Twenty years ago, the Centre for Innovation in Construction & Infrastructure Development (CICID) was established in the Department of Civil Engineering of The University of Hong Kong (HKU). The aim of the Centre is to foster continuous improvements and excellence in the construction industry and infrastructure development through innovative strategies and techniques.
To celebrate the Centre’s 20th anniversary, CICID organised the 20th Anniversary Conference themed “Hong Kong 2050 – A City for the People: Capacity, Innovation, Smart and Sustainability”, held on 12 Dec 2022 at HKU. We were honoured to have, as the Guest of Honour of the Conference, Ms. Bernadette Linn, JP, Secretary for Development, HKSAR Government, who delivered the Opening Address. Ms. Linn was joined by Ir Ricky Lau, JP, Permanent Secretary for Development (Works), Professor Richard Wong, SBS, JP, Provost and Deputy Vice-Chancellor, HKU, and other international and local experts at the One-day Conference.
The Conference contributed to the dissemination of innovative concepts and ideas in the construction industry and infrastructure development, and inspired exchanges between participants who are internationally-renowned experts, government, industrial and academia partners from the UK, the US and Hong Kong.
As CICID celebrates its 20th Anniversary in 2022, the Organising Committee of the CICID 20th Anniversary Conference has decided to launch a competition for a logo design which could reflect the changing focus of CICID over the past 20 years while setting the scene for the next 20 years and more.
The competition is open to HKU Alumni, staff, students and associates of HKU CICID, and submissions shall be made in the Participant's own capacity.
You are cordially invited to participate in the competition, and grateful if you could extend the competition to other potential participants. For more details, please refer to the "Competition Guidelines and Design Brief". We look forward to your participation in this important competition.
