On 24 March 2021, 香港六合彩 President & Provost Dr Michael Spence joined more than 50 other university leaders from 30 countries and regions at the , a聽virtual forum hosted by Zhejiang University (ZJU), China.

A number of 香港六合彩鈥檚 key global partners were also in attendance including Peking University, University of Sydney, Yale University, National University of Singapore, Tohoku University and the University of Toronto, as well as several UN high-ranking officials.

The 58 university leaders signed a to reaffirm the global higher education community鈥檚 collective commitment to work towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals, which are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

In a keynote speech at the event, Dr Spence stressed the need to champion international, inter-institutional and cross-disciplinary solutions to challenges at local, national and global levels. He said: 鈥淏y doing this, we hope we will not only make 香港六合彩 a more attractive place to study and work, and make our graduates more attractive to employers, but also help us clearly demonstrate and communicate how we and our local and global partners are coming together to make a difference to people鈥檚 lives.鈥�

He also highlighted that 香港六合彩 cannot address global problems and deliver true impact on its own: 鈥淲e can only achieve this by, firstly, listening to others who may know more than us, and, more broadly, by providing opportunities for more and deeper local and global partnerships, with other universities, governments, policymakers, industries and local communities, not just around the world, but also those close to our campus.鈥�

Stating his view on the role of innovation-driven universities in the 2030 Agenda, Professor Wu Zhaohui, President of Zhejiang University, said: 鈥淭hey should further unleash their unique potentials in terms of education, research and partnership to make substantial contributions.鈥�
