Having received the highest Three-Star Certificate in the Elderly Care Award Scheme organised by the Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing District Co-ordinating Committee on Elderly Services under the Social Welfare Department in 2024 and 2025, Lingnan University has once again been awarded the same honour in 2026. This recognition for the third consecutive year affirms Lingnan’s sustained endeavours to promote the understanding of gerontechnology in order to encourage intergenerational inclusion, and support the well-being of older adults in the community.
In addition, the Jockey Club Gerontechnology and Smart Ageing in Place Project, organised by Lingnan with two non-governmental organisations, The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Council (NAAC) and Yan Oi Tong, increased knowledge of gerontechnology in the community from 2022 to 2025. Recently, the project was nominated by the NAAC and honoured as one of the award-winning projects in the 2025–2026 Hong Kong Ten Outstanding Community Services Award. This award recognises Lingnan’s dedicated efforts to promote gerontechnology and community-based services.
Dr Chloe Siu Pui-yee (second left), Project Manager of the GTSA and Senior Lecturer at the School of Graduate Studies at Lingnan University, says “This award acknowledges Lingnan’s dedicated efforts to promote gerontechnology and community-based services.”
