The delegation from Japan, headed by the President of Chiba Institute of Technology, Prof. Kazuhito Komiya, was warmly welcomed by USJ’s Rector, Prof. Peter Stilwell, USJ’s Dean of the Faculty of Creative Industry, Prof. Álvaro Barbosa, and Head of the Department of Architecture and Design, Prof. Thomas Daniell. The signing ceremony was held at USJ’s main campus in NAPE area after representatives from both parties gave a brief presentation of their respective institutions. President Komiya expressed that he was looking forward to receiving USJ’s students for exchange programmes in Japan, and to sending Japanese students to Macau to enhance both academic and cultural exchange.

The agreement between USJ and Chiba Institute of Technology allows for exploration of diverse models of cooperation, and encourages students and staff to undertake study visits and cultural exchange. This is in line with the current Higher Education strategy of Macau to develop the international standing of Macau’s higher education institutions.
