Cambridge College Head on University Town Experience Says Government-Industry Cooperation and Interdisciplinary Education Are Key

Professor Girish Menon, head of Lucy Cavendish College at the University of Cambridge, told the South China Morning Post in an interview about the British experience that close cooperation between government and industry and interdisciplinary education are key to a financially viable and successful university town. He believes Hong Kong's international character makes it "best placed" to put young people at the heart of university development, and that the experience can serve as a reference for Hong Kong's development of the Northern Metropolis.
