A Delegation of Fu Jen Catholic University (FJCU) visited USJ Macao on 27 February, to discuss collaborative initiatives with a focus on fostering academic exchange and student mobility.
A Delegation from Fu Jen Catholic University (FJCU) led by its President, Professor Francis Yi-Chen Lan, visited the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) Macao on 27 February, where they were cordially welcomed by Acting Rector Dr. Alejandro Salcedo. This meeting serves as a pivotal enhancement of the partnership established in 2018, with a focus on fostering academic exchange and student mobility.
The discussions encompassed various strategic avenues for collaboration, including the exploration of potential joint and dual degree programmes in Catholic Studies and Religious Studies, as well as the proposition of staff exchange initiatives. Both institutions expressed a strong enthusiasm to develop joint academic programmes aimed at attracting a more extensive student body. Furthermore, collaborative projects within the realm of health science and technology, particularly those focused on smart-aging, in addition to initiatives to promote service-learning programmes and enhance student exchanges were also highlighted during the meeting.
This renewed proposal signifies both institutions’ dedication to deepening the relationship and creating mutually beneficial opportunities. FJCU and USJ look forward to the implementation of these initiatives in the near future.
