now acts as the bridge for academic
collaboration and cultural exchange
amongst PolyU and organizations in

Macau. The CMAO is a designated
executive arm of PolyU in forging
close collaboration between PolyU
and the three regions. Its scope of
service covers outpost management
and programme administration,
