UM, CAS, SML-Zhuhai co-organise seminar on ocean development
澳大、中科院與南方海洋實驗室合辦海洋發展研討會

The University of Macau (UM), the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and the Southern Marine Science and Engineering Guangdong Laboratory (Zhuhai) (SML-Zhuhai) today (17 June) co-organised the second conference on marine science and technology innovation and sustainable development strategy. Held in a format that combines online and in-person elements, the event took place in UM’s Research Building and attracted over 100 participants. 

During the event, nearly 20 scholars of oceanography had in-depth discussions on issues such as marine disaster prevention, marine environment and climate in the context of carbon neutrality, the world as a community connected by oceans, and sustainable development. The event is expected to build on each institution’s research strengths, deepen cooperation in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and jointly build a centre for the modern marine industry.

According to UM Rector Yonghua Song, as the only public comprehensive university in Macao, UM has the responsibility to support diversified development in Macao and contribute to the marine development of the Greater Bay Area and China. The university has been actively conducting research in the field of oceanography. In 2019 UM established the Centre for Regional Oceans to promote exchange and collaboration between mainland China and Portuguese-speaking countries in the field of oceanography.

澳門大學今（17）日與中國科學院海洋研究所及珠海的南方海洋科學與工程廣東省實驗室共同舉辦“第二屆海洋科技創新與可持續發展戰略研討會”，藉此發揮彼此研究優勢，深化粵港澳大灣區合作，共同推進現代海洋產業基地建設。

研討會結合線上及線下形式於澳大舉行，參與人數超過100人，近20名海洋專家就海洋防災減災能力、碳中和背景下的海洋環境與氣候和藍色命運共同體與可持續發展等前沿議題展開深入討論。

澳大校長宋永華致辭時表示，澳門獲中央政府確立海域面積爲85平方公里，自此有了明確的海域管理職責。澳大作為澳門唯一一所公立綜合性大學，支持澳門多元發展、為大灣區乃至全國的海洋發展貢獻力量是責無旁貸的使命。因此，澳大一直積極探討海洋領域的研究，2019年更成立區域海洋研究中心，為促進內地與葡語國家在海洋領域的交流合作而努力。科技部中國21世紀議程管理中心主任黃晶表示，是次研討會迎合了國家對海洋發展的迫切需求，集合多方的研究優勢，強化交流合作，共同推進大灣區海洋環境的科技創新與可持續發展。

參與研討會的還有物理海洋學家及中國科學院院士陳大可、中國科學院院士焦念志、中國科學院海洋研究所副所長李超倫、清華大學能源環境經濟研究所助理所長周劍、中山大學科學研究院兼測繪科學與技術學院院長程曉、中山大學教授羅一鳴、中國科學院海洋研究所所務委員于仁成、哈爾濱工程大學教授周學謙、中山大學大氣科學學院教授于衛東、中科院海洋所研究員楊德周，澳大科技學院院長須成忠、區域海洋研究中心代主任周萬歡、土木與環境系副教授陸萬海及助理教授郝天偉、施華斌、蔡忠亞、張平及黎永杰。
