Hong Kong, a vibrant metropolis where East meets West, stands not only as a global financial and economic powerhouse, but also as a dynamic hub for cultural dissemination and societal innovation.

Joining online and in-person connectivity, this hybrid conference will take place in Hong Kong (final location to be updated soon), welcoming scholars worldwide to engage in thought-provoking academic exchanges.
