🎉 Exciting News from PPOL! 🎉

We are delighted to announce that PPOL Professor Alex HE Jingwei delivered a keynote speech at the Hong Kong College of Community Medicine (HKCCM) Annual Scientific Meeting 2026, held on 19 September 2026 in Hong Kong.

Professor He’s keynote focused on AI governance in the context of healthy ageing and the care continuum, an increasingly urgent topic as Asia-Pacific populations are ageing at an unprecedented rate. Drawing on joint research with Seoul National University and WHO WPRO, he examined AI’s ethical, equitable integration across elderly care pathways.

Professor He also showcased his WHO APO-funded multi-country project, which unites global experts to develop actionable, inclusive policy guidance for responsible digital health innovation and improved population health outcomes.

We sincerely congratulate Professor He on this distinguished keynote speech. This speaking engagement recognizes his impactful research and showcases PPOL's strengths at the intersection of public policy, digital health and ageing studies.

What if you could learn from someone even the media turns to for insights on sustainability?

Meet Dr. Alvin Li.

His expertise in sustainable consumption and social innovation has been featured across Southeast Asia and Europe — and in the HKUST Division of Public Policy (PPOL) MPP classroom, he brings those real-world perspectives directly to students.

Through debates, case studies, and interactive discussions, you'll learn how to think like a policymaker.

🎉 Exciting News from PPOL! 🎉

We are delighted to share that Professor Stuart GIETEL BASTEN, Professor at the Division of Public Policy, HKUST, has published a new article in Canadian Studies in Population, official journal of the Canadian Population Society.

Entitled The roots of equality? Marital age homogamy and female agency in Lesotho, 1880‑Present, his paper investigates long‑term changes in spousal age matching and female agency in Lesotho. By analysing more than a century of historical evidence, the study offers fresh insights into how equality within marriage has evolved over time.

Congratulations to Professor Basten on this fine achievement. The publication underscores PPOL’s commitment to rigorous, global‑focused demographic and social‑policy research.
