CityU holds RBGN Editors Roundtable, fostering exchanges between Chinese and Brazilian scholars

During the roundtable, the Brazilian scholars together with FOB faculty and students presented academic papers to share findings on a series of topics, including cross-border entrepreneurship, sustainable development, the application of artificial intelligence in public management, stakeholder governance, financial modeling, and wealth management. Through keynote speeches and Q&A discussions, the two sides built academic consensus, laying a solid foundation for further in-depth dialogue in the future. 

To further enhance the depth and the relevance of the discussions, the roundtable hosted two parallel sessions for thematic group discussions. Participants can choose their discussion topics based on their own research interests and academic directions, engaging in more focus and in-depth dialogue with the Brazilian scholars on specific research methodologies, empirical findings, and potential direction for further collaboration. The discussions was dynamic with active participation and questioning. The exchanges offered both theoretical depth and practical insights, demonstrating the vitality and value of academic exchange. 

Dean José Alves noted that, with Macao serving as the bridge between China and PSCs, FOB has been promoting academic exchanges with countries like Brazil. He highlighted that this roundtable not only provided a platform for faculty and students to engage in dialogue with internationally renowned scholars, but also laid a solid foundation for future deeper cooperation such as joint research, doctoral students cultivation and scholar exchanges. 

After the roundtable, Dean José Alves led Brazilian scholars on an academic visit to Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen). They shared the latest research outcomes in business management with faculty and students there and conducted discussions on topics of mutual interest. This inter-university exchange not only extended the reach and impact of the academic activities, but also created more possibilities for further academic collaboration among Chinese mainland, Macao and Brazil. 

The successful organization of this roundtable and its follow-up visit, marked a new step in FOB internationalization, effectively promoting knowledge sharing and research collaboration between China and Brazil in business management, and also injecting new vitality into the academic cooperation between the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao and PSCs.
