香港城市大学（大学）将颁授荣誉博士学位予三位杰出人士：塞尔日‧阿罗什教授 (Professor Serge Haroche)、李宗德博士，GBS，OStJ，JP、温德林‧沃纳教授，以表彰他们对教育及社会的重大贡献。颁授仪式将在2017年11月举行。诺贝尔物理学奖得主塞尔日‧阿罗什教授将获颁荣誉理学博士学位。阿罗什教授是城大高等研究院资深院士及法兰西公学院荣休教授，他的研究主要在量子光学及量子资讯科学等范畴。

除空中雾霾易，除心中雾霾难。高等研究院资深院士郭位教授认为这是一个讲究数据的年代，可惜数据常被口号取代而遭误用滥用，如何避免抱著小数据或无数据空洞打转、高调口号几近野兽饥渴似地治理方式的掌权者才是百姓面临的最大挑战呢！

香港城市大学校长及高等研究院资深院士郭位教授日前荣获「亚洲社会关爱领袖奖」，并加入成为「社会关爱企业计划」约章的参与领袖。郭教授出席6月5日举办的社会关爱诺贝尔奖学人颁奖典礼。活动由社会企业研究所及亚洲知识管理学院主办。

There are only four APT laboratories in China but not a single one south of the Yangtze River. That means CityU’s APT Lab is pretty special for the study of nanostructures in advanced materials. And it is even more special because CityU’s APT technology produces data faster, cheaper and more efficiently than any other models. Professor C.T. Liu, IAS Senior Fellow and an expert in new materials, shared his insights on advanced materials.

Really, really small, but very, very strong: this sums up the very specific advanced material that scientists led by IAS Senior Fellow Professor Jian Lu at CityU have created.

IAS Senior Fellow Professor Robert O. Ritchie was named the 2017 winner of the Morris Cohen Award from The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS) for "seminal contributions to the mechanistic understanding of the fracture and fatigue of a broad range of engineering, bioinspired and biological materials". The award was presented at the TMS-AIME Annual Awards Ceremony during the 146th TMS Annual Meeting in San Diego on 1 March 2017.

IAS Senior Fellow Professor Herbert Gleiter was awarded the Medal of Friendship - Order of Merit by Jiangsu Provincial People’s Government of PRC. This order was awarded (for the first time to a citizen from abroad) for the foundation --- in 2011 --- and the successful start of the "Herbert Gleiter Institute of Nanoscience" at Nanjing.

IAS Senior Fellow Professor Way Kuo says information must be properly captured and scientifically analysed to improve our predictions and responses to a whole range of natural and human disasters, free from the interference of ideological biases.

5月4日出版的《自然》纸质版杂志的封面主题是“POWERFUL ALLOY”（“超强合金”），这是一项由香港城市大学副校长、香港城市大学深圳研究院院长、先进结构材料研究中心主任吕坚率领的科研团队取得的科研成果。这也是近年来，中国研究单位在物理、材料科学等领域的成果首次被选为这本权威科学期刊的封面故事。

2017年5月4日，国际顶尖的科学学术期刊《自然》发表了一篇题为“双相纳米结构铸就最强镁合金”的封面文章，这是中国结构材料界本世纪首次在《自然》杂志上发表封面文章，引发业界广泛关注。新材料线上®第一时间对论文通讯作者，法国国家技术科学院院士、香港城市大学副校长吕坚进行了独家专访。
