Some of the projects are currently undergoing a process of technology transfer in Macao, the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin and other parts of the GuangdongHong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and are expected to generate economic value and promote the development of various industries. The cover story of this issue’s UMagazine features UM’s new ‘5-in‑1’ system for research innovation and results transfer. The system is one of the key initiatives set out in the university’s Five-Year Development Plan (Academic Years 2021/2022 to 2025/2026). We interviewed Rector Yonghua Song, Vice Rector Ge Wei, and some other professors about how the system can help UM researchers bring their research results from the laboratory to the production line. Macao is a unique and linguistically diverse community, with three primary written languages and four primary spoken languages. Taking advantage of this multilingual and multicultural environment, UM has gathered linguists from around the world who developed a model of language education with distinctive characteristics on the campus. In this issue, we talk to these scholars to gain a deeper understanding of language teaching at UM. We also interviewed Prof Angus Chu, head of the Department of Economics, and Prof Jeremy De Chavez, assistant professor in the Department of English and recent recipient of the UM Teaching Excellence Award. These two professors shared with us their experience in teaching and research. The Academic Research column explores two of the latest research topics at UM, namely the contagiousness of the SARS-CoV-2 Delta strain and the role of artificial intelligence in identifying compounds from traditional Chinese medicine with therapeutic potential against Alzheimer’s disease. UM is the only university in Macao with a residential college (RC) system, which is a multicultural and multidisciplinary learning platform for knowledge integration. Consisted of ten unique RCs, the RC system embodies the concept of whole-person education at the undergraduate level through a ‘4-in-1’ model that includes discipline-specific education, general education, research and internship education, and community and peer education. To help readers learn more about each RC, we have launched a new section titled RC Development. In this issue, the section covers an entrepreneurship model that Cheng Yu Tung College has developed to help students start businesses, and explores the characteristics of Moon Chun Memorial College that make it a multidisciplinary and international institution. 編者的話 張惠琴 Katrina Cheong EDITOR’S WORDS

UM has worked together with its partners to foster the development of four new industries in Macao and Hengqin: health, modern finance, high technology, as well as exhibitions and trade/culture and sports. The collaborations also facilitate the transfer of research results from the laboratory to the production line, enabling the translation of research results. Matching Research Results with the Right Enterprises According to UM Rector Yonghua Song, technological research results of universities should ultimately be commercialised to serve economic and social development. ‘If creating knowledge is the first step in starting something from scratch, developing applied technologies for the new knowledge is the second step, followed by transforming the technologies into products and services,’ says Prof Song. ‘Academic and research institutions can take the first two steps on their own, but the next step must involve industry.’ China’s 14th Five-Year Plan and Vision 2035 plan, the second Five-Year Plan (2021-2025) of the Macao Special Administrative Region (SAR), and the Master Plan of the Development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin all point out that Macao should strengthen collaboration with other locales in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) for the development of the industrial, academic, and research sectors. According to Prof Song, as an international public comprehensive university in Macao, UM has launched collaboration projects with enterprises in the four aforementioned industries, which are also highlighted in the second five-year development plan of Macao as ‘a health industry with Chinese medicine R&D and manufacturing as an entry point, a modern finance industry, a high technology industry, as well as an industry of exhibitions and trade/culture and sports’. The university’s collaboration partners are mainly located in Macao, the Hengqin cooperation zone, and other parts of the GBA. ‘To support the moderate economic diversification of Macao, UM has been matching its existing research achievements with the demand of enterprises in various industries. The university has also launched research projects that involve enterprises in the early stages. This strategy has created a deep synergy between the industry, academic, and research sectors,’ says Prof Song. ‘The collaborations between the university and enterprises are not limited to individual researcher-enterprise collaborations, but also
COVER STORY • 封面專題 2022 UMAGAZINE 25 • 澳大新語 10 include large-scale collaborative projects at the university level that are clearly geared towards the needs of Macao’s new industries.’ Three Years of Contributions to the GBA According to Prof Song, Macao’s market is small, with limited industrial land and a shortage of technology professionals, so industry-academia collaboration at UM cannot be confined to the local area. Since the announcement of the Outline Development Plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area in February 2019, UM has taken a number of important initiatives to participate in industry-academia collaboration in the region. The most important was the establishment of UM’s first demonstration base for industry-academia collaboration in the GBA via the Zhuhai UM Science & Technology Research Institute (ZUMRI) in March of the same year. ZUMRI has five R&D centres in the areas of advanced materials, smart city, microelectronics, translational medicine and Chinese medicine. It also includes a humanities and social sciences research centre and an executive training centre. Over the past three years, the institute has collaborated with dozens of enterprises in Macao and mainland China and has received research funding from national, provincial, and municipal institutions, including funds from the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the National Key R&D Programme. Since 2020, ZUMRI has been named a postdoctoral research station, a new R&D institute in Zhuhai, and a new R&D institute in Guangdong. UM has set up branches of its three state key laboratories within the institute to promote the commercialisation of the university’s achievements in Chinese medicine, microelectronics, and the internet of things for smart cities. In addition, UM actively supports students and faculty in setting up technology enterprises in Hengqin, transferring the university’s patents to enterprises through UMTec Limited, and establishing joint laboratories with enterprises. According to Prof Song, the Master Plan of the Development of the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin released in September 2021 proposes to vigorously develop industries focused on integrated circuits, electronic components, new materials, new energy, big 澳大開辦新課程為澳門和橫琴新產業培養緊缺人才 UM offers new programmes to nurture talent for new industries in Macao and Hengqin

UM will expand its three state key labs and build five high-level platforms for industry-academia collaboration, incorporating innovation, service, management, cultivation, and implementation respectively, to promote technological innovation and transfer of research results. According to Prof Song, the five platforms are interlinked and will form a synergy to enhance the depth and breadth of industry-academia collaboration at UM. In terms of the transfer of research results, the university has taken a series of measures, including establishing the Frontier Science Center for Precision Oncology as approved by the Ministry of Education, a demonstration base for industry-academia collaboration in Hengqin, an R&D centre for Chinese medicine, and the Macau Institute for Translational Medicine and Innovation. UM also launched a series of collaborative projects in five joint labs with the Chinese Academy of Sciences, participated in and undertook key R&D projects at the local, provincial, and national levels, and continues to invest in start-up companies established by UM faculty members or research teams. In addition, UM’s Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, which has received approval to serve as a national co-working space, has incubated more than 30 science and innovation enterprises jointly established by students and professors. It is actively encouraging more Macao youth to launch innovation and entrepreneurship activities in the GBA. Nurturing Talent for New Industries in Macao and Hengqin Across the GBA, especially in the western part of the region, UM has distinct advantages over its counterparts in terms of faculty, quality of teaching, and research capacity. In recent years, the university has launched new programmes in areas such as microelectronics, data science, and financial technology. It is preparing to offer a new undergraduate programme in pharmaceutical sciences and technology, as well as postgraduate programmes in various fields, such as global public health, internet of things, robotics and unmanned systems, coastal and environmental engineering, cognitive neurosciences, advanced materials, and fine arts, in order to develop a comprehensive array of talent to respond to the demand of new industries in Macao and Hengqin. With the tremendous support of the central government and the Macao SAR government, the university has rapidly developed in all aspects. According to Prof Song, as the only university on Hengqin Island, UM has the responsibility for nurturing professionals and producing results via industry-academia collaboration. ‘The university is not only a beneficiary of government policies, but also a contributor to social and economic development,’ says Prof Song. ‘Through research, UM aims to leverage the advantages of Macao and the university to respond to the needs of China and the city, respectively. By continuously expanding and deepening our collaboration with stakeholders in mainland China, we can give full play to the strengths of Macao and the mainland to achieve collaborative innovation and development, and to integrate Macao into the overall development of innovation and technology in the country. At a time when Macao’s economic structure is in dire need of transformation, UM will continue to complement the policies of the central government and the SAR government to accelerate technology transfer in order to serve the needs of the country and Macao,’ he adds.

This system aims to build and enhance platforms for the five phases of industry-academia collaboration, namely innovation, service, management, cultivation, and implementation. ‘While each of the five categories of platforms has an individual role to play, the system allows them to interact with each other,’ says Prof Ge. ‘When different platforms are integrated into one, synergies can be created.’ Service platforms constitute the second type of platform in the ‘5-in-1’ system. Most are operated by the Research Services and Knowledge Transfer Office. The office provides research services to staff and students, and handles the management and transfer of intellectual property rights (IPRs) of UM, as well as their applications. According to Prof Ge, the available IPRs, patents, and research results call for management platforms, which are the third type of platform in the ‘5-in-1’ system. UMTec Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of UM, is primarily responsible for managing these IPRs. The university entrusts UMTec Limited to manage, promote and apply all its IPRs, including more than 100 patents filed in mainland China and overseas, and their commercialisation. ‘If a company wants to use a technology from UM, it can turn to UMTec rather than the university,’ says Prof Ge. ‘UMTec plays a central role in our industry-academia areas, namely precision medicine (mainly through the Faculty of Health Sciences), advanced materials (mainly through the Institute of Applied Physics and Materials Engineering), and regional oceanology (mainly through the Centre for Regional Oceans). The third ‘3’ refers to the three interdisciplinary research areas supported by three centres under the Institute of Collaborative Innovation (ICI), namely the Centre for Cognitive and Brain Sciences, the Centre for Data Science, and the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. The three centres all span the fields of humanities and social sciences as well as science and technology, and are all equipped with advanced facilities and equipment, with many of the users being professors of humanities and social sciences. The fourth ‘3’ refers to the three university-level research platforms of UM in the humanities and social sciences, areas where the university has a strong research culture. They include the recently-established Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, the Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management, and the Centre for Macau Studies. All of the elements above combine to form a mechanism for research and innovation at UM, which is also the first and most important type of platform in the ‘5-in-1’ system.

The company takes care of the final phase of transferring our IPRs.’ Cultivation Platform for Innovation and Entrepreneurship Most professors and students lack commercial experience. That is why UM has included cultivation platforms in the ‘5-in-1’ system as the fourth type of platform. The Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIE) under the ICI provides various types of support, training, and services to students and professors who want to start a business. In 2019, which marked the 20th anniversary of the handover of Macao, the CIE received approval from the Ministry of Science and Technology to join China’s national system of co-working spaces. Around 30 business teams, founded by UM students and faculty members, have been incubated in the CIE. When incubation is completed, the teams continue to exist as registered companies to contribute to the industrial diversification of Macao. ‘With shares in many start-up companies incubated at UM, UMTec is playing an important role in the transfer of the university’s IPRs,’ says Prof Ge. Implementation Platform for Industry-Academia Collaboration The fifth and last type of platform under the ‘5-in-1’ system is the implementation platform. Many teams incubated at the CIE have been connected by UMTec to companies for cooperation. Meanwhile, teams with products or technologies that are more mature and closer to market needs can approach potential partners directly. Many products developed by UM research teams are still in their initial stages, but they show great promise for applications. In this context, the university would recommend they seek further development at the Zhuhai UM Science & Technology Research Institute (ZUMRI). As the university’s demonstration base for industry-academia collaboration in Hengqin, the institute has access to rich research resources in mainland China. In essence, ZUMRI is serving as UM’s implementation platform for industry-academia collaboration.As of today, the institute has about 160 ongoing or completed projects. They include over 110 projects funded by national, provincial, and municipal agencies and over 50 collaborative projects with enterprises. ‘The innovation, service, management, cultivation, and implementation platforms together form a fairly complete ecosystem for industry-academia collaboration. Sometimes researchers wonder what the next step will be for their research projects. With this system in place, we can show them exactly what the next step is.’ says Prof Ge. Partnerships with Over 50 Companies UM has transferred its research results in several key areas, including materials, biomedical sciences (including traditional Chinese medicine), the Internet of Things for smart city development, artificial intelligence, big data, and humanities (such as translation systems). UM actively collaborates with over 50 commercial partners, which are based in the mainland and Macao. The university’s local partners include Macao’s electricity company CEM, telecommunications provider CTM, and Nam Kwong (Group) Company Limited. In addition, UM signed a strategic collaboration framework agreement with Boardware Information System Limited in 2021 on the establishment of a joint laboratory. The university is also actively planning a joint laboratory with Akrostar Technology, a Macao-based chip unicorn company. ‘UM has extensive collaborations with public and private enterprises across Macao. One can easily see the university’s role in promoting technological and industrial innovation in this city.’ Right People, Right Time, and Right Place UM has a vital role to play in helping the government promote technological innovation and transfer research results. According to Prof Ge, UM has encountered the right people in the right place at the right time, which will help the university fulfil its responsibility as a comprehensive public university. ‘The timing is right as UM is able to grasp the unprecedented opportunities brought about by the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) for collaborative development. The Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin established in 2021 has also given the university new impetus. We are in the right place because Macao is a core city of the GBA, and our university is located on Hengqin island,’ says Prof Ge. ‘The Macao SAR government attaches great importance to industry-academia collaboration. It has become clear to people from all sectors that economic diversification is essential for Macao’s future development. Industry-academia collaboration

Now is the time that the university should accelerate industry-academia collaboration and take stock of past achievements to advance development. ‘Some of our university’s products in traditional Chinese medicine are about to be launched,’ says Prof Ge. ‘Many companies in the fields such as materials, traditional Chinese medicine, and microelectronics have already integrated technologies from UM into their products.’ In the process of research results transfer, the government and enterprises need to be fully involved, apart from initiatives from universities. Prof Ge says: ‘Companies give us a lot of ideas for research, and their input can help students and professors produce products or technologies that are closer to the needs of the market.’ Taking Advantage of GBA Opportunities to Transfer Research Results The new system for research innovation and results transfer will bring UM researchers and units in all areas to work together. In the long run, the collaborative effort will improve the university’s research and innovation capacity and make industry-academia collaboration more effective. ‘The university will make better use of research resources provided by the central government as well as different provinces and cities. We will also launch more projects in research innovation and industry-academia collaboration with top universities and enterprises at home and abroad,’ says Prof Ge. At the moment, the GBA is transforming itself into an international centre for innovation and technology, which will open up more opportunities for universities and researchers to transfer their research results. Against this backdrop, the new system for research innovation and result transfer at UM demonstrates not only the university’s vision and concrete actions to promote technology transfer, but also its determination to change society for the better through research. 澳大一些中藥研究成品已非常接近市場 UM will soon launch some traditional Chinese medicine-based products
