Our participants have developed a lot throughout the competition and training. Both the male and female teams were praised by the other teams for their vast development. The team did their best in the competition, but have lost against MUST with a score of 52:62. Nevertheless, they have learned and progressed a lot, and have won the 4th place. We would like to acknowledge the support and guidance from their coach Andrew Wong, the dancing club as cheering team, as well as the countless support from the USJ colleagues and students.

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."

Professor Álvaro Barbosa Dean of USJ Faculty of Creative Industries and 4^th Year communication and media Student Suraphon Kanyukt (Justin) represented the University of Saint Joseph last February 5, 2015 at the Venetian Macau Seasons of Prosperity Opening Ceremony 2015. The USJ/FCI QR Goat Project will be on display at The Venetian Macao until March 1^st, 2015 on the bridge way outside the facilities. After this period, the QR Goat will be transferred to Nam Van Lake area. Indeed, all the process represented an outstanding academic experience due to the fact that both professors and students were highly involved in the creative outcome, resolving technical and design challenges. However, the process did not stop here. In fact, the QR Goat project, will move forward with another academic data research that will be announced in due time.The creative process, the planning development, and the project execution involved a team of 12 individuals, 30 working days, a 3D printing, high precision laser cutting, vinyl cutter, and stenciling techniques, graffiti painting. The USJ/FCI QR Goat Project Team has been awarded with a recognition gift (figure 3), and therefore takes this opportunity to convey a special gratitude to all our supporters, namely Professor Álvaro Barbosa Dean of USJ Faculty of Creative Industries, Professor José Manuel Simões coordinator of bachelor in communication and media, Professor Thomas Daniell coordinator of bachelor in architecture and bachelor in design, visiting lecturer Cristina Dias, Elisa Vilaça (Casa de Portugal em Macau), Kitty Chan, Cherry Cheong, Anno Caprum curators, The Venetian Macao, and Rui de Abreu.orking days, a 3D printing, high precision laser cutting, vinyl cutter, and stenciling techniques, graffiti painting.
