This is an early alert to the fact that U21's Research Universities and their Regions (RUR) group will be arranging a workshop at Hong Kong University on Thursday 21 November 2013, kindly hosted by Dorothy Cheung and colleagues at the HKU Learning Space.

This event will be held immediately after the Pascal Observatory's 11th conference, also being held in Hong Kong by the Institute of Education from 18-20 November – please see http://conference.pascalobservatory.org for more details.

This workshop will build on the theme of the conference, with its theme, 'Cities Learning Together – Local Communities in the Sustainable and Healthy Learning City' by looking at implications for the U21 universities.

Further details of the workshop and its registration details will be made available shortly on the RUR site.

We look forward to seeing you in Hong Kong.
