The University of Macau (UM) on Friday 12 May will hold a talk titled ‘Technologists’ Role in Addressing Climate Sustainability’. Saifur Rahman, president and CEO of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for 2023 and director of the Advanced Research Institute at Virginia Tech in the United States, will be the guest speaker.
