In the 1980s and 1990s, before Macao’s handover to China, CMS worked as a social think tank with community leaders and professionals from all walks of life to devise strategies for the problems and challenges facing the city during the transitional period leading up to the handover, becoming one of the important academic forces at this important moment of history. Over the years, the centre has formed a multidisciplinary team to study key issues in Macao and carry out major projects to push the boundaries of Macaology. After the handover, CMS continued to respond to the needs of Macao’s economic and social development through research projects and academic activities. The centre has created the Macao Economic Database, published the Journal of Macau Studies, and launched various academic exchange and collaboration activities. ‘As Macao’s society has evolved, the studies conducted by CMS scholars have also changed,’ says Agnes Lam, director of CMS and an associate professor in the Department of Communication. For example, in 2020, 澳門研究中心舉辦系列座談會探討城市總體規劃 CMS holds a seminar to discuss Macao’s urban development master plan 林玉鳳教授 Prof Agnes Lam
