The Centre for Culture and Development (CCD) was approved
to be established in November 2008 by the Chinese
University of Hong Kong within the Department of Cultural
and Religious Studies (CRS). The vision of the Centre is to
promote the synergy between culture and development
through excellence and leadership in research. The missions
of the Centre are as follows:
- to respond to both the local and international needs
and trends in research on culture and development
viz cultural heritage and policy, cultural and creative
industries and culture-led city development and regeneration;
- to consolidate research strength and expertise by
stages within the department, faculty, university and
Hong Kong;
- to establish research excellence in Hong Kong and the
region by building up research collaborative efforts with
national and international research institutions;
- to become in the long run a national and international
research centre.
The centre will be administered under an Executive Committee
responsible for the administrative, academic,
financial and personnel matters. The Executive Committee
will submit report annually to an Advisory Board
and the Department Board of CRS. The Executive Committee
consists of staff of CRS and CUHK and other Hong
Kong personnel in culture and development.
The Advisory
Board consists of international experts in culture and development.
Its role is to advise the centre on the general
direction of research and activities and to promote and
help establish connections for the centre with the international
community. Membership of both the Advisory Board
and Executive Committee will be renewable on a two-yearbasis
starting from the inauguration date of the Centre on
18 April 2009.
