Macao Polytechnic University strives to contribute to the sustainable societal development of healthcare, education, cultural preservation and environment through relevant scholarship and lifelong education.

 

Sustainability Research

The University leverages its academic research capabilities to foster sustainability, focusing specifically on tangible historic preservation and environmental protection through inventions of green technologies. An award-winning environment monitoring system Canarin collects environmental big data for air quality assessment in real-time thus enabling timely actions to protect historic documents, installations, buildings, and sites. This system is being used in the centuries-old Joanina Library and the Science Museum of the University of Coimbra, and the historic city of Bologna. Another collaborative project about optimisation of Electric Vehicles Battery benefits its performance and eco-efficiency by leveraging machine learning technologies, leading to reduction of carbon emissions more effectively.

The University prioritizes health and wellbeing to sustain cities. Its research team on AI in medical imaging collaborates with international experts to develop AI-driven solutions for global health. Their focus areas include breast cancer, brain tumor segmentation, fetal lung assessment, and clinical diagnostics. These systems augment human capabilities, improving diagnostic and treatment efficiency. In addition, the Centre for AI-Driven Drug Discovery was established to utilize cutting-edge AI and biomedicine technologies. Specializing in in-silico drug screening, de novo drug design, and compound optimization, the Centre accelerates R&D and clinical trials, advancing the development of new disease treatments.

The University works closely with various NGOs to develop and maintain an oral history collection about Macao’s preservation of its intangible cultural heritage. A wealth of historic documents, files, images and data about the Macao population has been collected, providing an informative basis for specialised research on intangible cultural heritage via oral history. A variety of books, documentaries, feature articles and multimedia materials are consequently published so that Macao as a world cultural heritage site, its history and its people be known and remembered. This collection has been considered indispensable, by multiple local entities, in their process of applications for inclusion in Macao and national intangible cultural heritage lists.

The University gives full play to its strengths in artificial intelligence, machine translation and Portuguese language education, contributing to overcoming language barriers in the era of globalisation. Its Chinese-Portuguese Neural Network Machine Translation Platform, together with its huge Chinese-Portuguese corpus, achieves the highest accuracy worldwide. The Chinese-Portuguese-English Voice Recognition Simultaneous Interpretation System is the latest product developed out of the University’s interdisciplinary research in artificial intelligence and Chinese-Portuguese translation.

 

Fostering Life-long Learning

The University develops user-friendly learning tools to foster life-long learning. The globally-downloadable mobile app Diz lá! motivates users to learn the Portuguese language with its interactive features. The application is popular in over 40 countries and regions, especially in China and Portuguese-speaking countries. With the support of the largest-circulation local newspaper, the University launched the Chinese-Portuguese News Learning App to deliver bilingual news information, functioning as a learning source for the Chinese and Portuguese language learners. Such scientific products encourage people to learn freely and effectively around the world.

The International Portuguese Training Centre for Conference Interpreting at the University is one of the fruitful outcomes grown out of the long-term collaboration between the University and the Directorate General for Interpretation of the European Commission (DG-SCIC). This centre further strengthens Macao's role as a service platform for business cooperation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, improving the effectiveness of training for local and overseas Portuguese-speaking talents alike; it also strengthens the cooperation between Macao and other regions in the cultivation of Portuguese-speaking talents, and raises the quality of the related human resources.

The University strives to extend the impact of quality education to the community. A number of degree programmes are offered at the University to cultivate qualified teachers capable of practising fundamental and secondary education in specialised fields of study such as computing, visual arts, music, Chinese and Portuguese languages, and physical education. The University integrates research with education, encouraging students to engage in green technology R&D and get hands-on experiences for cultivating their mindsets in tackling environmental issues. The University’s general education framework includes a 'Sustainable Development' module in all undergraduate programmes. This module introduces students to the 17 sustainable development goals, fostering awareness and understanding of sustainability issues and equipping them with skillsets for contributing to sustainable development.

The University’s community services are dedicated to helping the community grow professionally. Its outreach activities welcome over 10,000 participants every year in areas such as language training and testing services, vocational training, seminars and conferences in gaming and tourism, public policy, cultural heritage and arts.
