The Global Leadership Link (GLL) Hong Kong aims to give participants real-world perspectives on global issues, and the creative mindset of how applications and solutions in the local context can be modified and implemented in other societies, using the context of urban geography and environmental sustainability. Invited students from various countries will travel to Hong Kong to discuss and present their research projects at Pak Kau College, one of the top ten STEM schools in China. The conference will be coupled with a campus tour and a keynote lecture by a professor from Hong Kong University to widen students’ perspectives on areas such as Economics, Social Issue and Politics.
