[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Lee Beom-jin, head of the LINC+ Project Group (Professor of the Department of Well-being Physical Education) at Silla University (President Kim Chung-seok), received a commendation from the Minister of Education for his contributions to the 'Industry-Academia Cooperation Customized for Society' project.

Director Lee has been working at Silla University since 2005 and has served as the head of the LINC+ Project Group since 2017.

He was recognized for his contributions to revitalizing industry-academia cooperation, expanding education in socially customized departments, and resolving job mismatches between companies and students.

Since 2020, Director Lee has been serving as the chairman of the council for the Socially Customized Department-Focused Project Group (general universities), a key part of the Ministry of Education's Socially Customized Industry-Academia Cooperation Leading University (LINC+) Development Project.

He has devoted efforts to developing educational models to solve companies' recruitment difficulties and students' employment challenges, together with LINC+ project groups from 20 universities affiliated with the council.

The LINC+ project, which established curricula desired by companies and was promoted in the form of employment agreements, was a representative project that benefited both students and companies.

Director Lee said, “Over the past four years, the LINC+ Project Group has achieved remarkable results by nurturing talent desired by industries through socially customized department education. The 2021 academic year is the final year of the LINC+ project, and even after the project ends, we will do our best to establish a sustainable education system.”
