The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus is a satellite location in Hong Kong under the University of Chicago. The university opened its Hong Kong campus in November, 2018 with the same tradition of research, education and institutional collaboration as its other overseas campus and centre locations in London, Paris, Beijing, and Delhi.[1][2] As a strategic regional hub, it is an important addition to the University of Chicago’s international presence and engagement throughout Asia. Serving its students, cultivating intellectual research and academic collaboration with partner institutions are objectives of The University of Chicago Francis and Rose Yuen Campus in Hong Kong, while also bringing new opportunities for community partnerships and social impact.[3]

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust has a strong presence on the campus. In addition to providing institutional support, the Trust has been instrumental in building the Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Academic Complex, renovating the Hong Kong Jockey Club University of Chicago Heritage Courtyard and Interpretation Centre and creating The Hong Kong Jockey Club Program on Social Innovation which resides on the campus.[4]
