Public Policy

Aging, climate change, social inequalities and other global challenges call for policy responses beyond institutional and disciplinary boundaries. HKUST encourages close collaboration across disciplines and Schools to engage in interdisciplinary policy research as a means to tackle key policy challenges locally and globally, with a particular emphasis on the impact of science and technological innovations on decision-making.
