What is the Centre for Innovation (CFI)?

The Centre for Innovation (CFI) is a project-based virtual entity (rather than a physical setup) that serves as a central mechanism to coordinate and implement various innovative projects of the University. The CFI has three principal responsibilities:

1.		Research the innovative use of emerging technologies, advanced applications and improved pedagogical practices to assess their feasibility and applicability in the OUHK environment.
2.		Develop innovative practices by applying mature and proven technologies to enhance academic offerings and operations, and optimize student learning processes and administrative efficiencies.
3.		Implement technologies and pedagogies known to be useful to educational delivery but not yet deployed due to resource and time constraints.

The Centre will be able to facilitate the conversion of innovative ideas into feasible projects that will help the OUHK to develop the infrastructure needed for modern e-learning. The University has received a Government grant of $ 62.8 M for the CFI project.
