The United Nations University Institute in Macau (UNU Macau) is pleased to announce the arrival of the delegation from Northwestern Polytechnical University, led by Prof. ZENG Xiangyang, Vice Dean of the School of Marine Science and Technology. They have joined us for the Digital Technology and Sustainable Development Talent Programme Summer Camp.
The Summer Camp, which began on the morning of July 22, also welcomed a team from the School of Software Engineering at Tongji University in the afternoon. This year's camp, themed "Agent-Based Modelling for Better Health Policies," is designed to enhance the strategic vision and leadership skills of young scholars in digital technology and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Over the course of two weeks — comprising one week of online training and one week of in-person sessions in Macau SAR, China — participants will engage in applied research in computer science with a focus on SDGs and digital technologies. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to work closely with United Nations agencies, gain professional skills from international organizations, and broaden their global perspective, preparing them for impactful roles in international organizations.
