Lau Oi Wah Memorial Science Lecture Series

Former Dean of Science Professor Lau Oi Wah recognized the importance of nurturing young minds of the next generation and the necessity to bringing scientific knowledge and advancement to the public. First held in 2005, the annual Lau Oi Wah Memorial Science Lecture Series – jointly sponsored by the Faculty of Science and the Lau Oi Wah Memorial Fund – has been one of the ways the members of the Faculty of Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong carry on Professor Lau’s dedication to igniting a passion for science among high school students.

Popular Science Special Lecture Series

How to Win a Nobel Prize?

This year, the Faculty of Science is pleased to hold a Popular Special Science Lecture Series “How to Win a Nobel Prize?” for the general public, especially to young people. We hope to deliver more science knowledge by explaining the science behind world-class scientific research.

Popular Science Talks

This is an undertaking in our outreach programme which was started in 1992/93. The Faculty sends our teachers to secondary schools and external organizations such as the Hong Kong Science Museum to deliver popular science lectures to students and the general public.

Prof. Chan Kin-shing of the Department of Chemistry gave a Popular Science Talk entitled "Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2010 and 20xx" on 17 January 2011. For a video clip of the lecture, please click here. For the photo album of the lecture, please click here.
