The distinct “Guia Lecture” series is highly positioned to provide a global platform for interdisciplinary, high-quality academic discourse. It leverages Chinese Confucianism to expand Macao’s global culture, fostering cultural exchange among diverse cultures in Macau, China, and beyond.

The lighthouse, the chapel, and the pillars are the three elements that make up the cleverly designed and deeply symbolic Guia Lecture logo.

The Guia Lighthouse, the first modern lighthouse in the Far East and on the Chinese coast, represents Macao’s geographical location and contributes to a global perspective in Macao’s story. The chapel next to the lighthouse combines Chinese and Western cultures and arts, representing the advancement of interdisciplinary studies.

The pillars represent the core of the Guia Lecture in Confucian studies, with Macao serving as the focal point and incorporating various cultures to represent the concept of being connected to Macao while blending Chinese and Western influences. The Guia Lecture initiative promotes cultural exchange among different cultures, reflecting the academic goal of broadening perspectives and breaking barriers.
