
In collaboration with Chipidea Microelectronics -CI (Tagus-Park) Portugal, UM
has technically supported the creation of the First Microelectronics Design
Center in Macao
The company is managed locally by an Assistant Professor of UM (that has
got a joint Ph.D. degree awarded by UM and the Technical University of
Lisbon-Portugal), that is now in a regime of no-paid leave
It is already staffed with 20 Electrical and Electronics Engineers graduated in
UM that have passed an intensive period of training in CI in Portugal
after graduation (Good Ties between University and Company)
