[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Woo-kwon] The Gyeongnam Regional Innovation Platform Smart Community Project Group (Director Yoon Seok-heon, Professor of Architectural Engineering at Gyeongsang National University) announced on the 6th that it held a non-face-to-face business briefing and kick-off meeting for seven technology development projects and ten Challenge Lab construction projects.

In the first part, Professor Moon Tae-heon (Department of Urban Engineering, Gyeongsang National University), who is in charge of the overall responsibility for construction technology development linked with public institutions under the Smart Community Project Group, gave a greeting and explained the purpose and intent of the technology development projects, the project schedule, and the main contents of the agreement.

The agreement included participation of previous public institutions and technology networks, participation in the Smart Community Project Group’s Shared Center issue papers, active support for student participation and employment linkage, submission of research performance such as paper publication and book publishing, promising to strive to achieve the project’s purpose and intent together. It also explained the execution of project funds and held a Q&A session, stating that the Smart Community Project Group’s administrative office would actively cooperate to smoothly carry out each project.

In the second part, a business briefing and kick-off report were held for the Challenge Lab construction projects, which aim to build a research environment for young professors and provide technical experience for participating students to lay the foundation for nurturing local talent.

The purpose and intent of the Challenge Lab construction projects, the project schedule, and the main contents of the agreement were explained. Unlike the technology development projects, since these are for creating a research environment, efficient procurement of equipment suitable for the research purpose will be supported to ensure timely utilization.

Through this non-face-to-face briefing and kick-off meeting, it is expected that a new method without face-to-face interaction will create a network of construction technology and policy trends for smart cities, as well as technology and equipment. Furthermore, by conducting technology development tailored to the demands of public institutions through project promotion, it is anticipated that local talent will be nurtured and a regional base where young people can settle will be formed.

The Gyeongnam Regional Innovation Platform project is a collaboration linking Gyeongnam Province, regional innovation institutions, and 17 universities in the Gyeongnam area. It is a five-year project from August 1, 2020, to May 31, 2025, aimed at creating a sustainable virtuous cycle ecosystem among local governments, companies, and universities to promote regional coexistence and national balanced development.
