New Institute of Policy Studies
To encourage and support cross-faculty, inter-university and international collaboration in the study of economic and social development, policy and governance, Lingnan University has established the Institute of Policy Studies (IPS) to care for the lives around us.
The annual Conference for Higher Education Research (CHER) was organised by IPS, School of Graduate Studies and the Asia Pacific Higher Education Research Partnership in collaboration with the UK’s University of Bath and Durham University in November 2020, offering the education sector a chance to take stock of the valuable lessons that have already been learned, and propose ways forward into a radically different, post-COVID future.
The theme of this year’s conference was Innovations of Higher Education Amid the Pandemic: Institutional Management, Teaching, and Research Perspectives. Ninety distinguished speakers from 13 countries and regions discussed their ideas and analysis with both in- person and online audiences.
