commendations for Knowledge Transfer at Lingnan 2019/20
"We would like to congratulate LU’s impressive performance in expanding KT activities in the past year, which resulted in an increase of 209% and 54% respectively in cumulative
income from on-going social projects and contract research, as well as a rise of 83% in income from professional projects including consultancies. It is pleased to note that LU has continued to raise the profile of KT at institutional level, as seen in the renaming of the Office of Research Support as the Office of Research and Knowledge Transfer. We hope that LU can sustain the momentum and continue to demonstrate the potential of KT for liberal arts disciplines to the higher education sector."
"We welcome that LU has continued to devote vast efforts in enhancing IP policies, including the establishment of IP Clinic which aims to protect and manage the university’s IP rights in the commercialisation of research outputs and creations, and for the University’s demonstrable record in applied research."
"We also appreciate LU’s efforts in launching the “Fighting COVID-19 @ Lingnan” programme, which has effectively met the changing needs of the society amidst the challenging
moment. We wish that the plan for next phase of the programme would achieve great success and contribute to the community-wide efforts in fighting the coronavirus."
