He participated in the LINC+ Industry-Academia Cooperation Advanced Field Training Curriculum of the Pukyong National University LINC+ Project Group (Director Seo Yong-cheol). The video content was produced based on his field training experience at the National Nakdong River Biological Resources Center, a freshwater biological research institute under the Ministry of Environment.

This contest was held for the first time this year to share excellent cases of industry-academia-research linked curricula through video content to enhance educational quality and spread the culture of industry-academia cooperation.

The contest was conducted by selecting winners through judging works that passed internal contests of 55 nationwide university project groups in the LINC+ Industry-Academia Cooperation Advanced sector and 40 nationwide project groups of the 4th Industrial Revolution Innovation Leading Universities. The award ceremony was held recently at the ‘2020 Industry-Academia Cooperation Expo’.

Prior to this award, the Pukyong National University LINC+ Project Group has received excellent evaluations in field training programs, winning the Grand Prize in 2019 and the Best Award in 2018 at industry-academia-research related contests hosted by the National Research Foundation of Korea.
