MPU signs cooperation agreement with Lisbon University

During a visit to Portugal, the Macau Polytechnic University (MPU) Vice Rector Lei Ngan Lin signed a cooperation agreement with Rector Luís Ferreira of the University of Lisbon, the local university announced in a statement.

Having a positive relationship for nearly 20 years, the two universities have come to consensus on a number of topics, such as strengthening teacher-student exchanges, carrying out scientific research projects, jointly organizing academic seminars and lectures, as well as exchanging academic publications in the fields of language, science and technology, and general health.

Lei said that the MPU has always been committed to deepening cooperation with higher education and scientific research institutions in Portugal and other Portuguese-speaking countries, aiming to promote collaborative innovation and talent cultivation in higher education, and to live out the role of Macau as a bridge in Sino-Portuguese higher education cooperation and exchanges.

Moreover, Ferreira noted that the University of Lisbon attaches great importance to cooperation with higher education institutions in Macau and China, and has high expectations in the opportunities underlying the Greater Bay Area and Hengqin. He added that, in future, cooperation between the MPU and the University of Lisbon will develop in many different directions.
