Imperial College London’s President & Rector Sir Keith O’Nions and Vice President Professor David Gann CBE hosted an event for alumni at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club in Hong Kong on Saturday, 18 May.

Guest of honour Robert Ness, Director of the British Council Hong Kong, opened proceedings. He highlighted Imperial’s recent league table success – third in Europe and eighth in the world – while congratulating the Imperial College Alumni Association of Hong Kong (ICAAHK) on its work over 31 years to build a strong network in the city, contributing to successful partnerships between Hong Kong and the UK.

Sir Keith updated alumni on Imperial’s vision for a new campus in West London, Imperial West.

He said, “To solve big problems, we need to bring brilliant people from different fields together and give them time and space. At Imperial West we will enable global business and academia to co-locate and form long-term relationships with our researchers.”

Professor Gann explained how Imperial academics are “innovating the innovation process” in science, engineering, medicine and business.

He said: “Imperial West will be a place where ideas collide: where colleagues can come together and challenge preconceived ideas and solve big problems.”

Ken Ho, Chair of ICAAHK, spoke of his pride in being part of the Imperial family, noting that his own department, Civil Engineering, has just been ranked number one in the world.

Mr Ho also announced that ICAAHK are establishing the first ever Hong Kong based mentorship programme for current Imperial students.
