The SMARTER@HKU HR Task Force has streamlined the appointment process for professoriate staff, enabling the University to become more competitive. It is estimated that the time required for recruitment will be shortened by approximately ten weeks. 

The SMARTER@HKU IT Task Force has introduced several initiatives to streamline IT support work, enhance data security, free up office space and reduce cost as part of the SMARTER@HKU University-wide modernisation. The new projects will make computing faster and our work easier.

Recruiting at HKU has become faster and easier with the rollout of a new Talent Acquisition System and a new career website as part of the SMARTER@HKU University-wide transformation. 

Students and colleagues have been enjoying varied food choices and more flexibility in campus dining with the opening of the new restaurants under the new campus catering concept. 

The University will bring in a new concept to operate and manage the campus catering services in response to the needs and concerns of our students and colleagues. The synchronised efforts will bring a wide and coordinated selection of global and local food choices to the HKU community and ensure consistency in quality. 

The SMARTER@HKU Task Force on Human Resource Organisation and Processes took a review of the University’s professoriate staff appointment process and identified a number of good practices and tips.
