In March 2023, the College organised an international study fair in which overseas universities and representatives explain and promote their programmes to our students and parents, widening their horizons and providing more study opportunities and articulation pathways to our students. The irst academic conference at the HKU SPACE Community College was held on 7 June 2024. The opening speech was made by the School Director Professor William Lee, followed by the keynote speeches delivered by Professor Julian Tanner and Professor Cecilia Chan from the University of Hong Kong. Thirty-six panels were organised, attracting a total of some 350 participants. Participants came from all universities in Hong Kong, including public and private ones – an unprecedented and a successful conference in the history of the HKU SPACE Community College. Each year, the College holds an Outstanding Teacher Award (OTA) competition. In the summer of 2023, a panel was formed to interview the shortlisted candidates for the OTA. Eleven recipients of the OTA were invited to form two panels and share their teaching experiences during the academic conference in June 2024.
