On World Humanitarian Day, 19 August 2025, Lingnan University and United Nations University (UNU) jointly announced the establishment of the UNU Hub on Humanitarian Innovation and Technology (HIT) at Lingnan University  – the first UNU Hub in Asia.
The strategic partnership aims to address global humanitarian challenges through an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses design, research, education, and impact initiatives. This unique Hub will serve as a platform for connecting academia, designers, and field practitioners from the region with the United Nations’ expertise to enhance collaborative contributions to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Hub will also accelerate development of innovative Humanitarian Technology (HT) and research to address the challenges faced by communities living at the Base of the Pyramid (BoP) and in Least Developed Countries (LDCs), particularly across the Global South.
