A research team of teachers and students from Pui Va Middle School in Macao won the Best Paper Award and the Best Presentation Award at the Third China-Europe Scientists Forum, held recently in Frankfurt, Germany. The team received both honours in the forum’s parallel session on artificial intelligence for its paper, “Mobile Robot Control Based on Minimal Parameter Estimation,” and its on-site presentation. The awards highlight the school’s research capabilities and international competitiveness in artificial intelligence and embodied intelligence.

Organised by the China-Europe Scientists Forum Organising Committee, the event took place at the SAALBAU Griesheim Convention Centre under the theme “China-Europe Insight, Embodied Future.” It brought together more than 200 leading scientists, members of scientific academies, political representatives and industry leaders from China, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other countries. Discussions focused on artificial intelligence, clinical medicine, carbon neutrality and new energy, new materials, and embodied intelligence. The forum aimed to strengthen academic exchange and cooperation between China and Europe, deepen people-to-people friendship and advance science and technology worldwide.

Speaking during the forum, Cai Rui, Counsellor for Science and Technology at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Germany, welcomed the participation of young people from the Chinese mainland and, in particular, students from Macao in the forum and international conference. He said such experiences were important in broadening students’ international outlook and preparing them to contribute to China and to the development of Macao and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

Cai encouraged the students to consider how China’s strengths in rapidly developing fields such as artificial intelligence could complement Germany’s strengths in the fundamental sciences. He said this was one of the purposes of the forum and international conference, and expressed the hope that the students would become bridges for scientific and technological cooperation between China and Germany, and between China and Europe.

The forum provided the school’s teachers and students with a valuable platform for international academic exchange, enabling them to present their research in emerging fields and broaden their global perspectives. Pui Va Middle School will continue to encourage participation in high-level international academic activities, supporting the development of Macao, contributing to the Greater Bay Area and serving the country.
