CUHK actively pursues collaborations with institutions throughout the world to strengthen and complement its research excellence. The University has established a number of institutional-level research collaborations that are of strategic value. The following is a highlight of some of the current international collaborations.
Utrecht University, The Netherlands
Research collaborations between the two universities have been robust. There is a CUHK-UU Joint Centre for Language, Mind and Brain, a joint research programme in musculoskeletal research and regenerative medicine, and a CUHK-University Medical Center Utrecht Joint Research Laboratory of Respiratory Virus and Immunobiology. A tripartite partnership was formed among CUHK, Utrecht University, and University of Toronto to address issues related to public health, cities, and migration.
The University of Sydney, Australia
CUHK has long and close collaboration with the University of Sydney in various research areas including cardiology, diabetes, digital media, and law. Besides, both universities are members of the Worldwide Universities Network and Association of Pacific Rim Universities. Recently, the two universities established the Analytic and Clinical Cooperative Laboratory for Integrative Medicine to bring new technologies and practices for the development of treatments that combine western and Chinese medicine.
University of Cambridge, UK
The links between CUHK and the University of Cambridge date back to the late 1990s. There have been partnerships in place for multi-faceted collaborations, including the Clare Hall Visiting Fellowships, Cambridge-CUHK Joint Laboratory for Bilingualism, a CUHK Fellowship in Autism Neuroscience, and cooperation in CUHK's Global Physician-Leadership Stream of the MBChB Programme.
