Scientific Research for Greater Social Benefits Rector Yonghua Song says that scientific research does not mean self‑indulgence or not being grounded in reality; the purpose of scientific research is to create greater social benefits. The better a university becomes at teaching and research, the better its ability to serve the community, and the more important its role in economic and social development. Building on a solid foundation of 40 years, UM will continue to serve the community in the future by providing full support and making a greater contribution to Macao. 越強，服務社會的能力也越強，在經 濟社會發展中扮演的角色也越重要。 在過往40年建立基礎上，澳大將繼續 以服務社會為己任，為澳門的發展定 位提供強大支持，為本地經濟社會發 展發揮應有的、更大的作用。 澳大致力以研究服務社會。圖為科研大樓。 UM is dedicated to serving society through research.
