[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Gwangju Metropolitan City announced on the 10th that it will publicly recruit about 500 members for the ‘Gwangju Innovation Participation Group’ to further expand citizen participation in city administration innovation.

The ‘Gwangju Innovation Participation Group’ will receive and share materials related to innovation projects from the government and Gwangju City, propose innovation tasks or opinions to improve citizens' lives, and will be operated starting next month.

Any Gwangju citizen interested in city administration innovation can apply. The recruitment fields are ▲ Administration & Welfare ▲ Safety & Environment ▲ Transportation & Construction ▲ Economy & Industry ▲ Culture & Tourism, totaling five fields.

The application period is until next month. Applicants can refer to the announcement on the Gwangju City website’s public notice section, download the application form, and submit it via email or fax.

Gwangju City plans to verify the accuracy of the applicants’ information and consent to personal information provision, classify them by field, and utilize them as innovation talents. The application results will be individually notified by the end of next month.

Lee Jeong-sik, the city’s Innovation Policy Officer, said, “We judged that there has been a lack of citizen opinion collection in city administration innovation so far, so we plan to form and operate the Gwangju Innovation Participation Group to share innovation with a broader range of citizens and receive task proposals. We ask for the participation of many citizens so that citizens’ opinions can be reflected in the overall innovation policy of Gwangju City.”
