Can multilateral institutions remain relevant in an era of increasing divisions and shifting alignments? In dialogue with Mr. Ronnie Chan, Chairman of Asia Society Hong Kong Center, Professor NgaireWoods, founding Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government and Professor of Global Economic Governance at Oxford University, will explore these questions and what these developments mean for the future of globalization and the ‘rules-based international order’. |

Private viewing of 'Martin Parr: Oxford' exhibit
Date: Thursday 5 December 2019
Time: 7:00 – 9:00pm
Venue: f22 foto space, 5th Floor, Amber Commercial Building, 70-74 Morrison Hill Road, Wanchai (a six-minute walk from Causeway Bay MTR Exit A and Times Square)
Cost: Free admission, pre-registration required (limited capacity on a first-come, first-served basis).
Registration: By email at [email protected] before 22 November
Martin Parr, one of the world’s leading photographers, spent two years to document a ‘hidden Oxford’ with his characteristically witty and unflinching eye. Commissioned by The Bodleian Libraries and Oxford University Press, Parr’s photographs capture the quirks of university life as he finds them, albeit with certain degrees of control and construction.
Parr’s photographs reveal aspects of university life and academic communities that are rarely accessible to the outsider. Parr looks behind-the-scenes at Oxford rituals, ceremonies, and traditions that still hold significance today. He shows students’ antics at sporting events, clubs, and societies, as well as the core university activities of research and teaching.
A selection of Parr’s Oxford photographs is being exhibited in Hong Kong for the first time at f22 foto space from 5 December 2019 to 15 February 2020. For more information, please visit https://www.f22.com/en/.
This event is generously supported by Mr. Douglas So, the founder and director of f22 foto space. The University thanks Mr. So for making the private viewing possible.

Viewing Black Holes
Date: Thursday 16 May 2019
Time: 7:00 – 8:30pm
Venue: Cafe 8 (Roof Level, Hong Kong Maritime Museum, Central Ferry Pier No. 8 Hong Kong)
Cost: Free admission (very limited capacity on a first-come, first-served basis). Food and drinks at cost.
RSVP: Registration is required. Please email: [email protected] to register.
On 10 April of this year, humankind viewed for the first time an image of a black hole. The popular press described the event as “revolutionary.” But the thrill felt by many astronomers lay in just how well our guesswork and expectations were in fact confirmed. It looked just like a black hole ought to look.
If not a true revolution, the image was certainly a culmination, led by great scientists from Einstein to Schwarzschild to Penrose & Hawking. Their beautiful mathematical work laid the foundations for our understanding of black holes, first engendering, then ultimately overcoming, decades of controversy.
In this presentation, Professor Steven Balbus, a Shaw Prize winner, will talk about black holes: what they are, why they were for so long controversial, how the evidence for their existence steadily grew, what the latest spectacular result from the Event Horizon Telescope actually reveals, and what mysteries remain.

Introduction to OSCAR
The Oxford Suzhou Centre for Advanced Research (OSCAR) is the University of Oxford's first overseas centre for physical science and engineering research, primarily expanding on activities from across the University's Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division.
OSCAR was established initially with a grant from Suzhou Industrial Park, where many strategic benefits are offered to Oxford's research mission through access to state-of-the-art facilities, a research environment enriched by numerous universities and Chinese Academy Institutes, and a substantial company base.
OSCAR offers an exciting new frontier for the University of Oxford to develop and showcase its research excellence in physical and engineering sciences, with a dedicated Centre in a unique, globally-focused environment.
Situating laboratories in the impressive Suzhou Industrial Park will enable Oxford academics to strengthen existing partnerships and form new links, benefitting their research programmes and advancing technologies closer to market. Through these partnerships, OSCAR can develop solutions that will help to address important challenges faced not only by the UK and China, but across the globe.
Initial research programmes will be led by groups from the University departments of Engineering Science, Physics, Chemistry and Materials. Initial research activities are clustered across the following themes:
Biomedical Engineering and Healthcare
Environment and Biotechnology
Nanotechnology and Functional Materials
