On April 8, 2016, Prof. Ney José Lazzari, Rector of Centro Universitário Univates and Prof. Viviane Bischoff, Manager of International Affairs Office visited Macau University of Science and Technology. They were warmly received by President Liu Liang, Vice President Pang Chuan, Associate Vice President Sun Jian Rong and Ms. Lei Pou Cheng, Assistant Administrative Officer of University International College.
For the purpose of promoting the collaboration between the two universities, the presidents signed a memorandum on cooperation in different ways such as students and teachers exchange programs, academic conferences, and training programs. It is hoped that there will be more educational and academic communication between the two universities from which both parties will benefit.
