澳大校長於APAIE分享跨領域教育創新實踐
澳門大學校長宋永華到香港參加亞太國際教育協會（APAIE）年會暨展覽，深度參與國際高等教育交流與合作探討，全方位展現澳大在跨領域教育創新的實踐成果與國際化辦學的前瞻視野，為亞太地區高等教育的創新發展與全球教育合作貢獻澳大力量。
是次年會的校長論壇以“在全球風險時代構建韌性與信任”為主題，宋永華作為重要嘉賓受邀參加校長對話環節，在“未來導向的教育：培養應對變革世界的學生”專題研討中，分享澳大應對全球變局的教育探索與實踐。他指出，當今世界科技變革加速、全球不確定性攀升，以及不實資訊泛濫，大學作為人才培育與知識創新的重要載體，必須打破學院與科系壁壘，以跨領域整合為根本途徑，推動教育體系系統性改革，這是培養能應對複雜全球變化及推動未來創新人才的關鍵所在。

UM rector discusses interdisciplinary educational innovation at APAIE Conference
Yonghua Song, rector of the University of Macau (UM), attended the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) 2026 Conference and Exhibition in Hong Kong. During the event, he engaged in in-depth discussions on international exchange and cooperation in higher education, presenting UM’s achievements in interdisciplinary educational innovation and its forward-looking vision for internationalisation, contributing UM’s strength to the innovative development of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region and global educational cooperation.
Song was a guest speaker at the Presidents Dialogue, which took place during the conference and was themed ‘Building Resilience and Trust in an Era of Global Risks. During the panel discussion ‘Future-Proofing Education: Preparing Students for a World of Disruptions ’, Song presented UM’s educational approaches and initiatives in response to global transformations. He noted that the world today is marked by accelerating technological change, rising global uncertainties, and the widespread dissemination of misinformation. As key institutions responsible for talent cultivation and knowledge innovation, universities must break down the traditional barriers between faculties and disciplines. He added that interdisciplinary integration is essential for driving systemic reform in higher education and nurturing innovative talent capable of navigating complex global challenges.
In addition, Wang Chunming, director of the UM Global Affairs Office, delivered a presentation at the exhibition. He outlined UM’s philosophy of connecting Eastern and Western cultures, strengthening interdisciplinary intellectual pursuits, and promoting internationalisation beyond geographical boundaries.
Established in 2004, the Asia-Pacific Association for International Education (APAIE) is a widely recognised platform for higher education exchange. It aims is to promote the development and cooperation of higher education in the Asia-Pacific region.
