This plan provides comprehensive support for the three state key laboratories (State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI, and State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City), three emerging research fields (precision medicine, advanced materials, and regional oceanology), three interdisciplinary research fields (artificial intelligence and robotics, data science, cognitive and brain sciences), and three research platforms for the humanities and social sciences (Institute of Advanced Studies in Humanities and Social Sciences, Centre for Macau Studies, and Asia-Pacific Academy of Economics and Management). As of March 2024, UM was among the top 1 per cent in the Essential Science Indicators (ESI) database in 12 subjects, which indicates a remarkable advancement as the university was represented in only five subjects in 2018. Expanding National and Regional Research Platforms Since 2010, UM has been putting effort into developing its national and regional research platforms. One notable example is the State Key Laboratory of Quality Research in Chinese Medicine, which UM obtained approval to establish in 2010. In 2020, the laboratory partnered with a leading company specialising in Chinese medicine and listed on the Fortune Global 500 to establish the Macao Centre for Research and Development in Chinese Medicine. In 2021, the laboratory was awarded the Medal of Merit–Professions by the Macao SAR Government in recognition of its research achievements. Building on the laboratory’s pioneering work, the Macao Centre for Testing of Chinese Medicine at UM began trial operations in March 2024. UM also obtained approval to establish the State Key Laboratory of Analog and Mixed-Signal VLSI in 2010. In 2018, UM set up the Institute of Microelectronics to enhance its efforts in talent cultivation, research, and practical applications in microelectronics and related interdisciplinary fields. At the 70th International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC) in 2023, scholars from the laboratory presented 15 papers, which demonstrated the university’s leading global position in the field. Additionally, the laboratory has set up joint laboratories with enterprises in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and across the country. In 2018, UM established the State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City, which has since garnered a number of prestigious awards such as the State Scientific and Technological Progress Award. The laboratory is at the forefront of the national ‘dual carbon’ strategy and the development of a salubrious and resilient smart city. Scholars working in the laboratory have conducted fundamental and applied research through interdisciplinary collaboration. Its key projects include Macao’s first platform for autonomous driving vehicles featuring collaborative intelligence, the development of various sensor technologies for intelligent 澳大致力發展國家及區域研究平台 UM is committed to developing national and regional research platforms
