過去40年,一代代澳大人不懈研發創 新科技,並致力將它們轉化為改善人 們生活的產品和服務。澳大目前在中 醫藥質量、芯片設計、智慧城市物聯 網、精準醫學、先進材料、大數據、人 工智能等方面已有可喜成績。 當前澳門經濟急需轉型,科技發展更 見重要,澳大作為澳門唯一的綜合性 公立大學,近年積極落實習近平主席 有關「創造更多科研成果」的指示,緊 扣國家發展戰略、配合澳門特區政府 施政部署,全力推動科技成果轉化, 促進澳門產業多元化發展。 約30年前,澳大已開展人工智能方 面的教學和研究,近年更與海內外 院校和企業加強合作,攜手研發真 正惠及所有人的技術、產品和服務。 今期《澳大新語》聚焦大學多個人工 智能科研項目及其應用,包括自動 巴士、無人船、工業機器人、智慧旅 遊和偽造圖像偵測,全部切合澳門 發展所需,也展現了澳大為推進粵 港澳大灣區建設國際科技創新中心 的不懈努力。 我們也介紹了澳大另外兩個重要科 研方向,分別是制訂在國際性藥典 的中藥質量標準和區域海洋研究。 此外,我們也專訪了社會科學學院 院長胡偉星教授、哲學與宗教學教 授王慶節。在「學術研究」專欄,澳大 學者介紹新冠疫情與犯罪,以及近 年推動哥德文學研究的進展。 Over the past four decades, generations of researchers at the University of Macau (UM) have developed many innovative technologies and transformed them into products and services that can improve people’s lives, most notably in such fields as Chinese medical sciences, internet of things for smart cities, chip design, precision medicine, advanced materials, big data, and artificial intelligence. Indeed, not only has technological innovation become ever more important to Macao in view of the pressing need to upgrade the city’s industrial structure, but it has also been elevated to the status of national strategy, as is reflected in President Xi Jinping's explicit instructions for higher education institutions in Macao to ‘attain more achievements in scientific research’. As the only public comprehensive university in the city, UM actively carries out President Xi’s instructions and closely aligns itself with national development strategies and the Macao SAR government’s policies, in order to promote technology transfer and the diversification of Macao’s economy. This issue of UMagazine focuses on the AI projects conducted by professors at UM, which began its AI education and research three decades ago. In recent years, we have strengthened our partnerships with universities and companies at home and abroad to develop new AI technologies, products, and services that will truly benefit everyone. We spotlight some of our most exciting projects, including a self-driving bus, unmanned marine vessels, industrial robots, and software for smart tourism and image forgery detection. These projects, which will find broad applications in Macao, prove our effort to support the GuangdongHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area’s transformation into a global technology and innovation hub. In this issue, we also bring you stories about two important research areas: establishing quality standards for Chinese medicinal herbs for major pharmacopoeias and regional oceanology. Other stories not to be missed include interviews with Faculty of Social Sciences Dean Prof Richard Hu and Prof Wang Qingjie in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, as well as two articles in the ‘Academic Research’ column, which discuss the impact of the COVID-19 on crime and its control, and the latest developments in Gothic scholarship at UM. 編者的話 張惠琴 Katrina Cheong EDITOR’S WORDS
