Conference Venue

Macau, China

​

Macau is a 33 km² blend of Portuguese heritage and Chinese vitality. In 2005 its historic centre became a UNESCO World Heritage site, while today it adds world-class hotels, Michelin-starred street food and 24-hour casinos to the mix. Macau offers scholars a living laboratory where East-West knowledge flows have intersected for over four centuries. Home to the University of Macau’s state-key laboratories in digital humanities and gaming research, the city houses the Macau Scientific and Cultural Centre (CCCM) and the Treasure of Sacred Art—archives rich for Luso-Asian, maritime and missionary studies.
