Introduction
The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City (University of Macau) (hereinafter referred to as “The Lab”), is the first national State Key Laboratory in China dedicated to the field of Internet of Things (IoT) for smart cities. Through technological innovation and a focus on fundamental scientific problems, The Lab revolves around five core research directions: Intelligent Sensing and Network Communication, Urban Big Data and Intelligent Technology, Smart Energy, Intelligent Transportation, and Urban Safety and Disaster Prevention. Its primary objective is to develop cutting-edge IoT technologies essential for building smart cities, while proposing fundamental and common theories, algorithms, and systems, and creating demonstration applications for smart cities. By deeply integrating IoT modules, The Lab strives to realize diverse intelligent applications, promote the intelligence and interconnectivity of Macao society, and make unique contributions to the development of the Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao Greater Bay Area.
Under the development policy “openness, union, mobility, and competition”, The Lab encourages interdisciplinary and high-quality academic research. It actively facilitates cooperation and exchanges with domestic and international research institutions, aiming to explore new research areas, establish novel technological platforms, and drive technological advancements in related fields. These efforts are aimed at achieving a series of high-quality independent innovations, thereby supporting the knowledge transfer and economic development of Macao.
In pursuit of this objective, The Lab has recently released its Guidelines for Open Research Project Application (This Guideline) and is currently inviting applications in various research domains. The Lab strongly encourages researchers, both from domestic and international backgrounds, with a keen interest in the IoT field for smart cities to proactively submit their applications. We eagerly anticipate partnering with exceptional research teams to collectively advance the progress of this field.
