The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) is rising in global standings. But what’s the engine behind this growth?

The answer lies in a purposeful strategy of global bridges and disciplinary fusion.

In GRIFE Podcast Episode III, Professor John LEE Chi-Kin, President EdUHK & Director of Global Research Institute for Finnish, European, and Global South Education (GRIFE) reveals how GRIFE is more than a research institute. It’s a connected platform linking Hong Kong with Finland, Europe, and the Global South.

Theme:

International Collaborations & Interdisciplinary Research Initiatives in Enhancing University Rankings & Global Reputation.

Speaker:

Professor John LEE Chi-Kin, President; Chair Professor of Curriculum and Instruction; Director, Academy for Applied Policy Studies and Education Futures; Director, Academy for Educational Development and Innovation; Director of GRIFE, EdUHK

Moderator:

Professor Yuzhuo CAI, Professor, Department of Education Policy and Leadership; Co-Director of GRIFE, EdUHHK

Here’s what you’ll discover by listening:


Creating the Niche: How GRIFE serves as a flagship initiative, establishing a unique position for EdUHK by bridging Eastern and Western educational models. 
Research with Reach: How collaborations across disciplines lead to joint projects, publications, and a stronger, more vibrant research culture. 
Educating Future Innovators: How GRIFE's MA in Comparative Education and Collaborative Innovation prepares leaders to tackle tomorrow’s challenges. 
Beyond the Metrics: Why rankings motivate us while reminding us of our deeper mission: to nurture talent and contribute meaningfully to society. 



Professor John LEE Chi-Kin leaves us with an inspiring thought:

"While rankings serve as important milestones, they are not the ultimate goal, they only represent markers or broad indicators along our ongoing journey to make meaningful contributions to education and society."
