[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Geon-ju] Jeonju University announced on the 28th that it has been finally selected for the "Digital Society Innovation (DSI) Support Center Establishment" project, which was publicly recruited by the Ministry of Science and ICT and others to create a digital social innovation ecosystem.

The Digital Society Innovation (DSI) ecosystem creation project is a project aimed at resolving regional digital disparities and nurturing social innovation leaders.

The Digital Society Innovation Support Center was selected for the first time this year in three locations: Seoul, Chuncheon, and Jeonbuk, to systematically support regional DSI projects. In Jeonbuk, Jeonju University operates the center in cooperation with the Creative Economy Innovation Center.

In particular, the university anticipated that it was selected due to positive evaluations of living lab projects such as the solar streetlight project and the Seonmi-dong old town project, which involved participation from Jeonju University professors and students to solve urban problems.

Jeonju University focuses on intensive education to train local activists into DSI experts capable of deriving digital technology solutions, as well as supporting DSI solutions and consulting activities.

It also plans to carry out resident-participatory programs that solve local social issues through living lab-style DSI projects.

Professor Park Hyung-woong, head of the Jeonbuk DSI Support Center, said, "We will strive to nurture DSI leaders so that DSI solutions can be applied to various social innovation projects and activities in the region."
