On August 21, 2026, City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK) hosted the International Conference on Applied Mathematics 2026 (ICAM 2026), organized by the Liu Bie Ju Centre for Mathematical Sciences (LBJ), where it presented the 2026 William Benter Prize in Applied Mathematics, reinforcing its standing as a hub for applied and computational mathematics research and cross-border scientific dialogue. Previously, on August 20, CityUHK launched "Rehab-Link," a community healthcare and home rehabilitation initiative developed in partnership with Seamless Seek & Serve (3S), designed to translate research into smart elderly care. Concurrently, the university announced its integration of AI and frontier technologies for the smart conservation of horseshoe crabs. Earlier the same day, CityUHK achieved a global ranking of 95th in the 2026 Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU), rising four places from last year and securing its 2nd position in Hong Kong for the second consecutive year. This follows CityUHK's senior leadership visit to the University of Cambridge on August 19, where it strengthened existing ties and explored new avenues for joint research, talent development, and global student exchange.
