During the camp, students visited several state key laboratories and research centres, gaining insights into cutting-edge research areas and frontier technologies. Seminars and exchange sessions were also organised, where students engaged in discussions on trending topics in science and technology with faculty members. They also received valuable advice on academic and career development.
In addition, UM campus tours and Macao cultural experience tours were arranged for the students, allowing them to immerse themselves in UM’s international learning environment and explore the city.
Dai Ningyi, assistant dean of FST and coordinator of the summer camp, said the event marked an important step in FST’s efforts to promote international collaboration and exchanges, as well as to cultivate future technology talent.
