Interdisciplinary Quick Talks is an HKU Knowledge Exchange (KE) series to promote interdisciplinarity and to share evidence-based knowledge on challenging issues from multiple perspectives with the community.

Please contact KEO at keoffice@hku.hk for enquiries.
While Hong Kong boasts the highest life expectancies in the world, this bustling city faces crucial public health challenges such as an ageing population, many forms of pollution, geographical constraints, and climate change.
Health is one of the cornerstones of a thriving city. It is more than provision of hospitals and fighting epidemic. Promoting healthy living is a common thread of various aspects of public policy such as housing, town planning, and environmental protection. Advancing public health is therefore inextricably linked to interdisciplinary studies involving complex cross-cutting issues.
The upcoming Interdisciplinary Quick Talks will be a platform for experts, policy makers, practitioners and partners from different sectors and disciplines to share their views on health and the city. Our researchers will share their studies on advancing health from different perspectives. There will be an exchange of ideas on interdisciplinary research at the cut-across dialogue.
Health involves everyone in the city. Please join the Quick Talks and share your views with us.
