国际知名的科研大学香港科技大学致力建立一个环保校园，并旨在于广泛小区担任领导角色，以实践和推动可持续发展概念。 其中值得注意的例子，就是科大在创校之初采用海水制冷技术，为学术大楼中央冷气系统供冷。其后，科大把这项先驱技术扩展至全新落成、楼高八层的郑裕彤楼，透过扩充原有的中央供冷站产能，建立区域性制冷系统，从而达致最高效能和减少碳排放。 上述项目有效节省数百万元的营运成本和减低耗电量，因而得到国际认可，获美国能源工程师学会颁授2016年亚太区年度能源计划大奖。预期这项优化计划可减低郑裕彤楼的每年耗电量达20%至35%，并节省港币150万元的营运及维修费用。 在「科大2020 可持续发展挑战」计划下，科大承诺在2020年或之前减低整个校园的耗电量达10%。这项行动计划旨在建立可持续发展社群网络，研发和评估可持续发展教育的新路向，并率先减少能源消耗和固体废物，以及减排温室气体。 自2014/15学年起，科大温室气体排放和整体固体废物量已分别减少逾13%及4%，而废物回收量则增加15%。另外，科大已投放资源落实多项减废计划，而本校学生亦尽展所长，当中「可持续校园领袖计划」的学生环保代表（Eco-reps）举办绿色市集（Green Products Fair）和Lunch Box Go Green等环保活动，藉此于校园内推广可持续发展概念。

One of the first HKUST students to join the HeadStart@HKUST Program, which combines Internship, Mentorship and Fellowship, Beatrice Chan spent her internship last summer with Taiwan Public Television Service and found it gave new impetus to her personal dreams. Assigned to the production team of Taiwan Outlook, a talk show that gives Chinese communities worldwide latest insights into the political, economic and cultural environment in Taiwan, Beatrice was given the responsibility of producing her own 50-minute episode – despite having no previous experience of the TV industry. “I had to do my own background research, decide who I wanted to interview, prepare my own questions and even help with the post-production afterwards.  It was a huge challenge for me as I’m not a journalism major, so was not even sure of the best way to ask questions.”

香港科技大学于三月二十三日假香港赛马会大堂举行「弦梦成真」音乐会，由十五名获特别培训的科大学生与科大管弦乐团合奏，更邀得蜚声国际的小提琴家兼香港弦乐团艺术总监姚珏女士担任独奏嘉宾。是次音乐会是科大艺术中心主办的2017年科大艺术节的重点活动，当晚吸引近千名观众到场，科大校长陈繁昌教授以吉他伴奏，参与演出Beyond 乐队著名歌曲时，更是掀起了音乐会全晚的高潮。 科大虽是一所研究型国际学府，亦竭力提倡学生对艺术和音乐的兴趣，及鼓励参与文化活动，培育学生全人发展，启发创新思维，成就他们的锦绣未来。 学位课程以外，科大透过提升音乐方面的培育，让学生发掘自己的多元潜能和实现梦想。是次音乐会是「弦梦成真师友计划」演出巡礼的一部份，由香港弦乐团和八大院校合作，展开为期十八个月的训练和演出。经过严谨甄选，参与计划的学生获香港弦乐团的音乐家专业指导和交流，并得到宝贵的演出经验。 数周前在三月十一日，由八大院校的精英组成的「二十一世纪联校乐团」，在奥斯卡获奖作曲家谭盾的指导下举办了一场音乐会。获选拔参与的演奏者当中，有七位是来自科大，包括两位本科生，三位研究生和两位校友。
