The University of Chicago Hong Kong, announced it has launched Nexus Asia, a program dedicated to collaborating with UChicago PhD alumni and their institutions throughout the Asia Pacific region.
Nexus Asia currently includes an expanding community of over one hundred PhD alumni across forty-four Asian universities representing all of UChicago’s schools, departments and disciplines. In addition to the leading universities in Hong Kong, Nexus alumni include faculty at many of Asia’s most prominent institutions including Peking University, National University of Singapore, Seoul National University and Sophia University.
Nexus will expand UChicago’s practices of open inquiry, deep analytical rigor and interdisciplinary collaboration in addressing significant questions facing the Asia Pacific region and the world. The campus expects the program to accelerate its engagement with other universities in the Asia Pacific Region through UChicago PhD alumni in the program.
In addition to facilitating research, Nexus Asia plans to engage its alumni on its UChicago Hong Kong campus with workshops, lectures and events for academics and the general public.
