On March 22, 2017, HKU has launched the Ditch Disposal Campaign to reduce single use plastic water bottles on campus.
We encourage conference participants to use the reusable water bottle included in the conference pack. The points for refilling drinkable water can be found here. There will also be drinkable water in the classrooms for concurrent sessions.
To save paper, we have also printed a shorter version of the programme this year and introduced a mobile App with which participants can access the abstracts of the papers in the concurrent sessions. We encourage participants to download and use the App. Please follow the instructions here to do so – [Coming Soon]
