Lee Shau Kee School of Business and Administrations of The Open University of Hong Kong (OUHK) and LaLiga (through its Educative Department, LaLiga Business School) signed a Memorandum of Understanding today (26 November) to establish collaborations in promoting sports training, research, technical assistance and dissemination projects.
The Signing Ceremony took place on OUHK campus. The MOU was signed by Dean of the School, Prof. Alan Au Kai Ming, and Mr Eduard Castell, Delegate of LaLiga Global Network Hong Kong SAR. Under this partnership, OUHK students will be able to gain knowledge and widen their experience through study tours, seminars and networking events co-organized by the two parties.
“Our School has always valued opportunities for our students to gain global exposure and industry engagement experiences, so we are truly honoured to have an ally as valuable as LaLiga on our side,” said Prof. Alan Au. “This agreement demonstrates our shared vision in the development of future sports leaders. We look forward to learning from LaLiga in sports management education, brand management and more. We also hope to support LaLiga’s conscientious efforts in promoting and professionalizing the sports industry.”
“The aim of this strategic agreement is to establish a mutual collaboration in order to exchange knowledge, as well as to show LaLiga’s firm commitment in Hong Kong SAR to training and education, which is an essential step in the professionalization of the industry,” said Mr Eduard Castell.
Head of LaLiga Business School Mr José Moya said for LaLiga, education is a key pillar of its philosophy as an Institution. LaLiga is very happy to have the opportunity to continue sharing its expertise in Asia, in this case in Hong Kong SAR. They are keen on learning from the Open University as its partner. He thinks that the agreement would reassert LaLiga's commitment to professionalize the sporting sector and, in tune with its slogan, 'It's not football. It's LaLiga', which puts them at the forefront of all leagues, not just in sporting terms but in educational standards too.
