Together with Ms. Xu were Deputy Director-General Pu Hailong, Director Hong Bo, and Deputy Directors Guo Jianbin and Wang Lujiao. Ms. Xu’s delegation was warmly welcomed by Rector Fr. Stilwell, Vice-Rector Maria Espadinha, Pro-Rector Vincent Yang, Administrator Susana Mieiro, Registrar Ricardo Rato, Director of Student Affairs Teresa Loong and Head of Public Relations Office Jenny Lao-Phillips. Rector Stilwell thanked the Liaison Office’s support to USJ and accompanied the guests to visit USJ’s teaching facilities at the Seminary. The Procurator of the Seminary, Fr. Jojo Peter Ancheril, introduced the Seminary, a heritage of hundreds of years of history, and its collection of cultural relics. As the first Western style institution of higher education in the Far East, St. Paul’s College was founded in the St. Paul’s Cathedral that was originally created in 1580. This was a milestone marking the beginning of the cultural and educational exchanges between China and the West. The Cathedral was destroyed by fire in 1595 and 1601. The Jesuits missionaries built the Saint Joseph’s Seminary after. Today, the Seminary stands as a rare Western-style ancient monument that has survived from all those years of difficulties in Macau.  Many valuable artifacts from the early history of the Catholics entering in China are kept here. According to Rector Stilwell, after Matteo Ricci came to Macau in 1582, he studied Chinese language and culture in the Saint Joseph Seminary before heading north into the mainland. Ricci eventually arrived in Beijing 18 years later, where he was well received and honored by the Ming Dynasty Emperor Wanli for his outstanding contribution to the exchanges of cultures and technologies between China and the West. The delegation of Xu Ting subsequently proceeded to visit the site of USJ’s new campus at Ilha Verde. The design of the new campus is a product of an internationally renowned architectural design firm which reflects the concept of green campus. The construction project is undertaken by Hsin Chong Group, a company that managed the projects to build Venetian Macao, Sands Macau Casino and the City of Sands. According to Rector Stilwell, the construction project is progressing well and the hope is to complete it within this year. Then, USJ, as a successor of 400 years of history and a university with international features, will have a brand-new look to contribute to the development of higher education and the nurturing of high quality talents for Macau."

Contrarily to the majority of the territories around the world, Macau does not have a detailed geological Map. The most important work was conducted by Serviços Geológicos de Portugal (SGP) in 1992 but the information is not easily accessible, it is outdated and only written in Portuguese. One of the objectives of this new project is to produce and publish an updated digital version of the geologic map of Macao in the two official languages of the territory (Chinese and Portuguese) and in English. A web interface will make all the information generated by this study available to professionals from applied areas such as engineering, land management and environment and also to the general public.   The project aims also to contribute towards a better understanding of the geology of Macao and its geodynamic evolution. The rocks of Macao will be studied using petrological and geochemical techniques, to identify the sources and processes of magma genesis, and advanced geochronological methods will be applied to estimate the age of the different rocks forming the territory. These data will contribute to the understanding of the geo-chronological evolution of Macao in the broader context of South China tectono-magmatic evolution.   Throughout the project, science education actions will be undertaken in collaboration with schools and museums to explain, in simple terms, the geological origin and characteristics of Macao to the general public, particularly to the young population.   The project is being coordinated by Professor Ágata Alveirinho Dias from the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) of the USJ, in collaboration with researchers from the Faculty of Science of the University of Lisbon (FCUL) and the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences (GIGCAS).   More information can be found here.

  MagIC – é um novo projeto de investigação para estudar a petrologia e geoquímica das rochas ígneas de Macau.   O Instituto de Ciência e Ambiente (ISE) da Universidade de São José (USJ) iniciou, no início deste ano, um novo projeto de investigação financiado pelo Fundo para o Desenvolvimento das Ciências e Tecnologia de Macau (FDCT). Contrariamente ao que acontece na maioria dos territórios de todo o mundo, Macau não tem uma Carta Geológica pormenorizada e acessível. O trabalho de cartografia geológica mais relevante realizado no território foi publicado pelos Serviços Geológicos de Portugal (SGP) em 1992 mas, o mesmo, para além de se encontrar desatualizado e pouco detalhado, está disponível exclusivamente em Português. Um dos objetivo principais deste projeto é o de atualizar a carta geológica de Macau e publicá-la em versão digital, facultando toda a informação nas duas línguas oficiais da RAEM (Chinês e Português) e em Inglês. Esta interface web permitirá que toda a informação seja divulgada quer a profissionais de áreas mais aplicadas, como engenharia, ordenamento do território e ambiente, quer à comunidade em geral.   O projeto pretende ainda contribuir para um conhecimento mais aprofundado da geologia do território e da sua evolução geodinâmica. As rochas magmáticas de Macau serão alvo de uma caracterização petrológica e estrutural, usando técnicas petrológicas e de geoquímica elementar e isotópica, a fim de obter uma compreensão aprofundada da origem e evolução dos magmas que deram origem às rochas do território. Posteriormente, as amostras serão datadas (através de técnicas geocronológicas) com o intuito de conhecer a cronologia dos vários eventos magmáticos que compõem esta zona geográfica,  fornecendo uma base para comparações regionais que, em última análise, permitirão ter uma compreensão mais precisa da evolução tectónico-magmática do Sul da China.   Ao longo de todo o projecto pretende-se, igualmente, desenvolver acções de divulgação científica junto de instituições de educação de Macau e do público em geral com o propósito de explicar de forma simplificada, a origem e evolução geológica de Macau.   O projecto é coordenado pela Professora Dr. Ágata Alveirinho Dias, do Instituto de Ciência e Ambiente (ISE) da USJ, em colaboração com investigadores da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL) e do Instituto de Geoquímica de Guangzhou, da Academia de Ciências Chinesa (GIGCAS).   Mais informações podem ser encontradas here."

The University of Saint Joseph held its annual Open Day at the Saint Joseph Seminary Campus (next to the Sir Robert Ho Tung Library) last Saturday, hosting nearly 5 hundred prospective students who had the opportunity to taste life at the university.

 The Open Day began with a warm and cozy ceremony of ribbon cutting attended by distinguish guests including the Bishop of Macau, Dom Jose Lai, Director of the Department of Culture and Education for Liaison Office in Macau Mr. Hong Bo, Deputy Director of Education and Youth Affairs Bureau Ms Kuok Sio Lai, Functional Head (Group of Higher Education Institutions Coordination) of Tertiary Education Services Office Ms Io Iok Fong, principles and representatives from different schools and associations. During the ceremony, the University thanked Macau Foundation for sponsoring the Open Day, and Coca-Cola Co. Ltd. for sponsoring drinks for the event.

Visitors were welcomed by students of the university and invited to visit different booths and information rooms set up across the heritage campus. A bamboo pavilion was featured during the day, which USJ’s architecture students had spent the whole weekend building. The Open Day’s programme included language corners, a mock admissions interview corner, radio practice, snapshot campaign and sports competitions. Students from Colégio Diocesano de Sao José 5th and 6th School, Yuet Wah College, Anglican Chou Kou High School and Escola Tung Sin Tong challenged USJ students to a Friendly Basketball Match.

 The international students at the University arranged different cultural experiences for the guests, including beautiful Portuguese songs performed by singer Tomas. Inside the classrooms, students and professors stood by to introduce key features of each programme to the visitors. The Faculties of Religious Studies, Humanities, Administration and Leadership, Psychology and Education, Creative Industries, the Institute of Science and Environment, and the Pre-University programme showcased the work of their students and faculty.

Prospective students learned also that USJ has updated its fees, reducing the costs for local students. The University of Saint Joseph features English as the teaching medium and has students and faculty from nearly 60 nationalities. Construction of its new campus at Ilha Verde is progressing smoothly and is expected to be in use during the 2015/2016 academic year.

The USJ project is innovative, employs the state-of-art technology, equipment, and materials; gathers USJ/Faculty of Creative Industries students and professors; and joins members of different faculty departments: Design, Communication & Media and Architecture. Furthermore, it aims to combine design and technology as an advanced form of active communication.

The project key concept is based on the Lean Forward “Goatway” (QR Goat). Indeed, the “goatway” represents a metaphorical conception combines synchronically design & technology. Initially it draws the observer’s attention with the purpose of establishing a visual relationship. Afterwards, the appealing material dimension of the design is individually retrieved as an instrument of involvement to explore the endless virtual and global discovery. Therefore, the goat design transforms relationship through technology, into an electronic wider window that instantly connects the observer to an Asian world, in which only reveries rule. All in all, the QR goat is well established as a leading path to a QR code “goatway”, and likewise a groundbreaking means of transportation that suggests an exclusive lean forward moment.

Currently, the preparation phase is taking place in the Venetian facilities and it is due to finish next February 5, 2015.

 穿越“ Goatway ”

“ goatway ”的背後融合設計和科技的概念, 它首先吸引觀察者的注意, 目的是建立視覺關係。然後,這個極具吸引力的設計, 會逐一帶領觀察者探索一個無止境的國際虛擬世界。因此,這個山羊設計透過科技, 將與觀察者的視覺關係, 轉化為一個更開闊的數碼世界,即時帶領觀察者進入一個充滿遐想的亞洲國度。總而言之，這個山羊QR是一個設計完善的QR代碼閘口”goatway”,同時是一個突破性的交通工具, 乘載大家穿越一個獨特的時空。
