In order to facilitate the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and big health industry in Macao, as well as strengthen the cooperation and exchange between scientists from the mainland and Macao, the “2023 NSFC-FDCT Frontier Disciplines Forum” was jointly organized in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and the Science and Technology Development Fund of Macao (FDCT) from 5 to 8 December. The forum was undertaken by Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine.
The forum focused on the inheritance and development of TCM with the theme of “High-Quality Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the New Era”. More than 10 professors, including Ip Kuai Lam, Member of the Administrative Committee of the FDCT, led a delegation from the University of Macau and Macau University of Science and Technology to attend the event. Meanwhile, Zhang Yongtao, Vice President of the Bureau of International Cooperation of the NSFC cum Director of Office for the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan Affairs, led a number of experts and scholars from Harbin Medical University, Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, the Institute of Medicinal Plant Development affiliated with the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, China Military Institute of Chinese Medicine of the People’s Liberation Army, Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, to join the forum.
During his speech, Director Zhang Yongtao expressed that the NSFC attaches great importance to the scientific and technological cooperation with Macao. Cooperation between the NSFC and the FDCT began in 2005. In 2016, a memorandum of understanding was formally signed to establish a joint funding mechanism. The collaboration between the two regions has achieved fruitful results, promoting interaction and integration of science and technology between the mainland and Macao. In particular, the joint funding has yielded positive results. He also mentioned that he had just returned from visiting Macao with President Dou Xiankang of the NSFC. Aiming to further enhance scientific and technological cooperation between the mainland, Hong Kong and Macao, the NSFC will continue to expand its openness and start applications of the NSFC Research Fund for Outstanding Young Scientists for Hong Kong and Macao. Finally, he hoped that the participating experts would exchange research progress, share achievements through this forum, and provide suggestions for the high-quality development of TCM.
Member Ip Kuai Lam pointed out in his speech that the NSFC and the FDCT had worked closely together for many years and had achieved remarkable results in joint funding, academic exchanges and personnel visits, providing strong impetus to the development of Macao’s big health industry. Traditional Chinese Medicine & big health is one of the four emerging industries prioritized by the Macao government. Hence, the FDCT will continue to support and promote the development of TCM in accordance with the policies of the SAR government. This forum provides a platform for experts from Macao and the mainland to share achievements and exchange ideas. It is hoped that this event will further boost scientific research collaboration in TCM between the two regions and contribute to the high-quality development of TCM.
Academician Yang Baofeng of Harbin Medical University delivered a keynote speech on “Promoting the High-Quality Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine through Cross-Disciplinary Integration”. Subsequently, 27 experts, including the Distinguished Professor Chen Xin of the University of Macau and Professor Wang Xijun of Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine, gave conference presentations. The expert presentations were rich in content and covered new theories, strategies and methods related to the innovative development of TCM. The participating experts joined the in-depth discussions on the high-quality development of TCM and expressed their respective opinions. The experts at the forum believed that taking the clinical effectiveness and safety of TCM as the guiding principles, aiming for the modernization, internationalization and industrialization of TCM, as well as exploring the multidisciplinary collaborative innovation, are the core content of the high-quality development of TCM.
