The “5th Summer Camp for Outstanding Students”, co-organized by the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) and the Institute of Collaborative Innovation (ICI) at the University of Macau (UM), has recently concluded with success. The camp attracted applications from over 800 excellent undergraduate and graduate students from around the globe, demonstrating the international appeal and influence of the FST and ICI in the global academic and educational arena. Around 100 students were selected to participate, including those from renowned universities such as the University of Manchester, the University of Washington, the University of Liverpool, the University of Toronto, and the University of Malaya. The program also brought together elite students from top Chinese universities, such as Peking University, Nanjing University, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Xi’an Jiaotong University, University of Science and Technology of China, Harbin Institute of Technology, and Zhejiang University, further enhancing UM’s reputation and impact in the international academic community.
During the camp, under the guidance of renowned professors in various fields, students gained in-depth understanding of cutting-edge research areas, visited multiple state key laboratories and research centers, and experienced the charm of frontier technologies while discussing the hottest topics in science and technology. Through close interactions, students received valuable advices on academic and career development. In addition, the camp also arranged campus tours of UM and cultural experience tours of Macao, allowing students to directly experience UM’s internationalized learning environment and the rich historical and cultural landscape of Macao.
Dai Ningyi, Assistant Dean of FST, who was responsible for the overall coordination and organization of this summer camp, stated that the hosting of this camp is not only an important step in our efforts to promote international collaboration and exchange, as well as cultivate future technological talents, but also hope to invite more capable and ambitious young talents to join UM. As FST marks its 35th anniversary, she expressed gratitude for the long-term support from various university units, including the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City, the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI, Centre for Regional Oceans, Centre for Data Science, Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, and Centre for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, which have collectively built a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and high-quality learning and exchange platform to help international students gain a deeper understanding of UM’s unique characteristics and strengths.
As the 2024/2025 academic year approaches, FST and ICI are fully prepared to recruit students from across the world for 15 master’s programmes and 5 doctoral programmes, continuing the mission of cultivating high-quality technological talents and contributing to the construction of a smart future.
