Gyeongsang National University is accelerating the establishment of a super-regional cooperation system for the development of future strategic industries through successive agreements with Pukyong National University and Sunchon National University. The initiative aligns with the government's policy to cultivate local talent linked to key regional industries through enhanced education and research collaboration.
The Ministry of Education's 'Growth Engine Linked Local Talent Development Plan' aims to create a virtuous cycle that fosters specialized talent needed for strategic industries through collaboration among local universities, municipalities, businesses, and research institutions, leading to local settlement and employment.
On July 22, Gyeongsang National University signed a memorandum of understanding with Pukyong National University to collaborate in the fields of aerospace, defense, and artificial intelligence (AI). Under this agreement, the two universities plan to expand industry-academia-research linked educational programs, operate joint curricula, conduct collaborative research with businesses, and support the AI transformation (AX) of local industries through integrated education and research.
Earlier, on July 20, Gyeongsang National University also established a cooperation framework with Sunchon National University. The two institutions aim to promote joint research in aerospace and advanced materials, focusing on the development of the South Coast Aerospace Industry Belt, and collaborate on regionally tailored talent development linked to the Glocal University project, as well as jointly plan national and international research and development (R&D) projects.
Through these agreements, Gyeongsang National University will enhance cooperation in aerospace, defense, and AI with Pukyong National University in the southeastern region, while strengthening collaboration in aerospace and advanced materials with Sunchon National University in the southern coastal region, thereby establishing a super-regional cooperation network centered on strategic industries.
Gyeongsang National University President Kwon Jin-hwa stated, "This agreement will further solidify the cooperation foundation connecting the southeastern region and the southern coastal region. We will cultivate talent to lead future key industries such as aerospace, defense, AI, and advanced materials, creating a sustainable cooperation model that grows together with the region."
