The Times Higher Education (THE) Asia Universities Summit took place in Macau last week, with the event supported by the Education and Youth Development Bureau (DSEDJ) and hosted by THE in partnership with the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST), according to a recent DSEDJ statement.
The three-day event included the presentation of the THE Awards Asia 2025 and the announcement of the THE Asia University Rankings 2025, where two local institutions saw a “steady rise” in the rankings, the statement noted.
The statement did not say where the April 22-24 summit took place.
The statement said that over 850 universities were included in the THE Asia University Rankings 2025, an increase of more than 100 institutions from the previous year. This year, the University of Macau’s (UM) ranking rose from 36th to 34th, while the private Macau University of Science and Technology rose up one place to 57th, reflecting the “steady improvement of Macau’s higher education in Asia”.
According to the statement, the summit, themed “Asia’s Rise: A Transformative Journey in Science, Technology, and Innovation,” gathered approximately 650 university leaders, senior managers, and policymakers to discuss trends in higher education and technological innovation.
