Established as a chapter of The Hong Kong Academy of Sciences (ASHK), YASHK leverages on ASHK’s established strengths and network with the academic, industrial and public sectors by capitalizing on its academic excellence and tying in with the region’s development needs.

Through the establishment of YASHK, we aim at forming a vibrant community of aspiring young scientists dedicated to serving the community, who will in turn serve to enlighten and groom future talents in science, innovation and technology. More importantly, YASHK will provide a perfect platform for young voices to be heard and for the younger generation to be organized to make meaningful contribution to the Hong Kong community and forging a better research and education environment for science and technology.
