The Most Venerable Master Hsing Yun, who has dedicated his whole life to the promotion of the “Humanistic Buddhism” philosophy, shares his words of wisdom in our exclusive interview. Wang Meng, former minister of culture of the People’s Republic China, well-known writer, and the first writer in residence under the Writers-and-Artists-in-Residence Programme of the University of Macau (UM), contributes his insights on cultural development and his vision for the new UM campus. Chair Professor Fan Xitao and Prof. Li Yangmin, director of academic research in the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), UM, discuss their feelings about being named Highly Cited Researcher. Prof. Wang Zhishi, environmental engineer and professor from FST, UM, recounts the research efforts of his team over the past two decades as well as how their research is part of UM’s overall effort to help build a better community in Macao. The above-mentioned people, some with international renown and some being homegrown talent, constitute part of the outstanding faculty team at UM. Of course it’s important for any university aspiring for world-class status to have the best faculty, but having the best facilities is just as important. Fortunately for UM, this second condition will soon materialise with the university’s relocation to the new campus. The new UM campus is an unprecedented project in the history of higher education in Macao, whether in terms of scale, construction schedule or technical complexity. What challenges have UM overcome in the construction process? What challenges will UM face in the process of relocation? The “New Campus Feature” in this issue provides the latest information. In addition to faculty and facilities, another “f” that’s also indispensable to achieving a world-class status is the fellowship of, or in other words, collaboration with, other universities. This issue of umagazine includes an article on a collaboration programme among the Chinese departments at Peking University, Taiwan University, University of Hong Kong and UM, which represents a second collaborative effort on the part of the four universities following their earlier establishment of a joint research centre for Chinese innovative medicines, and which will hopefully offer a new path to Chinese education and academic collaboration between the four Chinese-speaking regions of mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao. Other pieces not to be missed in this issue include the story of UM students’ entrepreneurial experiences at the Lunar New Year Fair, which was written by UM Reporters, as well as two faculty-contributed pieces—one on cultural theories of war, and another on cardio-cerebrovascular disease. I hope you enjoy this issue of umagazine.
