Organized in partnership with the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong & Macau, the festival showcased HKUST's world-class capabilities in marine science research and education. Through a diverse range of public activities including talks, film screening, hands-on workshops, virtual reality experiences, and tours of HKUST's state-of-the-art Ocean Research Facility, participants delved deep into conservation and sustainable utilization of marine resources.
An exclusive dialogue took place between faculty from HKUST's Department of Ocean Science (OCES) and distinguished guests from the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong and Macau, fostering a dynamic exchange on HKUST’s latest research findings and opportunities to further advance discoveries and education in marine and ocean sciences. The festival concluded with a memorable closing ceremony organized by OCES.

香港科技大学（科大）最新研究显示，一种名为TREM2 H157Y的遗传变异会显著增加中国人群罹患阿尔茨海默症的风险。研究发现，此遗传变异所带来的致病风险，与目前已知最强的阿尔茨海默症遗传风险因子APOE-ε4相近，能使病情迅速恶化和带来更严重的神经退行性病变。
这项研究是该领域首个针对中国人群多发的阿尔茨海默症遗传风险因子TREM2 H157Y遗传变异所进行深入的家族临床个案研究。研究成果已刊登于国际权威科学期刊Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association，对疾病监测和病人照顾影响深远。
