Tertiary Institutions: Orbis Future Vision Leaders Program 2026/27

This year, we’ve introduced three participation categories—Heal the Future, Visionary Startup, and Educator 2.0—enabling students from diverse backgrounds to form teams and compete creatively. Join us to enhance your network and contribute to eyecare and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)!

The Orbis Future Vision Leaders 2026/27 Campaign connects university students with international networks to deploy localized solutions across Hong Kong, raising eye health literacy and preventing avoidable blindness.

Last year, students stepped beyond the classroom to lead community initiatives, inspire public engagement, and champion the cause of eye health across Hong Kong.

We welcome students from all tertiary institutions. Whether you are pursuing a Bachelor's Degree, Postgraduate studies, Higher Diploma, or Associate Degree, you are eligible to join. Both local and international students, whether full-time or part-time, are welcome. Simply form a team (2–5 members) and fill out the online registration form. The Orbis Campus team will contact you for more details.

Southern DHC Health Centre

"Being the president of the Orbis future vision leaders, in the past, I’ve been involved in the organization of conferences for Doctors Without Borders. And for me, Orbis is kind of the Doctors Without Borders for eyecare. I looked into Orbis a bit more and realized there were no student opportunities per se. I wanted to create a way for medical students and residents to get involved."

Dr. Dominique Geoffrion, International Chair, Orbis Future Leaders Program
