Prof. Zhou Wanlei, vice rector of City University of Macau (CityU) was recently invited to Hangzhou to attend the Second China Computer Federation (CCF) Presidents’ Forum and offered insights on how to attract computer talents at the thematic forum. This forum was held at Zhejiang University, with the theme of “Inspiring Talents, Promoting Industry and Research”. More than 40 university presidents jointly explored new pathways for computer science to empower the “Double First-Class” initiative, providing strong support for the construction of a leading country in education and the transformation of higher education paradigms.
Vice Rector Zhou Wanlei delivered a speech during the “Thematic Forum Six: International Cooperation and Exchanges under the New Landscape”. He pointed out Macao’s unique advantages in attracting top talents in the field of computer science globally, serving as China’s window to the world, especially as a hub for exchanges between China and Portuguese-speaking countries and an important node in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. He mentioned Macao’s institutional advantages under the “One Country, Two Systems” policy, which enabled more high-end symposiums to be held in the city, in turn, attracting top global talents to conduct in-depth exchanges and cooperation with domestic and foreign counterparts, thereby forming a hub of computer talents.
Other guests participating in the discussion included Jia Tao, vice president of Chongqing Normal University; Li Jin, vice president of Guangzhou University; Liu Qingshan, vice president of Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications; Yang Tianruo, vice president of Zhengzhou University; and Zhang Qinyu, vice president of Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen).
