Exchanges with Sports Professionals

The HKSI maintains frequent exchanges with sports professionals in mainland China and overseas, in order to stay at the forefront of global trends in elite sports development in areas such as athlete training, coaching, sports science and sports management.

MOUs for Collaboration

The HKSI Chairman and delegates meet with representatives of the Preparation Office for the Olympic Games of the General Administration of Sport of China.

A six-member delegation led by Dr Lam Tai-fai, Chairman of the HKSI, met with representatives of the Preparation Office for the Olympic Games of the General Administration of Sport of China on 5 May 2018 in Beijing, China, to discuss the establishment of a Hong Kong Office under the Preparation Office to take forward joint Olympic Games preparation projects. The Preparation Office appointed Dr Lam as the Director of the Hong Kong Office. A follow-up visit was held on 11 June 2018 with a delegation of seven members led by Dr Lam. Meetings with several sports organisations in Beijing, including badminton, cycling, fencing and table tennis, were held to discuss the implementation of joint training programmes for Hong Kong athletes to prepare for the upcoming Asian Games and Olympic Games. This has led to unprecedented level of access for the Hong Kong teams to train with the China national teams.

The HKSI signed an MOU with Chinese Taipei’s Landseed Hospital on 30 November 2018 to offer convenient, timely and efficient medical services for HKSI Scholarship Athletes who sometimes train and compete there; and to establish a cooperative framework to share information and best practices in the field of sports medicine.
