[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] On July 29, six social customized industry-academia cooperation leading university (LINC+) project groups in the Busan area signed a joint agreement to promote the B.SORI Capstone Design Project at Dong-A University. The participating universities are Dongmyung University, Dongseo University, Dong-A University, Dong-Eui University, Pukyong National University, and Korea Maritime and Ocean University.

The B.SORI (Busan Solutions Of Regional Issues) project refers to a joint capstone design that listens to the "sounds" demanded by local companies and society and responds with the "voices" of participating students.

It is a project that seeks solutions to problems faced by Busan’s companies and local communities through capstone design, enhancing students' practical skills. It addresses three key areas: future industry core technologies, regional social innovation and contribution, and social ventures and social enterprises.

Participating students carry out the project by designing creative and comprehensive capstone designs, attending expert lectures and mentoring in each field, and receiving design thinking education.

Shin Dong-seok, head of the LINC+ project group at Dongmyung University, said, “The project will proceed to find solutions to the three key issues in the Busan area,” adding, “With this agreement, the six universities will join forces to further contribute to regional development and social contribution.”

The six LINC+ project groups in the Busan area are developing and operating various joint programs under the slogan “Beyond Competition, Toward Cooperation,” including real-time online entrepreneurship education, non-face-to-face AI interview consulting programs, and online-based I-Korea 4.0 short courses for industry.
