You are cordially invited to attend the World Accreditation Day and World Standards Day cum HKAS 40th Anniversary Seminar 2025.

The Faculty of Science and Department of Chemistry are co-organizing the ‘Word Accreditation Day and World Standards Day cum HKAS 40th Anniversary Seminar 2025’ with the Hong Kong Council for Testing and Certification (HKCTC) and Hong Kong Accreditation Service (HKAS). The objective of this event is to raise the awareness of the importance and value of accreditation and standards, as well as to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of HKAS.

The World Accreditation Day is an annually global initiative established by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the International Accreditation Forum (IAF) to promote the value of accreditation.  The theme of this year is ‘Accreditation: Empowering Small and Medium (SME) Enterprises’, highlighting the critical role accreditation plays in supporting SMEs around the world.

The World Standards Day is also a global initiative organized by International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU).  This year, World Standards Day focuses on exploring how standards provide a shared framework that enables meaningful collaboration across industries, governments, and organizations to achieve common objectives.

We are honored to announce that Dr Gray Ho, Associate Head (Teaching and Learning) and BSc Programme Director of our department, will be delivering a talk at the seminar. His participation will further enrich the event with valuable perspectives from our faculty; details are as follows:
