[Asia Economy Reporter Suyeon Woo] Hyundai Motor Group has decided to provide in-house educational technology content to domestic and international universities as online lectures have become widespread due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).


On the 26th, Hyundai Motor Group announced that it will provide automotive technology-related videos and documents used internally for employee training to support online lectures at 122 domestic universities and 31 overseas universities.


This is to fulfill its social role as a leading cutting-edge technology company amid the increasing demand for high-quality lecture content as universities expand online lectures due to COVID-19. It is also intended to strengthen industry-academic cooperation with universities and help improve university students' understanding of automotive technology.


To this end, Hyundai Motor Group will share various educational materials through a dedicated website established to support online lectures. Hyundai NGV, the department in charge of industry-academic affairs within Hyundai Motor Group, supported the website establishment and plans to promote the online lecture support service to domestic and international universities.

Hyundai Motor Group selects content suitable for explaining technical principles and detailed structures from videos produced for technology promotion by each center within the R&D headquarters, and will prioritize providing videos on topics such as robotics, commercial vehicles, new technologies, eco-friendly technologies, and powertrains.


Additionally, in early May, the group plans to provide English versions of technical education documents related to topics such as power performance, R&H, chassis design, electronic design, multimedia, and NVH, as well as the entire set of educational materials.


A Hyundai Motor Group official said, "During a time when on-site lectures at universities are difficult due to COVID-19, we considered how we could help students' academic activities and decided to support online lecture content. We will continue to update content and operate the site to help university students improve their understanding of automotive technology."



Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Group operates various programs such as discovering promising technologies, joint industry-academic research, selecting research scholarship students, and autonomous vehicle competitions to lead industry-academic cooperation and fulfill social responsibility.
