A platform has been established to enhance the policy understanding and practical skills of staff involved in the 'Anchor Project,' which plays a pivotal role in regional innovation and talent development at universities.
The Korean Council for University Education (KCUE) announced that its Regional Innovation University Support Center is hosting a two-day training program for staff from university anchor project teams at the L7 Gwangmyeong by Lotte Hotel from November 12 to 13. The training aims to improve the professional expertise of these staff members and promote information exchange among universities.
This training is designed to help staff who directly lead anchor projects at universities accurately grasp policy directions and systematically develop practical skills in performance management and financial accounting through a tailored program centered on theory and case studies.
On the first day, November 12, Kim Hye-min, an official from the Ministry of Education's Regional University Support Division, served as a speaker, explaining the government's policy direction on the understanding of the regional growth talent system (Anchor) and the role of universities. Following this, Hong Gi-gwon, deputy head of the Halla University Anchor Project Team, and Choi Seon-wook, head of the Gyeongnam University Anchor Project Team, shared practical best practices and know-how on managing performance indicators and achieving excellent results. Additionally, Park Il-jung, CEO of BC Universe, conducted a special lecture on utilizing generative artificial intelligence (AI) for work efficiency, followed by group networking and information exchange among participants.
On the second day, November 13, the training will focus on practical education to enhance the transparency and accuracy of project fund execution. Min Seon-mi, head of the university project support team at the Jeonnam Anchor Center, will provide guidance on project fund execution guidelines and examples of disallowed or fraudulent expenditures. Kim Il-sik, an instructor from the Korea Financial Information Service's Suwon Financial Support Center, will conduct training on utilizing the integrated management system for government subsidies (e-Nara Help) and managing project fund settlements.
The KCUE's Regional Innovation University Support Center plans to continue serving as a bridge by conveying the requests and concerns gathered from regional university communication meetings to the Ministry of Education and the Korea Research Foundation, ensuring that the voices from the field are faithfully reflected in future anchor policies and project operations.
Lee Kyung-hee, Secretary General of the KCUE, stated, “This training will serve as an opportunity for staff at the forefront of the anchor project to broaden their understanding of the initiative and further enhance their practical capabilities. The KCUE will continue to actively support universities in establishing themselves as key players in regional innovation.”
