To achieve these goals, the university has adopted a ‘4S’ internationalisation strategy, which focuses on strategic, substantial, specific, and sustainable objectives, as well as aims to deepen academic cooperation and provide more exchange opportunities for students. Fortifying Collaboration Across China UM has expanded its collaboration with leading universities in mainland China. The collaborative efforts include joint talent development initiatives and collaborative research and innovation programmes with Peking University, Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, Fudan University, Zhejiang University, and Harbin Institute of Technology, with the aim of integrating into national development. In December 2023, UM joined the Association of University Presidents of China (C9 League+) and established a ‘C9+3+1’ exchange and cooperation framework with nine universities in mainland China and three universities in Hong Kong. This initiative aims to enhance the development and exchange among China’s top-tier universities. UM’s partnership with the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has yielded substantial results. In 2019, UM and the CAS Shenzhen Institute of Advanced Technology began joint supervision of PhD students. UM has also established joint laboratories with five institutes or research centres affiliated with CAS, spanning the fields of brain and cognitive sciences, artificial intelligence and robotics, aerospace information, ocean environment and engineering, as well as cancer and basic medical research. To date, these joint laboratories have initiated 27 research projects. UM has long maintained strong partnerships with universities in Guangdong and Hong Kong. In 2016, a total of 37 higher education institutions in Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao—including UM—established the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao University Alliance, where UM served as the vice-chair. Furthermore, UM is a member of over 20 professional university alliances across the three regions.
