Five Macao secondary school students represented\nMacao at the 44th International Physics Olympiad, which was held in Copenhagen,\nDenmark, from 7 July to 15 July, and won five medals, including one silver\nmedal, two bronze medals, and two Honourable Mentions, the best results Macao\nhas ever achieved at this competition. The team was led by Dr. Chan Iat Neng\nfrom the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), University of Macau (UM), who\nalso provided training for the five students. 80 countries and regions\nparticipated in this year\u2019s competition, and the Macao team ranked alongside\nteams from advanced countries like the Canadian team in terms of the total\nnumber of medals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFST\u2019s efforts in fostering physics talent are not just\nlimited to training students for the International Physics Olympiad. In recent\nyears FST has been actively collaborating with the Education and Youth Affairs\nBureau of Macao SAR in organising various kinds of activities to help local\nsecondary school students to discover their potential and to promote the\nadvancement of science.
