Mission & Objectives
The Public Policy Research Centre (the Centre) was established in 2005, as an interdisciplinary research unit under the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies (the Institute) of The Chinese University of Hong Kong. The 25th Anniversary of the Institute also marks the 10th anniversary of the Centre. The Centre strives to promote public policy research on Hong Kong, the Pearl River Delta and also the larger Asia-Pacific region.
To achieve this mission, the Centre strives to:
- Undertake basic and applied social science research on significant public policy issues
- Provide a platform for supporting and stimulating faculty members to carry out public policy research
- Offer a venue for faculty members interested in public policy research to exchange ideas and findings.
- Disseminate widely the findings to the general public and scholarly community and raise public awareness of policy issues
- Act as a bridge between the University and the wider community in the understanding and deliberation of policy issues
During the first 5 years, the PPRC has sponsored and organized policy forums, conferences and seminars. It also has published research reports in the form of policy research paper and prepared policy briefs that provide the public with the background information of major current issues. For projects affiliated to the PPRC, the Centre will provide logistic support in the implementation of the research.
In the recent 5 years, the Centre recognizes the importance of raising the awareness and knowledge of the younger generation on policy issues. Since then, the Centre has begun to work closely with various sectors of the wider community, including but not limited to secondary schools and post-secondary education institutions, to research in youth transitions. The Centre expects to bring social scientific policy research to bear on relevant policy making processes, with emphasis on education, youth, and their transition from school to work.
