Yonghua Song, rector of the University of Macau (UM), attended the Seminar on Building China into a Leading Country in Education, Carrying Out the Basic Task of Fostering Virtue through Education, and Promoting Integrated Development of Education, Technology and Talent held at the Southern University of Science and Technology. The event brought together presidents from various universities to discuss critical issues related to nurturing top-tier innovators in the new era and to offer practical insights for advancing the construction of a leading country in education.
Song delivered a presentation titled ‘UM’s “3-in-1” Development and Layout in the Context of Building China into a Leading Country in Education.’ He systematically explained the university’s development and the demands of the era, highlighted the progress made in recent years, and provided an in-depth interpretation of the layout and practice of UM’s innovation ecosystem. He emphasised that, as a leading higher education institution under the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, UM is committed to serving Macao and integrating itself into the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. In the future, UM will continue to promote ‘Dual Campus Integration’ and establish an educational framework that is balanced, interdisciplinary, research-driven, and collaborative. To further strengthen its research and innovation capabilities, UM will leverage its research platforms to deepen industry-academia collaboration in the Greater Bay Area and support the national goal of achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance. In additional, UM will also develop the Macao as an international hub for high-calibre talent, attracting outstanding faculty and students. Through a ‘university-industry-city’ model, UM will support the integration of Macao and Hengqin and contribute to the diversification of Macao’s economy, becoming an example of the successful implementation of the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy in Macao.
Wang Chunming, director of the Global Affairs Office at UM, also attended the event.
