HKUST Accounting Research Symposium

Organized by the Department of Accounting, the Annual Accounting Symposium was held on campus on December 14-15. The event kicked off with welcome remarks by Professor HUNG Mingyi, Head of the Accounting Department.

The symposium received many high-quality papers, with eight papers selected for presentation. More than 70 participants attended the conference, including faculty members and research postgraduate students from numerous local and overseas institutions.

This annual symposium serves as a key platform to exchange ideas and insights with top international researchers in accounting. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (HKICPA) for being the sponsor of this conference.

Hong Kong Strategy Symposium

The Department of Management organized the 2023 Hong Kong Strategy Symposium on December 9. The theme of the symposium this year was “APs Help APs” (i.e. Assistant Professors help Assistant Professors).

The event featured nine paper presentations, with each presented by an assistant professor and reviewed anonymously by another assistant professor from other sister universities such as HKU and CUHK. The symposium attracted over 60 participants from the local research community and was highly successful in enhancing collaboration and support among strategy and organization theory scholars. This event is hosted by local universities on a rotating basis every year.
