香港民意研究所（香港民研）主席及行政總裁鍾庭耀，於七月底以世界民意研究學會（WAPOR） 會長身份出席及主持在韓國首爾舉行的周年大會。四日會期，既觸及民意研究的本質，也令鍾 庭耀思考香港民意研究在國際社會的作用。返港後，香港民研編輯團隊將他的反思整理成四篇 文章與大眾分享，最後一篇（Facebook 文章）提到：「民意研究……最重要的是 humanity（人 文精神），強調民意研究的服務對象是 humankind（人類）。回顧過去推進香港、WAPOR 以至 人類歷史發展的工作，他發現自己熱切盼望著一個跨越國界的世界，儘管那在旁人看來近乎信 仰。」另外，編輯團隊亦總結了四篇文章（Facebook 文章），認為文字只是思考的碎片，思考 不會隨著文章而終止，未能用文字刻劃的思緒也將會反映在香港民研的未來發展，希望大家繼 續關注香港民研。
The President and CEO of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI), Robert Chung, attended the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR) Annual Conference in Seoul as its President. The conference prompted Chung to reflect on the role of Hong Kong in the international community. Upon his return to HK, our Editorial Team has organized his reflections into four articles and the last one (Facebook article) reads: “….. the core value of public opinion research is humanity [and serving] humankind. Reflecting on his efforts… he found himself eagerly looking forward to a world that transcends borders, though it may seem more like a faith to many others.” The Editorial Team has also summarized the four articles (Facebook article), adding that words are just fragmented thoughts, and reflection will not end with these articles, but will continue to find their way into the future development of HKPORI. Stay tuned.
