In recent years, higher education institutions in Macao and Portugal have implemented a number of collaborations, which take their partnership in the areas of higher education and technology to the next level. It is hoped that UM and ULisboa will jointly accelerate the projects under the cooperation agreement in the field of medical sciences signed by the two universities. At the same time, Macao will continue to play its role as a platform between China and Portuguese-speaking countries to promote academic and research collaborations between higher education institutions in mainland China, Macao, and Portugal, and facilitate quality exchanges between higher education institutions in mainland China and Portugal.
Ferreira said that this visit to Macao enabled him to learn about the rapid development of Macao’s higher education institutions in various fields in recent years, including the establishment of several state key laboratories and the achievement of a number of groundbreaking research results.

He also expressed hope that UM and ULisboa will continue to strengthen their cooperation and exchanges, so as to cultivate top talent for China and Portugal and open a new chapter in higher education cooperation between the two countries.
According to UM Rector Yonghua Song, after the signing of the strategic cooperation framework agreement in April this year, the two universities have implemented a series of collaborations in various academic fields. These include the establishment of a joint research centre, the organisation of annual joint meetings, and the development of joint PhD programmes.
