[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Six universities, including Dongmyung University, have collaborated to produce short-term online courses and decided to provide them free of charge to small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners.

The Dongmyung University Social Customized Industry-Academy Cooperation Leading University (LINC+) Promotion Group signed a joint agreement on the 10th with Busan-area LINC+ groups from Dongseo University, Dong-A University, Dong-Eui University, Pukyong National University, and Korea Maritime and Ocean University to jointly promote the online-based industry short-term course "I-Korea 4.0."

I-Korea 4.0 is a program that plans and operates education, seminars, and forums for industries online, which has recently gained attention due to COVID-19.

Through this agreement, the Busan-area six LINC+ alliance, including Dongmyung University, plans to produce 30 videos in five fields: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR·AR), Smart City, and Big Data·SNS Marketing, and provide them free of charge to employees of small and medium-sized enterprises and small business owners in the Busan area.

The Busan-area six LINC+ alliance, under the slogan of cooperation beyond competition, has previously signed an agreement to jointly develop and share online entrepreneurship courses to contribute to overcoming the COVID-19 crisis and regional industrial development.

Shin Dong-seok, head of the LINC+ Promotion Group at Dongmyung University, said, “If six universities in the Busan area cooperate to produce content on strategies and technologies related to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and provide it to employees, it will contribute to revitalizing the regional economy,” adding, “We plan to continue designing and operating various alliance programs in the future.”
