve as the Founding Director of Zhizhen School.
