President’s Lecture Series
Recent developments in automated single cell manipulation tools utilising robotically controlled optical tweezers will be the subject of the next talk in the President’s Lecture Series: Excellence in Academia. The topic covers how robot-aided single cell manipulation opens up a new avenue for probing cell functional mechanisms as well as developing new targeted therapy for human diseases. The speaker will be Professor Sun Dong, Chair Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Head of Department of Mechanical and Biomedical Engineering, and will take place on 20 October.

Big data forum
Big data is becoming more prominent in a world with surging data. The advancement in multimedia, social media and the Internet of Things will induce further growth in data for the foreseeable future. Therefore, leaders in different sectors will have to grasp the implications of big data. In keeping with our rapidly developing know-how in various related areas related to big data, and as part of the CityU’s 30th Anniversary celebrations, the College of Science and Engineering is organising the “Big Data Forum: Development, Analysis and Utilization” on 13 October 2014, followed by a poster exhibition and a roundtable discussion on 14 October. The two-day event aims to serve as a platform to allow several academicians and other experts and researchers to share insights and practices, as well as to discuss new initiatives and research potential in the field.

City University Distinguished Lecture
The three speakers participating in the next City University Distinguished Lecture will discuss “The Multi-cultural World and Future of Chinese Culture”. The speakers will be Professor Yuan Ming, Professor of the School of International Studies and the Director of the Center for American Studies at Peking University; Professor Wang Anyi, Vice-Chairman of the Chinese Writers Association and Professor of Fudan University; and Professor Zhang Qicheng, Dean of the School of Chinese Classic at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The talk will take place on 9 October.

Local vets’ programme
New fracture fixation techniques are a focal point of a series of lectures and workshops culminating on 7 October. The lectures and workshops, part of CityU’s continuing education programme for local professionals, are hosted by Dr Kei Hayashi, Associate Professor of Surgery at the College of Veterinary Medicine, Cornell University. Dr Hayashi has published more than 100 journal articles in areas such as ligament and tendon injury, wound healing, total joint replacement systems, molecular profiling of osteoarthritis, and the development of medicine.

Project ENTHUSIA
A CityU internalisation project called “ENTHUSIA” is calling for students to propose large-scale games and competitions events for all CityU staff and students to participate in starting in February 2015. With the aim of promoting internalisation in local universities, the project was initiated by a group of international and exchange students in CityU and has obtained funding from the University Grants Committee. Details of the project and proposal form are available at the Facebook page.
