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.

香港科技大學（科大）最新研究顯示，一種名為TREM2 H157Y的遺傳變異會顯著增加中國人群罹患阿爾茲海默症的風險。研究發現，此遺傳變異所帶來的致病風險，與目前已知最強的阿爾茲海默症遺傳風險因子APOE-ε4相近，能使病情迅速惡化和帶來更嚴重的神經退行性病變。
這項研究是該領域首個針對中國人群多發的阿爾茲海默症遺傳風險因子TREM2 H157Y遺傳變異所進行深入的家族臨床個案研究。研究成果已刊登於國際權威科學期刊 Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association，對疾病監測和病人照顧影響深遠。
