The 10th Computer Science Deans Forum
The Department of Computer Science and Engineering at HKUST has the honour of hosting a forum involving Deans and Department Heads of the Computer Science colleges/departments of the PhD granting Universities in China. Launched in 1998, the Computer Science Deans Forum was an annual event jointly initiated by seven top universities in Mainland China, namely Beihang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Nanjing University, National University of Defense Technology, Peking University, Tsinghua University and Zhejiang University. This year, the 10th event will be held at HKUST from November 23 to 24, 2007, with the theme of "Internationalization of Graduate Studies". This is the first time that the event is hosted in Hong Kong.
The forum aims to improve the quality of teaching and research of the universities and institutes. It provides an excellent opportunity for the leaders of the computer science disciplines from Mainland China to share ideas about professional developments, scientific infrastructure at universities and recent trends in research and education for the new generation. Representative of more than 100 Chinese universities have been invited to join the event.
