A delegation, led by Chen Jie, secretary of the Party Committee of Harbin Institute of Technology, visited the University of Macau (UM) on 5 August and was warmly received by Yonghua Song, rector of UM. The two parties engaged in in-depth discussions on topics such as research collaboration and joint talent development.
Song said that UM actively leverages its multicultural advantages and is committed to nurturing talent who love the country and Macao and producing more research results. He expressed hope that the two universities will continue to strengthen cooperation in fields such as basic medical science, pharmacy, computer science, materials science, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, artificial intelligence and robotics, and thus foster a virtuous cycle of exchange, cooperation, and development. He also suggested exploring joint research projects and the commercialisation of research outcomes.
The delegation also visited the University Gallery and the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City to gain a deeper understanding of UM’s campus development and its research achievements in recent years. They spoke highly of the university’s rapid development.
