At the ceremony, an agreement for cooperation was signed by Xu Ao'ao, president of Macao Association for Promotion of Science and Technology, and Yu Jiadong, director of the department of professionals and technical personnel management, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. 

The two parties will work together to make sure the first group of outstanding mainland talents with doctoral degrees will be able to begin postdoctoral research work in Macao in 2019.
