[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Mokpo National Maritime University (President Park Sung-hyun) announced on the 18th that it received an excellent evaluation in the annual assessment of the '2019 Government Financial Support Project' supported by the Ministry of Education and the National Research Foundation of Korea, and was allocated a project budget of 4.42 billion KRW this year (2.694 billion KRW for the University Innovation Support Project, 1.731 billion KRW for the National University Development Project).

Selected as an autonomous improvement university in the 2018 Basic University Competency Diagnosis, Mokpo National Maritime University, which operates the 'Government Financial Support Project,' received high marks in the University Innovation Support Project evaluation for its systematic establishment of mid- to long-term development goals, educational objectives, and talent vision aimed at achieving the university’s vision, ‘GPS Vision 2025+,’ as well as the detailed composition of the university innovation support project specialization strategy (Marine 4.0) linked to these goals.

In particular, in the National University Development Project evaluation, the university was recognized for excellence in strengthening the publicness and accountability of national universities through programs reflecting regional industrial workforce supply and demand trends, solving regional issues, and providing higher education opportunities.

This represents an increase of approximately 390 million KRW compared to last year’s project budget, which is expected to significantly contribute to the expansion of the university’s finances.

Choi Hyun-jun, Director of Planning, said, “Although there were many difficulties in carrying out the Government Financial Support Project, we achieved good results through the efforts of our members. We will do our best to supplement the shortcomings revealed in the evaluation results and positively connect them to the upcoming third cycle of the Basic University Competency Diagnosis evaluation.”

Meanwhile, Mokpo National Maritime University, celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, plans to continuously promote government financial support projects based on ‘GPS Vision 2025+’ and do its best to nurture talent that contributes to education, research, industry-academia development, and the growth engine of the local community and the nation through various programs.
