澳大推進與英國及巴西高校合作
為進一步拓展及深化與英語及葡語國家高等院校的人才培養和科研合作，推進澳大國際化戰略的發展，澳門大學代表團分別前往英國和巴西多所頂尖高校進行學術訪問，與相關專家學者探討交流合作機會。
為深化與英國高校的夥伴關係，開拓嶄新合作機會，澳大代表團到訪英國頂尖高校劍橋大學、倫敦帝國學院、布里斯托大學、巴斯大學、薩里大學和倫敦瑪麗王后大學與相關院長、管理層和學者探討學生交流及科研合作。因應澳門在粵港澳大灣區的策略性發展，雙方重點探討旅遊管理學和金融科技兩個範疇，包括定期舉行學術研討會、合辦學術會議、教學人員互訪、共同教學的可能性等。雙方亦就舉辦高級管理人員教育課程交流心得，探討合作機會。
此外，代表團亦與正在布里斯托大學和倫敦瑪麗王后大學學習的澳大榮譽學院學生會面，了解他們參加“榮譽學院在外留學計劃”的得著和體驗，並與各高校的國際夥伴負責單位探討進一步合作。
是次代表團成員包括澳大榮譽學院院長黎寧、工商管理學院副院長雷智豪和綜合度假村及旅遊管理學系系主任苗莉。代表團認為是次訪問加深了各高校對澳大發展狀況的了解，也促進了建立具有國際化特色和競爭力的高水平學術合作。
深化與葡語國家高校合作是澳大國際化戰略的另一項重點工作。另一澳大代表團訪問享譽全球的科教智庫機構 “熱圖里奧·瓦加斯基金會”（FGV）和巴西多所頂尖高校，包括巴西聖保羅大學、坎皮納斯州立大學、里約熱內盧聯邦大學和里約熱內盧天主教大學，與各高校代表探討在現有合作的基礎上開拓嶄新的合作領域和建立互惠共贏的創新合作模式。澳大和各高校均表示同意建立更密切的合作關係、優化及拓展校際師生交換項目、發掘創新科研合作領域、建立雙方或多方合作平台，以及共同推動學術研討會和其他科教活動。
澳大一直與巴西高校保持緊密的溝通和合作，現時與10多所巴西高校建立學生交換項目，並透過葡萄牙語大學聯會、中國與葡語國家海洋研究聯盟、中國澳門特別行政區與葡語國家學術圖書館聯盟等國際聯盟平台與巴西高校推動科教交流和學術資源共享。澳大將繼續致力促進與巴西及其他葡語國家的學術合作和交流，充分發揮澳大在高等教育的交流橋樑角色，為澳門特區培育優秀的中葡雙語人才及創造更多的國際合作機會。
代表團成員包括澳大社會科學學院院長胡偉星及全球事務總監王瑞兵等。

UM strengthens cooperation with higher education institutions in UK and Brazil
To strengthen cooperation in talent training and research with higher education institutions in English and Portuguese-speaking countries and promote the development of the university’s internationalisation strategy, delegations from the University of Macau (UM) have recently visited a number of top universities in the UK and Brazil and explored opportunities for cooperation with experts and scholars in related fields.
A UM delegation, led by Lai Neng, dean of the Honours College (HC), Loi Chi Ho, associate dean of the Faculty of Business Administration, and Miao Li, head of the Department of Integrated Resort and Tourism Management, visited several top universities in the UK to discuss collaboration in student exchange and research. These universities include the University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University of Bristol, University of Bath, University of Surrey, and Queen Mary University of London. The visit has not only deepened the understanding of UM’s development among UK universities, but also established academic collaborative initiatives with international characteristics and global competitiveness, which include academic activities in tourism management and financial technology, as well as executive programmes. The delegation members also met with HC students who are currently studying at the University of Bristol and Queen Mary University of London to learn about their experience with the HC Study Abroad Programme.
Another UM delegation, led by Hu Weixing, dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and Wang Ruibing, director of the Global Affairs Office, visited the world-renowned research-education institution and think-tank Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) and several top universities in Brazil. These universities include the University of São Paulo, State University of Campinas, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, and Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro. Representatives of UM and the Brazilian universities expressed their intention to establish closer cooperation, optimise and expand exchange programmes for students and faculty, promote collaboration in innovative research, build bilateral or multilateral cooperation platforms, and jointly hold academic conferences and other educational activities.
