UM held the Project Opening Presentation of “Building a third-party platform: a practical protocol for Macau-Hengqin data transfer”, a collaborative research project under Multi-Year Research Grant – Collaborative Research Grant (MYRG-CRG) on 22 August 2022 at Ho Yin Conference Hall. The research team led by Prof. Tianji Cai, introduced the research proposal in detail. UM Rector Song Yonghua, Vice Rector (Research) Ge Wei, Vice Rector (Academic) Hui King Man, Vice Rector (Student Affairs) Mok Kai Meng and more than 20 scholars and students attended the presentation and actively participated in the interaction session.

Officially released in September 2021, Guangdong-Macau In-Depth Cooperation Zone (GMCZ) offers opportunities to diversify Macau’s economy and provides new space for living, while differences between the legal systems of Macau and mainland China, such as data transfer and privacy protection, may potentially hinder the effort of promoting cross-border personnel exchange and business innovation. This project aims to provide practical solutions for cross-border data transfer in GMCZ. Specifically, the project will firstly clarify the differences between the two legal systems on data transfer and privacy protection, and then analyze the needs of data transfer and the types of data involved for various agencies, such as governmental branches, NGOs, business sectors, and individual. We also will evaluate the possibility of building a third-party platform (e.g., systems for data classification and security assessment) to facilitate Macau-Hengqin data transfer.

In line with the University’s “3+3+3+3” strategic research layout and to promote the integration of interdisciplinary research fields, the University has initiated the Multi-Year Research Grant – Collaborative Research Grant (MYRG-CRG) which aims to provide financial support to academic staff to conduct collaborative and interdisciplinary research.

多年度研究資助-協同合作研究資助項目 「跨境數據流動的制度建設與第三方平台設計」之開題報告會於2022年8月22日在何賢會議廳舉行。項目負責人蔡天驥教授及其研究團隊詳細介紹了項目研究計劃。澳大校長宋永華、副校長(研究)葛偉、副校長(學術)許敬文、副校長(學生事務)莫啟明聽取了項目報告,現場亦有20餘名師生到場聆聽並積極參與互動交流,氣氛熱烈。

橫琴粵澳深度合作區於2021年9月正式成立,為澳門的經濟多元化提供了機遇,同時也爲澳門居民提供了新的居住空間。然而,澳門與內地法律體系的差異,例如數據傳輸和隱私保護,可能會潛在地阻礙跨境人員流動和商業創新的推動。該項目旨在爲數據在橫琴粵澳深度合作區的傳輸提供可行的解決方案。具體而言,本項目將闡述兩地法律體系在數據傳輸和隱私保護方面的差異,分析各機構(如政府部門、非盈利組織、商業機構和個人)的數據傳輸需求及數據類型,並評估建立第三方平台(如數據分類與安全評估的系統)的可能性,以促進澳門-橫琴數據的流通。

為配合澳門大學“3+3+3+3”的戰略研究布局,促進跨學科研究領域交叉融合,大學推出多年度研究資助-協同合作研究資助(MYRG-CRG),旨在為教研人員進行協同合作和跨學科研究提供資助。
