On September 17, Prof. Samuel Sun presented a 50th Anniversary Fair Public Lecture entitled “Sailing the Seas of Science: The Dream of Hong Kong Plant Scientists” to share with the audience the dream of plant scientists in Hong Kong. The lecture attracted over 130 participants, including academics, students, alumni and members of the public.
During the lecture, Professor Sun introduced the team which was formed by a group of plant scientists from different universities in Hong Kong in 2000. The team’s project succeeded in becoming an Area of Excellence in Plant Biotechnology supported by the University Grants Committee (UGC). In 2006, the team's outstanding achievements received world class assessment by the international monitoring panel of UGC and secured further sustained funding support. It was later approved by the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, which led to the State Key Laboratory of Agrobiotechnology being set up in 2008. Over the years, these scientists have been working together towards a common goal.
